  • 0.24 mol

  • 15.1 mol

View Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: Option B -

4.15 mol

Explanation:

To calculate moles: Moles=AtomsAvogadro’s Number=2.50×10246.022×10234.15 mol\text{Moles} = \frac{\text{Atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's Number}} = \frac{2.50 \times 10^{24}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \approx 4.15 \text{ mol}Moles=Avogadro’s NumberAtoms=6.022×10232.50×10244.15 mol.

What is the mass of 0.500 moles of Calcium (Ca)? (Atomic mass of Ca = 40.08 g/mol)

  • 40.08 g

  • 80.16 g

  • 10.02 g

View Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: Option A -

20.04 g

Explanation:

Mass=Moles×Molar Mass=0.500×40.08=20.04 g\text{Mass} = \text{Moles} \times \text{Molar Mass} = 0.500 \times 40.08 = 20.04 \text{ g}Mass=Moles×Molar Mass=0.500×40.08=20.04 g

Which sample contains the greatest number of atoms?

  • 1.0 mol of Ar

  • 1.0 mol of H2_22

  • 1.0 mol of Na

  • 0.5 mol of He

View Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: Option B -

1.0 mol of H2_22

Explanation:

1 mole of Ar contains 6.022×10236.022 \times 10^{23}6.022×1023 atoms. 1 mole of H2_22 contains 6.022×10236.022 \times 10^{23}6.022×1023 molecules, but since each molecule has 2 atoms, it contains 1.2×10241.2 \times 10^{24}1.2×1024 atoms. This is greater than the other options.

Calculate the number of molecules in 36.0 grams of water (H2_22O). (Molar mass of H2_22O = 18.02 g/mol)
