Hi there!

Let me know if you have questions about my answer:

6.15 × 10²⁴

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms, divide the mass of calcium (m) by its molar mass (MM). This will give you the number of moles of calcium (n).

$n = m/MM$ Start with a formula

$=\frac{41.0g}{40.08g/mol}$ Substitute values from the question

$= \frac{41.0g*1mol}{40.08g}$ Simplify

$= \frac{41.0mol}{40.08}$ Cancel out the units "g"

$= 1.022...mol$ Number of moles of calcium, with 4 significant figures

Then, multiply the number of moles of calcium (n) by Avogadro's number ( $N_{A}$ ) to find the number of calcium atoms.

$Number.of.Ca=n*N_{A}$ Start with a formula

$= 1.022mol*\frac{6.022*10^{23}Ca}{1mol}$ Substitute values from the question

$= \frac{1.022mol*6.022*10^{23}Ca}{1mol}$ Simplify

$= 1.022*(6.022*10^{23}Ca)$ Cancel out the units "mol"

$= 6.154*10^{24} Ca$ Multiply, leave one extra digit to help round. "4" tells you to round down.

$= 6.15*10^{24} Ca$ Final answer to 3 significant figures*

*When multiplying and dividing numbers, your final answer will have the same number of significant figures as the number with the least number of significant figures in the question.

40.08 has 4 significant figures. 41.0 has 3 significant figures. So, you want 3 significant figures in your final answer.

I hope this helps!

16.0 grams of molecular oxygen gas is equal to

IceJOKER [234]

One thing to notice in the question is, we are asked about molecular oxygen that has formula O2 not atomic oxygen O.

As we are asked about molecular oxygen, we will answer the question in terms of number of molecules that are present in 16 grams of molecular oxygen.

To get the number of molecules present in 16 grams of O2, we will use the formula:

No. of molecules = no. of moles x Avogadro's number (NA)----- eq 1)

As we know:

The number of moles = mass/ molar mass of molecule

Here we have been given mass already, 16 grams and the molar mass of O2 is 32 grams.

Putting the values in above formula:

= 16/32

= 0.5 moles

Putting the number of moles and Avogadro's number (6.02 * 10^23) in eq 1

No. of molecules = 0.5 x 6.02 * 10^23

=3.01 x 10^23 molecules

or 301,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules

This means that 16 grams of 3.01 x 10^23 molecules of oxygen.

Hope it helps!

3) In the Hydrolysis of Disaccharides and Polysaccharides portion of the lab, starch should give one positive iodine test and on

AfilCa [17]

Answer: potassium iodide is the basic test for starch,and the positive test is blue-black coloration, any other test substance which is not starch will give a negative results.

Explanation:

Starch is an example of polysaccharide and since the standard test for it is potassium iodide solution, it gives a positive test.

Diasaccharides e.g maltose are reducing sugars.their standard test is BENEDICT test .

Therefore, in the hydrolysis; starch should give a positve test, while Diasaccharides should give negative rest.

How many of the following statements about silver acetate, AgCH3COO, are true? i) More AgCH3CoO(S) will dissolve if the pH of th

shutvik [7]

Answer:

All three statements are true

Explanation:

Solubility equilibrium of silver acetate:

$AgCH_{3}COO\rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}+CH_{3}COO^{-}$

If pH is increased then concentration of $H^{+}$ increases in solution resulting removal of $CH_{3}COO^{-}$ by forming $CH_{3}COOH$ . Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards right. So more $AgCH_{3}COO$ will dissolve
If $AgNO_{3}$ is added then concentration of $Ag^{+}$ increases in solution resulting shifting of equilibrium towards left in accordance with Le-chatelier principle. So less $AgCH_{3}COO$ will dissolve
Insoluble precipitate of AgOH is formed by adding NaOH in solution resulting removal of $Ag^{+}$ . So, more $AgCH_{3}COO$ will dissolve

Hence all three statements are true

How are independent and dependent variables related?

shtirl [24]

They are pretty much the cause and effect. The independent variable that is being changed in the experiment, so it is the cause. The dependant variable is the result of change the independant variable, so the effect.
