A person could count gold atoms as converting lead to gold. They counted very fast and counted 1000 gold atoms per second. They counted for 8 hours. In 8 hours how many ounces of gold did they have?
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
A person could count gold atoms as converting lead to gold. They counted very fast and counted 1000 gold atoms per second. They counted for 8 hours. In 8 hours how many ounces of gold did they have?
According to the question , number of gold atoms counted in 1 sec = 1000 gold atoms
so, number of gold atoms counted in 1 min i.e. 60 sec = 60 x 1000 gold atoms
number of gold atoms counted in 1 hour i.e. 60 min = 60 x 60 x 1000 gold atoms
and, number of gold atoms counted in 8 hour = 8 x 60 x 60 x 1000 gold atoms
= 2.88 x 107 gold atoms
