If 2.06 ml of seawater contains about 0.446 moles of gold, how many atoms of gold are in that volume of seawater?

2.69 x 10²³ atoms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of sea water = 2.06mL

number of moles of gold = 0.446moles

unknown:

Number of atoms in the sea water

Solution:

The mole is a convenient unit of measuring quantities of particles. In a mole we have 6.02 x 10²³particles.

The mole can be defined as the amount of a substance contained in Avogadro's number of particles which is 6.02 x 10²³particles.

Here, the particles we want to determine is the number of atoms:

Number of atoms is given as:

   Number of gold atoms = number of moles of gold x 6.02 x 10²³

  Number of gold atoms = 0.446 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 2.69 x 10²³ atoms

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
