Moles

AI Thread Summary

To calculate the number of molecules in 23 moles of oxygen, use Avogadro's number, which states that 1 mole equals 6.022 x 10^23 molecules. Therefore, multiplying 23 moles by Avogadro's number results in approximately 1.384 x 10^24 molecules of oxygen. The user expresses confusion about this calculation compared to other mole conversions, indicating a need for clarification. Understanding the mole-to-molecule conversion is essential for accurate chemical calculations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of Avogadro's number in determining the number of molecules in a given amount of substance.

How many molecules are in 23 moles of oxygen?

I don't get it, I know how to do other kinds like How many moles are there in 25 grams of water? and How many grams are in 4.5 moles of Li20? but I don't get it.

THANK YOU in advance

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
