How many atoms are there in 8.88 g Si?

Chemistry

Mariana [72]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.90 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many atoms are in 8.88 grams of silicon.

<h3>1. 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 found on the Periodic Table as they are equal to the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.

Look up silicon's molar mass.

  • Si:  28.085 g/mol

We will convert using dimensional analysis. Set up a conversion factor with the molar mass.

\frac { 28.085 \ g \  Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}

We are converting 8.88 grams of silicon to moles, so we multiply by this value.

8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac { 28.085 \ g \  Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}

Flip the fraction so the units of grams of silicon cancel.

8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 \ g \  Si}

8.88  *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 }

\frac {8.88} { 28.085 } \ mol \ Si

0.316183015845 \ mol \ Si

<h3>2. 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, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of silicon.

Set up another conversion factor.

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

Multiply by the number of moles we calculated.

0.316183015845\ mol \ Si *\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}

The units of moles of silicon cancel.

0.316183015845 * \frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1}

0.316183015845 * {{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}

1.90405412 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si

<h3>3. Significant Figures</h3>

The original measurement of 8.88 grams has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.

For the number we calculated, that is the hundredth place. The 4 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 0 in the hundredth place.

1.90 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si

<u>8.88 grams of silicon contains 1.90 ×10²³ atoms of silicon.</u>

The following balanced equation describes the reduction of iron(III) oxide to molten iron within a blast furnace: Fe2O3(s) + 3CO
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 23.75 g

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction: Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ----> 2Fe + 3CO₂

Molar mass of Fe₂O₃ = 160 g/mol;

Molar mass of Carbon (ii) oxide = 28 g/mol

From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of Fe₂O₃ reacts with 3 moles of carbon (ii) oxide; i.e. 160 g of iron (iii) oxide reacts with 84 g (3 * 28 g)  of carbon (ii) oxide

450 g of Fe₂O₃ will react with 450 * 84/180) g of carbon (ii) oxide = 236..25 g of carbon (ii) oxide

Therefore the excess reactant is carbon (ii) oxide.

Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 260 - 236.25

Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 23.75 g

What property of water molecules allows water to dissolve many substances
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Its high polarity

Explanation:

Solvent is the that part of solution which is present in large proportion and have ability to dissolve the solute. In simplest form it is something in which other substance get dissolve. The most widely used solvent is water, other examples are toluene, acetone, ethanol, chloroform etc.

Water is called universal solvent because of high polarity all polar substance are dissolve in it. Hydrogen is less electronegative while oxygen is more electronegative and because of difference in electronegativity hydrogen carry the partial positive charge while oxygen carry partial negative charge.

Water create electrostatic interaction with other polar molecules. The negative end of water attract the positive end of polar molecules and positive end of water attract negative end of polar substance and in this way polar substance get dissolve in it.

Example:

when we stir the sodium chloride into water the cation Na⁺ ions are surrounded by the negative end of water i.e oxygen and anion Cl⁻ is surrounded by the positive end of water i.e hydrogen and in this way all salt is get dissolved.
