A. The mass of one mole of the virus is calculated by multiplying the mass of a single virus by the Avogadro's number which is equal to 6.022 x 10^23. Performing this operation,
mass = (9.0 x 10^-12 mg)(6.022 x 10^23) = 5.42 x 10^12 mg
In correct number of significant figures, the answer would only have to be 5.4 x 10^12 mg.
b. The number of moles of the virus that will have the same mass as the oil tanker is calculated by dividing the mass of the oil tanker by the mass of one mole of the virus. Note that doing division, both would have to have the same units.
n = (3.0 x 10^7 kg) / (5.4 x 10^12 mg)(1 g/1000 mg)(1 kg/1000 g)
Simplifying,
n = 6
In correct number of significant figures, the answer is 6.0.
Answer: Mothballs have weak intermolecular forces.
No all substances do not behave like mothballs at normal conditions. Example: benzene , chloroform
Explanation:
Sublimation is a process of converting a substance from solid state to gaseous state without the formation of liquid at constant temperature.
A substance which undergoes sublimation is called as sublimating substance.
As mothballs is made of napthalene which has weak inter molecular forces of attraction between its molecules, it directly sublimes into gaseous state without leaving any residue and is called as a sublimating substance.
Not all substances behave like mothballs at normal conditions. Example: benzene , chloroform
It is actually something standardized more so than theoretical, however in terms of atoms in general the electrons are based on the amount of electronic shells that an atom has and the amount of electrons that atom can accommodate. In the case of sodium, it has three shells with 2 electrons on the first shell which is the maximum, 8 on the second shell which is also the max and 1 on their final shell
So simply put an ATOM of Sodium (Na) has 23 electrons because it has 23 protons which is a fact

Answer : Option C) The Octet Rule
Explanation : Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer energy level. This is known as Octet Rule.
The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb which reflects the observation, that atoms of main-group elements tends to combine in such a way that each atom gets eight electrons in its valence shell, which gives it the same electron configuration as that of a noble gas.
In short, the tendency of an atom to fill its valence shell and attain a stable state it acquires or donates the electron is called as octet rule.
Answer:
Explanation:
Salicylic Acid:
Salicylic Acid is an hydroxy acid that is found as a natural compound in plants. It's IUPAC name is 2-hydroxybenzoic acid. Salicylic acid has an odorless white to light tan solid color. It sinks and mixes very slow with water.
Acid: An acid is a substance that produce hydrogen ion or proton when dissolved in water
Base: A base is a substance that will neutralize an acid to yield salt and water
Conjugate Base: This is a substance formed when an acid loses an hydrogen ion or proton when it dissolved in water.
Conjugate Acid: This is a substance formed when a base accept a proton from from any acid, when it dissolved in water.
Reaction between salicylic acid and potassium hydroxide
HOC₆H₄COOH(aq) + KOH(aq) ⇄ HOC₆H₄COOK(aq) + H₂O(l)
Acid ⇒ HOC₆H₄COOH (salicylic acid)
Base ⇒ KOH (potassium hydroxide)
Conjugate acid ⇒ H₂O (water)
conjugate base ⇒ HOC₆H₄COOK ( 2-hydroxypotasium benzoate)
