(d) \( 12\times10^{21} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( 12\times10^{23} \)

Explanation:
1. Molar mass of CH4 = 16 g, so 3.2 g is 0.2 mol.
2. One CH4 molecule has 6 + 4 = 10 electrons, so 0.2 mol has 2 mol of electrons.
3. \( 2\times6.02\times10^{23}\approx12\times10^{23} \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Count electrons in one molecule first.

(c) 27 g of Al (atomic mass 27)
(d) 108 g of Ag (atomic mass 108)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 24 g of C (atomic mass 12)

Explanation:
1. Moles of C = 24/12 = 2; Fe = 56/56 = 1; Al = 27/27 = 1; Ag = 108/108 = 1.
2. The number of atoms is proportional to moles, so 24 g of C has the most.

Teacher's Note:

Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( 21\times10^{20} \)

Explanation:
1. 7 mg = 0.007 g, which is 0.007/14 = 5 × 10^-4 mol of atoms.
2. Each N-14 atom has 14 − 7 = 7 neutrons.
3. \( 5\times10^{-4}\times7\times6.02\times10^{23}\approx2.1\times10^{21}=21\times10^{20} \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Neutrons per atom = mass number − atomic number.
2. Number of atoms = moles × Avogadro number.

Question 8: The total mass of neutrons in amu present in 7 mg of carbon-14 is:
(a) \( 24\times10^{20} \)
(b) \( 24\times10^{21} \)
(c) \( 24\times10^{22} \)
(d) \( 24\times10^{19} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( 24\times10^{20} \)

Explanation:
1. 7 mg = 0.007 g = 0.007/14 = 5 × 10^-4 mol of atoms.
2. Each C-14 atom has 14 − 6 = 8 neutrons.
3. Neutrons = 5×10^-4 × 8 × 6.02×10^23 ≈ 2.4×10^21, each of about 1 amu, so the mass is about 24×10^20 amu.

Teacher's Note:
1. Find the number of neutrons, then multiply by the mass of one neutron (1 amu).
2. Neutrons per atom = 14 − 6.

(a) 67.2 L
(b) 44.8 L
(c) 22.4 L
(d) 89.6 L
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 67.2 L
