Final answer:
To find the grams of SiH4 containing 8.23 × 10^22 atoms of hydrogen, calculate the molar mass of SiH4 and use conversion factors to relate the number of hydrogen atoms to grams of SiH4.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the number of grams of SiH4 that contain 8.23 × 10^22 atoms of hydrogen, we need to use the molar mass and conversion factors.
1. Calculate the molar mass of SiH4 (silane) by summing the atomic masses of each element in the compound: 1.0079 g/mol for hydrogen and 28.0855 g/mol for silicon. The molar mass of SiH4 is 32.1074 g/mol.
2. Use the conversion factors to relate the number of hydrogen atoms to grams of SiH4. There are 4 hydrogen atoms in 1 molecule of SiH4. Therefore, we can set up the following proportion: (8.23 × 10^22 atoms of hydrogen) / (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol) = x grams of SiH4, where x is the unknown.
3. Solve for x by cross-multiplying and dividing: x = (32.1074 g/mol) * (8.23 × 10^22 atoms of hydrogen) / (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol).
Calculating this expression gives an answer of x = 0.4407 grams of SiH4.
