Use dimensional analysis to solve the following problems. Pay attention to correct use of units and correct use of significant figures in calculations. Please show work! Convert 3.00 x 10^21 atoms of copper to moles.

Convert 2.25 x 10^18 molecules of carbon dioxide to moles.

1) 0.00498 mol Cu.

2) 0.00000374 mol CO₂

Explanation:

Question 1)

We want to convert 3.00 * 10²¹ copper atoms into moles. Note that 3.00 is three significant figures.

Recall that by definition, one mole of a substance has exactly 6.022 * 10²³ amount of that substance. In other words, we have the ratio:

We are given 3.00 * 10²¹ Cu. To cancel out the Cu, we can multiply it by our above ratio with Cu in the denominator. Hence:

Cancel like terms:

Simplify:

Use a calculator:

Since the resulting answer must have three significant figures:

So, 3.00 * 10²¹ copper atoms is equivalent to approximately 0.00498 moles of copper.

Question 2)

We want to convert 2.25 * 10¹⁸ molecules of carbon dioxide into moles. Note that 2.25 is three significant digits.

By definition, there will be 6.022 * 10²³ carbon dioxide molecules in one mole of carbon dioxide. Hence:

To cancel the carbon dioxide from 2.25 * 10¹⁸, we can multiply it by the above ratio with the carbon dioxide in the denominator. Hence:

Cancel like terms:

Simplify:

Use a calculator:

Since the resulting answer must have three significant figures:

So, 2.25 * 10¹⁸ molecules of carbon dioxide is equivalent to approximately 0.00000374 moles of carbon dioxide.

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
