Answer:

Explanation:

The metric system is a system of measurement that uses the meter, liter, and gram as base units of length (distance), capacity (volume), and weight (mass) respectively.

To measure smaller or larger quantities, we use units derived from the metric units

metric-system

The given figure shows the arrangement of the metric units, which are smaller or bigger than the base unit.

The units to the right of the base unit are smaller than the base unit. As we move to the right, each unit is 10 times smaller or one-tenth of the unit to its left. So, a ‘deci’ means one-tenth of the base unit, ‘centi’ is one-tenth of ‘deci’ or one-hundredth of the base unit and ‘milli’ is one-tenth of ‘centi’ or one-thousandth of the base unit.

The units to the left of the base unit are bigger than the base unit. As we move to the left, each unit is 10 times greater than the unit to its right. So, a ‘deca’ means ten times of the base unit, ‘hecto’ is ten times of ‘deca’ or hundred times of the base unit and ‘killo’ is ten times of ‘hecto’ or thousand times of the base unit.

A sample of table sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11) has a mass of 1.202 g.

Archy [21]

Answer:

a) 0.003512 moles

b) Moles C= 0.04214 moles carbon

Moles H = 0.07726 moles hydrogen

Moles O = 0.03863 moles of oxygen

c) C atoms = 2.54 *10^22 carbon atoms

H atoms = 4.65 *10^22 hydrogen atoms

O atoms = 2.33 *10^22 oxygen atom

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sucrose = 1.202 grams

Molar mass of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of sucrose

Moles sucrose = Mass sucrose / molar mass sucrose

Moles sucrose = 1.202 grams / 342.3 g/mol

Moles sucrose = 0.003512 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of each element

For 1 mol of C12H22O11 we have 12 moles of carbon, 22 moles of hydrogen and 11 moles of oxygen

Moles C: 12*0.003512 = 0.04214 moles carbon

Moles H: 22* 0.003512 = 0.07726 moles hydrogen

Moles O: 11* 0.003512 = 0.03863 moles of oxygen

Step 4: Calculate the number of atoms

C atoms = 6.022 *10^23 / mol * 0.04214 moles = 2.54 *10^22 atoms carbon

H atoms = 6.022 * 10^23 / mol * 0.07726 moles = 4.65 *10^22 atoms H

O atoms = 6.022 * 10^23 / mol * 0.03863 moles = 2.33 *10^22 atoms O

0.003512 moles of sucrose containse 6.022 *10^23 * 0.003512 = 2.11 * 10^21 sucrose molecules

A car with a mass of 1,500 kg is traveling at a speed of 30 m/s. What force must be applied to stop the car in 3 seconds ?

saw5 [17]

Yo sup??

we can solve this problem by applying Newton's 2nd law

F*t=Δp

p=momentum

pi=mu=1500*30

pf=mv=m*0=0

Therefore

F*3=1500*30

F=15000 N

Hope this helps.

In terms of electrons, what happens when Cations bond with anions?

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

when an atom, typically a metal, loses an electron or electrons, and becomes a positive ion, or cation. Another atom, typically a non-metal, is able to acquire the electron(s) to become a negative ion, or anion.
