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>

What is the final concentration of the solution produced when 225.5 mL of 0.09988-M solution of Na2CO3 is allowed to evaporate u
ikadub [295]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

       V_{1} = 225.5 mL,             V_{2} = 45.00 mL

       M_{1} = 0.09988 M,          M_{2} = ?

Therefore, formula to calculate final concentration will be as follows.

                  M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

            M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}

   0.09988 M \times 225.5 mL = M_{2} \times 45.0 mL

                    M_{2} = 0.5 M

Thus, we can conclude that the final concentration of the given solution is 0.5 M.

amid [387]
Molecular weight of AgBr = 187.7
moles of Ag = \frac{0.5555}{187.7} = 2.96 x 10^{-3}
moles of Br = moles of Ag = 2.96 x 10⁻³ mol
concentration of HBr (Molarity) = conc. of Br (strong acid) = \frac{2.96 x 10^{-3} }{45 x 10^{-3} } = 0.0658 mol/l

If your car gets 30.3 mi/gal, how many gallons of gasoline would you use if you drove 506.3 miles? 1 mile = 5280 ft (exactly) In
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: 16.7 gallon

Explanation:

Given: The car can drive 30.3 miles when 1 gallon of gasoline is used.

Distance covered = 506.3 miles

Thus for 30.3 miles, the amount of gasoline used= 1 gallon

For 506.3 miles, the amount of gasoline used=\frac{1}{30.3}\times 506.3=16.7gallon

Thus the amount of gasoline used is 16.7 gallons.
