Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 3 \times 10^{21} \ atoms \ Hg}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many atoms are in 1 gram of mercury.

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

First, we convert grams to moles. We use the molar mass or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. These values are equivalent to the atomic masses on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.

Look up mercury's molar mass.

  • Hg:  200.59 g/mol

We convert using dimensional analysis, so we create a ratio using the molar mass.

\frac { 200.59 \ g \ Hg}{ 1 \ mol \ Hg}

We are converting 1 gram of mercury to moles, so we multiply the ratio by this value.

1 \ g \ Hg *\frac { 200.59 \ g \ Hg}{ 1 \ mol \ Hg}

Flip the ratio so the units of grams of mercury cancel out.

1 \ g \ Hg *\frac{ 1 \ mol \ Hg} { 200.59 \ g \ Hg}

1  *\frac{ 1 \ mol \ Hg} { 200.59}

\frac{ 1} { 200.59} \ mol \ Hg

0.004985293385 \ mol \ Hg

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

Next, we convert moles to atoms. We use Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of mercury.

We will use dimensional analysis and set up another ratio.

\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Hg}{ 1 \ mol \ Hg}

Multiply by the number of moles we calculated.

0.004985293385 \ mol \ Hg * \frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Hg}{ 1 \ mol \ Hg}

The units of moles of mercury cancel.

0.004985293385  * \frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Hg}{ 1 }

3.00214368 \times 10^{21} \ atoms \ Hg

<h3>3. Round </h3>

The original measurement of grams has 1 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the ones place. The 0 in the tenths place tells us to leave the 3 in the ones place.

3 \times 10^{21} \ atoms \ Hg

There are approximately <u>3×10²¹ atoms of mercury</u> in 1 gram of mercury.

7. Which of the following would lower the pitch of a string instrument's sound?
vfiekz [6]

The correct option is C.

The pitch of a string refers to the quality of sound that is produced by the string when it vibrates. There are three basic factors that affect the quality of pitch of a string, these are: the tension, the thickness of the string and the length of the string. The higher the thickness of the string, the lower the pitch of the string, thus, increasing the thickness of the string will lower the pitch.

A gas with an empirical formula C2H2O has a molecular weight of 120.6g/mol. A possible molecular formula for the gas is
Virty [35]

M(C2H2O)= 12.0*2 +1.0*2 +16.0 = 42 g/mol is a molar mass for empirical formula.

120.6g/mol/42g/mol ≈ 3

So, empirical formula should be increased 3 times,

and molecular formula is C6H6O3.

Answer is D.
