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>

how much hydrogen will be released during the interaction of potassium weighing 8 grams with hydrochloric acid
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

With an understanding of the ideal gas laws, it is now possible to apply these principles to chemical stoichiometry problems. For example, zinc metal and hydrochloric acid (hydrogen chloride dissolved in water) react to form zinc (II) chloride and hydrogen gas according to the equation shown below:

2 HCl (aq) + Zn (s) → ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)
