Q1. a) The answer is 0.1783 moles.

Atomic mass (Ar) of gold is 196.97 g. A mole (M) is an atomic or molar mass in 1000 ml:

Au: 1M = 196.97g/1000ml ⇒ 1000 ml = 196.97g/1M

A sample of gold: xM = 35.12g/1000ml ⇒ 1000 ml = 35.12g/x

1000 ml = 196.97g/1M = 35.12g/x

⇒ 196.97g/1M = 35.12g/x

x = 35.12g / 196.97g * 1M = 0.1783M

Q1. b) The answer is 1.073 * 10²³ atoms.

To calculate this, we will use Avogadro's number which is the number of units (atoms, molecules) in 1 mole of substance: 6.02 * 10²³ units per 1 mole

From the previous task, we know that the sample of gold has 0.1783 moles.

Now, let's make a proportion:

6.02 * 10²³atoms : 1M = x : 0.1783 M

After crossing the products:

x = 6.02 * 10²³atoms * 0.1783 M / 1M = 1.073 * 10²³ atoms

Q2. a) The answer is 0.0035 moles.

Let's first calculate molar mass (Mr) of sucrose which is a sum of atomic masses (Ar) of elements:

Mr (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) = 12Ar (C) + 22Ar (H) + 11Ar (O) = 12*12 + 22*1 + 11*16 =

= 144 + 22 + 176 = 342 g

A mole (M) is an atomic or molar mass in 1000 ml:

Sucrose: 1M = 342g/1000ml ⇒ 1000 ml = 342g/1M

A sample of sucrose: xM = 1.202g/1000ml ⇒ 1000 ml = 1.202g/x

1000 ml = 342g/1M = 1.202g/x

⇒ 342g/1M = 1.202g/x

x = 1.202g / 342g * 1M = 0.0035 M

Q2. b) The answers are:

- carbon: 0.042 moles

- hydrogen: 0.077 moles

- oxygen: 0.0385 moles

In a sample of sucrose of 0.0035 M, there are 12 atoms of carbon:

12 * 0.0035M = 0.042 M

In a sample of sucrose of 0.0035 M, there are 22 atoms of hydrogen:

22 * 0.0035M = 0.077 M

In a sample of sucrose of 0.0035 M, there are 11 atoms of oxygen:

11 * 0.0035M = 0.0385 M

Q2. c) The answers are:

- carbon: 2.5 * 10²⁴ atoms

- hydrogen: 4.6 * 10²⁴ atoms

- oxygen: 2.3 * 10²⁴ atoms

To calculate this, we will use Avogadro's number which is the number of units (atoms, molecules) in 1 mole of substance: 6.02 * 10²³ units per 1 mole

- carbon: 0.042 moles (from the previous task)

Now, let's make a proportion:

6.02 * 10²³atoms : 1M = x : 0.042 M

After crossing the products:

x = 6.02 * 10²³atoms * 0.042 M / 1M = 0.25 * 10²³ atoms = 2.5 * 10²⁴ atoms

- hydrogen: 0.077 moles (from the previous task)

Now, let's make a proportion:

6.02 * 10²³atoms : 1M = x : 0.077 M

After crossing the products:

x = 6.02 * 10²³atoms * 0.077 M / 1M = 0.46 * 10²³ atoms = 4.6 * 10²⁴ atoms

- oxygen: 0.0385 moles (from the previous task)

Now, let's make a proportion:

6.02 * 10²³atoms : 1M = x : 0.0385 M

After crossing the products:

x = 6.02 * 10²³atoms * 0.0385 M / 1M = 0.23 * 10²³ atoms = 2.3 * 10²⁴ atoms
