What is the mass of 8.98 x 10^24 particles of CaCl2?

1656.12grams

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of a substance in a particle, we need to calculate the number of moles (n).

n = nA × 6.02 × 10^23

nA = 8.98 x 10^24 particles

number of moles = 8.98 x 10^24 ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

n = 8.98/6.02 × 10^ (24 - 23)

n = 1.492 × 10^1

n = 14.92moles of CaCl2

Molar Mass of CaCl2 where Ca = 40g/mol, Cl = 35.5g/mol

CaCl2 = 40 + 35.5(2)

= 40 + 71

= 111g/mol

Using mole = mass/molar mass

mass = molar mass × mole

mass = 111 × 14.92

mass = 1656.12grams.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
