Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The moles of carbon present in given amount of pure diamond are to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Mole is the unit of the amount of a substance. It relates the number of particles to molar mass.
One mole of a substance contains
It also relates to the molar mass of a substance in grams. The weight of one mole of a substance is equivalent to its molar mass in grams.
To sum up, 1 mole of a substance contains

- How many Ag atoms are present in a piece of pure silver jewelry weighing 21.3 g?arrow_forwardDuring nuclear decay a 238U atom can break apart into a helium-4 atom and one other atom. Assuming that no subatomic particles are destroyed during this decay process, what is the other element produced?arrow_forward2.86 For some uses, the relative abundance of isotopes must be manipulated. For example, a medical technique called boron neutron capture therapy needs a higher fraction of 10B than occurs naturally to achieve its best efficiency. What would happen to the atomic weight of a sample of boron that had been enriched in 10B? Explain your answer in terms of the concept of a weighted average.arrow_forward
- Argon has three naturally occurring isotopes: 0.3336% 36Ar, 0.063% 38Ar, and 99.60% 40Ar. Estimate the average atomic mass of argon. If the masses of the isotopes are 35.968 u, 37.963 u, and 39.962 u, respectively, calculate the average atomic mass of natural argon.arrow_forwardDefine the term atomic weight. Why might the values of atomic weights on a planet elsewhere in the universe be different from those on earth?arrow_forward2.19 Naturally occurring uranium consists of two isotopes, whose masses and abundances are shown below: Only 235U can be used as fuel in a nuclear reactor, so uramium for use in the nuclear industry must be enriched in this isotope. If a sample of enriched uranium has an atomic weight of 235.684 amu, what percentage of 235LT is present?arrow_forward
- Define mass number. What is the difference between mass number and atomic mass?arrow_forwardA sample of an alloy of aluminum contains 0.0898 mol Al and 0.0381 mol Mg. What are the mass percentages of Al and Mg in the alloy?arrow_forwardIf the volume of a proton is similar to the volume of an electron, how will the densities of these two particles compare to each other?arrow_forward
- The atomic mass of boron (B) is given in the periodic table as 10.81, yet no single atom of boron has a mass of 10.81 u. Explain.arrow_forwardCalculate the mass, in grams, of each the following: (a) 2.5 mol of aluminum (b) 1.25 103 mol of iron (c) 0.015 mol of calcium (d) 653 mol of neonarrow_forward
