Characterize EACH of the three given statements as being TRUE or FALSE and then indicate the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices: (1) In balancing an equation, formula subscripts are adjusted as needed to obtain the balance.
(2) 1.00 mole of C contains the same number of atoms as does 12.0 g of C.
(3) Both a microscopic and macroscopic levels of interpretation exist for a chemical formula with the former involving atoms and the latter involving molecules.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1) False - In balancing equations, coefficients are adjusted, not formula subscripts. 2) True - 1.00 mole of any element, including carbon, contains Avogadro's number of atoms, which is the same number of atoms as 12.0 g of carbon (its molar mass). 3) False - The microscopic level involves atoms and molecules, while the macroscopic level involves quantities that can be directly measured, not a distinction between atoms and molecules in the way described.
