Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ 214 \ g }}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a given number of water (H₂O) molecules.

<h3>1. Convert Molecules to Moles</h3>

First, we convert molecules to moles. We will use Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are molecules of water. Therefore,<u> there are 6.022 ×10²³ molecules of water in 1 mole of water</u>.

We will convert using dimensional analysis, so we must set up a ratio using the underlined information.

\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ H_2O}

We are converting 7.15 × 10²⁴ molecules of water to moles, so we multiply the ratio by that value.

7.15 \times 10^{24} \ molecules \ H_2O*\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ H_2O}

Flip the ratio so the units of molecules of water cancel each other out.

7.15 \times 10^{24} \ molecules \ H_2O*\frac {1 \ mol \ H_2O} {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2O}

7.15 \times 10^{24} *\frac {1 \ mol \ H_2O} {6.022 \times 10^{23} }

\frac {7.15 \times 10^{24}} {6.022 \times 10^{23} } \ mol \ H_2O

11.87313185\ mol \ H_2O

<h3>2. Convert Moles to Grams </h3>

Next, we convert moles to grams. We will use the molar mass. This is the mass of 1 mole of a substance. These values are found on the Periodic Table. They are equivalent to the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.

Look up the molar masses of the individual elements in water: hydrogen and oxygen.

  • H: 1.008 g/mol
  • O: 15.999 g/mol

There is a subscript of 2 after H, so there 2 moles of hydrogen in 1 mole of water. Multiply the molar mass by 2 before adding oxygen's molar mass.

  • H₂: 1.008 * 2 = 2.016 g/mol
  • H₂O: 2.016 + 15.999 = 18.015 g/mol

We convert using dimensional analysis again and set up another ratio.

\frac {18.015 \ g \ H_2O}{ 1 \ mol \ H_2O}

Multiply by the number of moles we just calculated.

11.87313185 \ mol \ H_2O *\frac {18.015 \ g \ H_2O}{ 1 \ mol \ H_2O}

The units of moles of water cancel.

11.87313185  *\frac {18.015 \ g \ H_2O}{ 1 }

213.8944703 \ g \ H_2O

The original measurement of molecules has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the one place. The 8 in the tenths place tells us to round the 3 up to a 4.

214 \ g \ H_2O

There are approximately <u>214 grams of water</u> and <u>choice B</u> is correct.

Answer:

B. 214.02

Explanation:

1 mol of water weighs 18.015 gm and contains 6.023 × 10²³ molecules

From question, We have 7.15 × 10²⁴ molecules

Dividing we get (7.15 × 10 ²⁴) ÷ ( 6.023 × 10²³) = 11.871 molecules

Now, Weight of water = 11.871 × 18.015 = 213.85 which is nearer to option B

If an element has 11 protons and 11 neutrons in its nucleus it must be ?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

the answer is 11

Explanation:

Ok, let us understand what is an atomic number, an atomic number is simply the proton number, the atomic number is always seen at the bottom left corner in a element of a periodic table, it is the number of proton in a atom of a certain element.
