The mass of a single gold atom is 3.27X10^-22 grams. How many gold Adams with there be in 57.8 mg of gold.

vichka [17]

Answer:

18 * 10^19 atoms

Explanation:

We must first convert 57.8 mg to grams.

If 1000 mg = 1g

57.8 mg = 57.8/1000 = 57.8 * 10^-3 g

Now;

If 1 gold atom has a mass of 3.27X10^-22 grams

x gold atoms have a mass of 57.8 * 10^-3 g

x = 57.8 * 10^-3 g/3.27X10^-22 g

x = 18 * 10^19 atoms

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: The molecules of oxygen gas that will be reduced to water are 42 molecules

Explanation:

We are given:

$E^o_{(NO_2^-/NH_4)}=-0.41V\\E^o_{(O_2/H_2O)}=0.82V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, oxygen will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.
