Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.6 \times 10^{24} \ atoms \ Si}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many atoms are in a sample of 75 grams of silicon.

<h3>1. Convert Grams to Moles</h3>

First, we must convert grams to moles using the molar mass. This is the mass of 1 mole of a substance. The molar mass is found on the Periodic Table because it is equal to the atomic mass, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.

Look up the molar mass of silicon.

  • Si: 28.085 g/mol

We convert using dimensional analysis, so we must set up a conversion factor.

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

We are converting 75 grams of silicon to moles, so we multiply by this value.

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

Flip the conversion factor so the units of grams of silicon cancel.

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

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

\frac {75}{28.085} \ mol \ Si

2.670464661 \ mol \ Si

<h3>2. Convert Moles to Atoms </h3>

Next, we convert moles to atoms using 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 problem, the particles are atoms of silicon.

Set up another conversion factor, this time with Avogadro's Number.

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

Multiply by the number of moles we found.

2.670464661 \ mol \ Si*\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}

The units of moles of silicon cancel.

2.670464661 *\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1 }

2.670464661 * {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}

1.60815382 \times 10^{24} \ atoms \ Si

The original value of grams (75) has 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the tenths place. The 0 in the hundredths place tells us to leave the 6 in the tenths place.

1.6 \times 10^{24} \ atoms \ Si

A piece of wood near a fire is at 23°c. it gains 1,160 joules of heat from the fire and reaches a temperature of 42°c. the speci
Alex73 [517]

The mass of the piece of wood is 35.58 g.

Joule = M × T × C

Where, M = mass

T = change in temperature(42C-23C=19 C)

C = specific heat capacity = 1.716 joules/gram

Substituting the values in the equation,

1160 = M × 19 × 1.716

M = 1160/32.604 = 35.58 g

Therefore, the mass of the piece of wood = 35.58 g

<h3>What is meant by specific heat capacity?</h3>

A material's specific heat capacity, which is defined as its heat capacity divided by its mass, determines how much energy is required to increase a gram's temperature by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin)

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is the quantity of matter in a physical body.
