How many carbon atoms are there in a diamond (pure carbon) with a mass of 77 mg

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

3.86 x 10^24 carbon atoms in a 77 gram diamond

Explanation:

A key tool for chemistry and physics is the concept of the mole.  The definition of a mole is actually quite simple.  One mole is 6.02 x 10^23 of something.  Anything.  One can say " I have 1 mole of paperclips(PPC) in my closet.".  That simply says that there are 6.02 x 10^23 paperclips(PPC) in your closet.  It does suggest, however, that you may be demented.  One mole of PPC, placed end-to-end, would stretch a LONG way.

Average PPC Length = 4.45 cm

! mole of PPC would stretch (6.02 x 10^23)*(4.45 cm) = 2.68 x 10^24 cm

That is 2.68 x 10^19 km

The distance to the moon is 3.84x10^5 km.  So 1 mole of PPC will stretch to the moon and back 6.97 x 10^13 times.

This mental diversion does not answer the question, but it does explain what comes next for calculating the number of carbon atoms in 77 mg of diamond.  The brilliant connection that allows this calculation is how 1 mole (Avogadro's Number) ties in with the atomic masses of the elements.  The atomic mass of an element, as shown on a periodic table, is also the mass of that element that contain Avogadro's Number of atoms.  The atomic mass, written in AMU (atomic mass units) can ALSO be written as the molar mass, in units of grams/mole.  That is, the number of grams of that element that would amount to 6.02 x 10^23 (1 mole) of tat element's atoms.

Carbon, with an atomic mass of 12, can be said to have a Molar Mass of 12 grams/mole.

Use the units to guide the calculation needed to find the number of carbon atoms (in this case divide the grams carbon by the molar mass):

        (77 grams Carbon)/(12 grams/mole Carbon)  

The grams unit cancels and the moles unit moves to the top, leaving a number that is simply moles of carbon.

       (77 grams Carbon)/(12 grams/mole Carbon) = 6.42 moles carbon

By definition, 1 mole equals 6.02 x 10^23 carbon atoms.

     (6.42 moles carbon)*((6.02 x 10^23 carbon atoms)/mole)

Moles cancel, leaving carbon atoms

    = 3.86 x 10^24 carbon atoms in a 77 gram diamond

How are energy and mass connected during the formation of an atom?

Answers

Energy and mass are required during the formation of an atom. The binding of an atom is the attraction of the forces. So, the mass defects and energies of the protons and neutron are being released to form the nucleus.

Answer:

Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced

Explanation:

The relationship between the mass and the energy is given by Einstein formula as : m is the mass of an atom c is the speed of light When an atom is formed, the energy gets absorbed. As a result mass will decrease as per Einstein's equation.

So, the correct option is (c) "Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced".

Why does salt dissolve in water?

Answers

The water dissolves the salt because the water molecules are able to interact with the salt-forming particles, called ions. When the water Interacts with the trainers of the salt ions, the solid salt crystal structure Suffers breakdown, until the trainers of the salt ions are completely surrounded by water molecules. At this time the salt is fully dissolved by water.

What is an atom?

An atom is defined as the smallest unit of matter which forms an element. Every form of matter whether solid,liquid , gas consists of atoms . Each atom has a nucleus which is composed of protons and neutrons and shells in which the electrons revolve.

The protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral and hence the nucleus is positively charged. The electrons which revolve around the nucleus are negatively charged and hence the atom as a whole is neutral and stable due to presence of oppositely charged particles.

Atoms of the same element are similar as they have number of sub- atomic particles which on combination do not alter the chemical properties of the substances.

Cranberries and grapes may have therapeutic value. A cranberry company obtained the patent for a process to extract the oil from cranberry seeds. According to the patent, this oil can be used to treat breast cancer or to reduce its incidence. The oil can be used in drinks and foods. A grape juice company claims to have evidence that certain grapes have health benefits ranging from improving cardiovascular health to improving cognitive brain function in the elderly. These claims will be tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before the companies are allowed to market their products for “treating” ailments or “improving” health. Until then, the companies can describe that their products “help to maintain” or “support” health. Until studies support their claims, the companies cannot ascribe direct health benefits to their products.Why would the FDA perform tests when a cranberry company and a grape company have already conducted research on the same products?A. The FDA is the only organization that can test if health actually improves.B. Tests that are performed by any company which benefits financially are considered unreliable.C. The FDA tests give reliability to the results of improved health obtained by each company.D. Tests performed by the FDA follow established scientific methods, but those performed by companies do not.
