AI Thread Summary
A mole is a unit of measurement in chemistry that represents a specific quantity, similar to a dozen. One mole of any substance, including lead (Pb), contains approximately 6.022 x 10^23 atoms, known as Avogadro's number. This means that one mole of lead contains 6.022 x 10^23 lead atoms. The analogy of a dozen eggs is used to clarify that a mole refers to a count of particles, not molecules. Understanding this concept is essential for calculating the number of atoms in a mole of any element.

How many atoms are in one mole of the element Lead(Pb)

What does it mean to have a mole of something?
 
I believe it means to have one molecule of a specific element. correct me if i am wrong
 
You're wrong. Look up the definition of a mole.
 
a mole is similar to the term dozen, were as if I have one dozen eggs I have 12 eggs in all; where the atom is like the egg. so thus if I have x=mole and i desire to find the atoms i will take x(6.022*10^23)=atoms. correct?
 

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'

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...
