Answer is: hydrogen (H).

Main sequence stars fuse hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms in their cores.

About 90 percent of the stars in the universe are main sequence stars.

Nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the Sun and hydrogen is conveted into helium.

The inner core is the central region of the Sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.

How many moles of methane are in 20.32 x 10^16 molecules

Marizza181 [45]

Taking into account the definition of avogadro's number, 3.37×10⁻⁷ moles of methane are 20.32×10¹⁶ molecules.

First of all, you have to know that Avogadro's number indicates the number of particles of a substance (usually atoms or molecules) that are in a mole.

Its value is 6.023×10²³ particles per mole and it applies to any substance.

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 6.023×10²³ molecules are contained in 1 mole of methane, then 20.32×10¹⁶ molecules are contained in how many moles of methane?

amount of moles of methane= (20.32×10¹⁶ molecules × 1 mole)÷ 6.023×10²³ atoms

Solving:

amount of moles of methane= 3.37×10⁻⁷ moles

Finally, 3.37×10⁻⁷ moles of methane are 20.32×10¹⁶ molecules.

What is the volume of 40.0 grams of argon gas at STP ?

MrRa [10]

Answer:

24.9 L Ar

General Formulas and Concepts:

Atomic Structure

Reading a Periodic Table
Moles
STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K

Aqueous Solutions

States of Matter

Stoichiometry

Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Given] 40.0 g Ar

[Solve] L Ar

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[PT] Molar Mass of Ar - 39.95 g/mol

[STP] 22.4 L = 1 mol

Step 3: Convert

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 40.0 \ g \ Ar(\frac{1 \ mol \ Ar}{39.95 \ g \ Ar})(\frac{22.4 \ L \ Ar}{1 \ mol \ Ar})$
[DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 24.9235 \ L \ Ar$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

24.9235 L Ar ≈ 24.9 L Ar
