| How many times are there more oxygen atoms in the grain crust than silicon atoms, if their content by mass is 49.5% and 25.7%, respectively?
Given:
ω (O) = 49.5%
ω (Si) = 25.7%
To find:
N (O)? N (Si)
Decision:
1) Let m sample = 100 g;
2) m (O) = ω (O) * m sample / 100% = 49.5% * 100/100% = 49.5 g;
3) n (O) = m (O) / M (O) = 49.5 / 16 = 3.094 mol;
4) N (O) = n (O) * NA = 3.094 * 6.02 * 10 ^ 23 = 18.626 * 10 ^ 23;
5) m (Si) = ω (Si) * m sample / 100% = 25.7% * 100/100% = 25.7 g;
6) n (Si) = m (Si) / M (Si) = 25.7 / 28 = 0.918 mol;
7) N (Si) = n (Si) * NA = 0.918 * 6.02 * 10 ^ 23 = 5.526 * 10 ^ 23;
8) N (O) / N (Si) = 18.626 * 10 ^ 23 / 5.526 * 10 ^ 23 = 3.37.
Answer: The number of O atoms is 3.37 times more than Si.
