Explanation:
Molar mass
The mass present in one mole of a specific species .
The molar mass of a compound , can easily be calculated as the sum of the all the individual atom multiplied by the number of total atoms .
(a) S₈
Molar mass of of the atoms are -
sulfur, S = 32 g/mol.
Molar mass of S₈ = 8 * 32 g/mol. = 256 g/mol.
(b) C₂H₁₂
Molar mass of of the atoms are -
Hydrogen , H = 1 g/mol
Carbon , C = 12 g/mol
Molar mass of C₂H₁₂ = ( 2 * 12 ) + (12 * 1 ) = 36 g /mol
(c) Sc₂(SO₄)₃
Molar mass of of the atoms are -
sulfur, S = 32 g/mol.
oxygen , O = 16 g/mol.
scandium , Sc = 45 g/mol.
Molar mass of Sc₂(SO₄)₃ = (2 * 45 ) + ( 3 *32 ) + ( 12 * 16 ) = 378 g /mol
(d) CH₃COCH₃ (acetone)
Molar mass of of the atoms are -
Carbon , C = 12 g/mol
oxygen , O = 16 g/mol.
Hydrogen , H = 1 g/mol
Molar mass of CH₃COCH₃ (acetone) = (3 * 12 ) + ( 1 * 16 ) + ( 6 * 1 ) = 58g/mol
(e) C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose)
Molar mass of of the atoms are -
Carbon , C = 12 g/mol
oxygen , O = 16 g/mol.
Hydrogen , H = 1 g/mol
Molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) = ( 6 * 12 ) + ( 12 * 1 ) + ( 6 * 16 ) = 108g/mol.
The answer is; C
The radioisotopes in the interior of the earth are not in pure form and have many embedded impurities and are interspersed. Therefore when a neutron is released by a decaying atom, its chances of hitting another radioisotope atom (to continue the chain reaction) are lower than in a manmade nuclear reactor. This way, the radioactive chain reaction in the earth’s interior is not well sustained.
