Chapter 6, Problem 6.135CHP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the given reaction, the atom X has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Number of moles:

One mole is the equal to number of atoms in $\text{12g}$ of carbon $\text{-12}$ which is equal to $\text{6}{\text{.023×10}}^{\text{23}}$ atoms. This is also known as Avogadro number.

Number of moles can be calculated as:

Number of moles = $\frac{\text{given}\text{mass of the element}}{\text{atomic}\text{mass}\text{of}\text{element}}$

Number of grams = $\text{number of moles}\text{×}\text{molecular}\text{mass}$ number of moles
