How many chlorine molecules are in 35.5g of chlorine gas

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: since chlorine is one of the 7 diatomic elements we know that chlorine appears as Cl₂ gas naturally.  That means that the molar mass of a chlorine gas is 70.9g/mol.  That being said, first you need to find the number of moles of chlorine gas that are present in a 35.5g sample.  To do this divide 35.5g by the molar mass of chlorine gas (70.9g/mol) to get 0.501mol of chlorine.  Then you have to multiply 0.501mol by 6.02×10²³ to get the number of chlorine gas molecules.  Therefore 3.01×10²³ molecules of chlorine gas are present in a 35.5g sample.

I hope that helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Why is tin foil a good insulator

Answers

Tin foil is a heat insulator because it can reflect radiation. When tin foil, for instance, is wrapped around an object, air can be trapped. Trapped air is a good insulator against convection.

Identify which one of these are exact numbers. (Can be more than 1) a. 2.54 cm ( the number of centimeters in exactly 1 in)
b. 56.00 s ( a time measured by a stopwatch)
c. 4 choices ( the number of choices in this list)
d. 3 lbs ( the weight of an object measured on a scale )

Answers

Answer: a. 2.54 cm ( the number of centimeters in exactly 1 in) and c. 4 choices ( the number of choices in this list)


Justification:


1) a. 2.54 cm ( the number of centimeters in exactly 1 in)


Although the exact length of one inch has varied in the past, currently the inch is defined as exactly 2.54 cm, so this is an exact number.



b. 56.00 s ( a time measured by a stopwatch)


The time measured by a stopwatch is not an exact number. The number is limited by the precision of the instrument (the stopwatch) and it migh have been 56.004 instead of 56.00, and the stopwatch cannot shoe that. So, this is not an exact number.


c. 4 choices ( the number of choices in this list)


This is, indeed an exact number. It is 4, not 4.1, nor 3.9, nor any other number.


d. 3 lbs ( the weight of an object measured on a scale )


As reasoned with the stopwatch, this measure, 3 lbs, is subject to the precision of the scale. It is not an exact number. It could be other number close to 3: 2.99 for example.

These are exact numbers: c. 4 choices ( the number of choices in this list)  and d. 3 lbs ( the weight of an object measured on a scale )

Further explanation

The exact number is a value that is known with complete certainty. Examples are counted numbers of objects or certain unit conversions such as exactly 3 feet in 1 yard. Another example is, a dozen is defined as 12 objects, and a pound is defined as 16 ounces.

Fraction an exact number is a fraction takes two integers and places them in a ratio, for example 3/4 or 10/15. A decimal can express the same numerical quantity, but it does so with a single number (like 0.75 or 0.66). So, the fraction makes the relationship among numbers clear in the way it is written.

While a decimal can express the same numerical quantity, but it does so with a single number (like 0.75 or 0.66).

a. 2.54 cm ( the number of centimeters in exactly 1 in) is decimal

b. 56.00 s ( a time measured by a stopwatch)  is not exact numbers

c. 4 choices ( the number of choices in this list)  is exact numbers

d. 3 lbs ( the weight of an object measured on a scale ) is exact numbers

A test tube containing CaCO₃ is heated until the entire compound decomposes. If the test tube plus calcium carbonate originally weighed 30.08 grams and the loss of mass during the experiment was 4.40 grams, what was the approximate mass of the empty test tube?A. 20.08 g
B. 21.00 g
C. 24.50 g
D. 25.08 g
E. 25.68 g
Can anyone explain this one for me?

Answers

Find the molar mass of CaCO3 then subtract the molar mass what it originally weighed and the loss of mass. Hopefully this works!
