The first thing you have to do is find the number of mols. That's done in terms of the masses.
mol = mass of sample / molar mass
mol = 0.900 / 12.0
mol = 0.0750 mol Carbon

Next Each mol of carbon contains 6 mol of electrons. 
mol electrons = 6 * mol of carbon 
mol electrons = 6* 0.0750 = 0.450 mol

Next find out how many electrons are in 0.450 mol
1 mol = 6.02 * 10^23 
0.450 mol  = 6.02 * 10^23 * 0.45 = 2.71 * 10^23 electrons

Finally find the charge in coulombs
1 electron has a charge of 1.60 * 10 ^- 19
2.71 * 10^23 electrons have a charge of 1.6*10^-19 * 2.71*10^23
The answer is 43360 Coulombs = 4.34 * 10^4 coulombs. 

I have deliberately not used textbook formulas because each textbook has its own format.

The gravitational force between two spheres in outer space is 1000 n. how large would this force be if the mass of each sphere w
kipiarov [429]

The force will remain same if the mass of each sphere is doubled and the distance between them is doubled as well.

The force of gravitation between two spheres is given by

f=\frac{G m1 m2}{r^{2}}

m1= mass of first object

m2= mass of second object

r= distance between the masses

Now if each mass is doubled and the distance r is doubled as well

F'= \frac{G (2m1)(2m2)}{(2r)^{2}}

F'= \frac{4 G m1 m2}{4r^{2}}

F'=\frac{G m1 m2 }{r^{2}}

so F'= F

so the force remains same and is equal to 1000 N.

Estimate the water volume in the graduated cylinder to the nearest 0.1 mL.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

With a 50-mL graduated cylinder, read and record the volume to the nearest 0.1 mL. The 10-mL graduated cylinder scale is read to the nearest 0.01 mL and the 500-mL graduated cylinder scale is read to the nearest milliliter (1 mL). A buret is a scaled cylindrical tube attached to a stopcock, or valve.
