To determine the number of carbon atoms in a 1.3-carat diamond: Result: 1.3 x 10^22 C atoms...
Given that 1 carat equals 0.20 g... therefore, 0.3 carat converts to 0.20 / 0.3 = 0.06 g
Thus, for a 1.3 carat = 0.26g
Calculating moles first:
Moles= Grams / Molar Mass of C
0.26 / 12.011 = 0.0216 mols of C
Atoms calculated = Moles * Avogadro's number (6.022*10^23)
0.0216 * 6.022*10^23 yields 1.3*10^22 C atoms

Hope this information is useful!:)

$\boxed{ \ 1,3 \times 10^{22} \ carbon \ atoms \ }$

Further explanation

Diamonds are entirely composed of elemental carbon, structured into crystal forms due to immense pressure and temperature deep within the Earth's mantle. The chemical symbol for carbon is C.

Step-1: convert carats to grams

A carat is a weight unit used for diamonds and other gemstones. It is generally accepted that 1 carat equals 0.2 grams of carbon atoms.

Translating 1.3 carats into grams of carbon atoms:

$\boxed{ \ 1.3-carat \times \frac{0.2 \ grams}{1 \ carat} = 0.26 \ grams \ }$

Thus, a 1.3-carat diamond corresponds to 0.26 grams of carbon atoms.

Step-2: convert grams to moles

The atomic weight of carbon, as per the periodic table, is 12 g/mol. The equation linking moles, grams, and atomic weight is:

$\boxed{ \ moles = \frac{grams}{atomic \ mass}}$

Transforming 0.26 grams into moles:

$\boxed{ \ moles = \frac{0.26 \ grams}{12 \ g/mol}}$

This results in 0.0217 moles of carbon atoms.

Final step: convert moles to atoms

The correlation between moles, atom count (N), and Avogadro's constant is represented as follows:

$\boxed{\ moles = \frac{N}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \rightarrow N = moles \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ }$

$N = 0.0217 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}$

Adjusting to two decimal points gives $0.13 \times 10^{23}$ and expressed in scientific notation becomes $\boxed{\ 1.3 \times 10^{22} \ carbon \ atoms}$

This indicates that there are $\boxed{\ 1.3 \times 10^{22} \ carbon \ atoms}$ atoms present in a 1.3-carat diamond.

Quick method

$\boxed{\ \frac{N}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} = \frac{grams}{atomic \ mass} \ }$

Rearranging it

$\boxed{\ N = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times \frac{grams}{atomic \ mass} \ }$

$N = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times \frac{1.3 \times 0.2}{12} \ }$

$\boxed{\ N = 1.3 \times 10^{22} \ carbon \ atoms}$

A specific amount of energy is emitted when excited electrons in an atom in a sample of an element return to the ground state.Th

castortr0y [3046]

The answer is C. The specific amount of energy released when excited electrons fall back to the ground state produces an emission spectrum. That energy is emitted as photons with precise wavelengths corresponding to the energy differences between levels. Because each element yields a characteristic set of wavelengths, the emission spectrum can be used to identify the element in the sample.

Determine the percent yield for the reaction

Alekssandra [3086]

Answer:

The percent yield of Br₂ in this reaction amounts to 96.15%

Explanation:

The reaction's balanced stoichiometric equation is:

2 NaBr + 1 Cl₂ → 2 NaCl + 1 Br₂

To calculate the percent yield:

Percent yield = 100% × (Actual yield)/(Theoretical yield)

To determine the theoretical yield:

5.29 g of NaBr reacts with an excess of chlorine; therefore, NaBr is the limiting reagent, controlling the possible yield of products.

We convert 5.29 g of NaBr to moles.

Number of moles = (Mass)/(Molar mass)

Molar Mass of NaBr = 102.894 g/mol

Number of moles = (5.29/102.894) = 0.0514121329 = 0.05141 mole

According to the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaBr yield 1 mole of Br₂

Thus, 0.05141 mole of NaBr will produce (0.05141×1/2) mole of Br₂, which is 0.0257 mole of Br₂

Theoretical yield = Expected mass of Br₂ from the reaction

= (Number of moles) × (Molar mass)

Molar mass of Br₂ = 159.808 g/mol

Theoretical yield of Br₂ = 0.0257 × 159.808 = 4.108 g

Calculating the percent yield:

Percent yield = 100% × (Actual yield)/(Theoretical yield)

Actual yield = 3.95 g

Theoretical yield = 4.108 g

Percent yield = 100% × (3.95/4.108) = 96.15%

Hope this is helpful!!!

You want to prepare a solution with a concentration of 200.0μM from a stock solution with a concentration of 500.0mM. At your di

lorasvet [2795]

Answer:

1) This dilution plan will yield a 200μM solution.

2) This dilution plan will not yield a 200μM solution.

3) This dilution plan will not yield a 200μM solution.

4) This dilution plan will yield a 200μM solution.

5) This dilution plan will yield a 200μM solution.

Explanation:

Convert the initial molarity into molar form as shown.

$500mM = 500mM \times (\frac{1M}{1000M})= 0.5M$

Let's examine the following serial dilution processes.

Dilute 5.00 mL of the stock solution to 500 mL. Then take 10.00 mL of this new solution and dilute it further to 250 mL.

Concentration of 500 mL solution:

$M_{2}= \frac{M_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}= \frac{(0.5M)(5.00mL)}{500 mL}= 5 \times 10^{-3}M$

10 mL of this solution is further diluted to 250 mL

$M_{final}= \frac{M_{2}V_{2}}{V_{final}}= \frac{(5 \times 10^{-3}M)(10.0mL)}{250 mL}= 2 \times 10^{-4}M$

Convert μM:

$2 \times 10^{-4}M = (2 \times 10^{-4}M)(\frac{1 \mu M}{10^{-6}M})= 200 \mu M$

Thus, this dilution scheme will yield a 200μM solution.

Dilute 5.00 mL of the stock solution to 100 mL. Then take 10.00 mL of this new solution and dilute to 1000 mL.

Concentration of 100 mL solution:

$M_{2}= \frac{M_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}= \frac{(0.5M)(5.00mL)}{100 mL}= 2.5 \times 10^{-2}M$

10 mL of this solution is further diluted to 1000 mL

$M_{final}= \frac{M_{2}V_{2}}{V_{final}}= \frac{(2.5 \times 10^{-2}M)(10.0mL)}{1000 mL}= 2.5 \times 10^{-4}M$

Convert μM:

$2.5 \times 10^{-4}M = (2.5 \times 10^{-4}M)(\frac{1 \mu M}{10^{-6}M})= 250 \mu M$

Thus, this dilution scheme will not yield a 200μM solution.

Dilute 10.00 mL of the stock solution to 100 mL, followed by diluting 5 mL of that new solution to 100 mL.

Concentration of 100 mL solution:

$M_{2}= \frac{M_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}= \frac{(0.5M)(10mL)}{100 mL}= 0.05M$

5 mL of this solution is diluted to 1000 mL

$M_{final}= \frac{M_{2}V_{2}}{V_{final}}= \frac{(0.05M)(5mL)}{1000 mL}= 0.25 \times 10^{-4}M$

Convert μM:

$0.25 \times 10^{-4}M = (0.25 \times 10^{-4}M)(\frac{1 \mu M}{10^{-6}M})= 25 \mu M$

Thus, this dilution scheme will not yield a 200μM solution.

Dilute 5 mL of the stock solution to 250 mL. Then take 10 mL of this new solution and further dilute it to 500 mL.

Concentration of 250 mL solution:

$M_{2}= \frac{M_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}= \frac{(0.5M)(5mL)}{250 mL}= 0.01M$

10 mL of this solution is further diluted to 500 mL

$M_{final}= \frac{M_{2}V_{2}}{V_{final}}= \frac{(0.01M)(10mL)}{500 mL}= 2 \times 10^{-4}M$

Convert μM:

$2 \times 10^{-4}M = (2 \times 10^{-4}M)(\frac{1 \mu M}{10^{-6}M})= 200 \mu M$

Thus, this dilution scheme will yield a 200μM solution.

Dilute 10 mL of the stock solution to 250 mL. Then take another 10 mL of this new solution and dilute it to 1000 mL.

Concentration of 250 mL solution:

$M_{2}= \frac{M_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}= \frac{(0.5M)(10mL)}{250 mL}= 0.02M$

10 mL of this solution is further diluted to 1000 mL

$M_{final}= \frac{M_{2}V_{2}}{V_{final}}= \frac{(0.02M)(10mL)}{1000 mL}= 2 \times 10^{-4}M$

Convert μM:

$2 \times 10^{-4}M = (2 \times 10^{-4}M)(\frac{1 \mu M}{10^{-6}M})= 200 \mu M$

Thus, this dilution scheme will yield a 200μM solution.
