Why is most of the mass of an atom in the nucleus

Chemistry

Answer:

The nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom's volume. The diameter of an atom is on the order of 10−10 m, whereas the diameter of the nucleus is roughly 10−15 m—about 100,000 times smaller.

A compound is found to contain 43.66% of P and 56.33% of O.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: P2O5 is the empirical formula.

Explanation: When given percentages you can assume that many grams of each atom are in the compound. Then you divide grams by the molar mass of each element, giving you moles. Once you have moles, divide by the smaller molar amount, which should give you 1 mol of Phosphorus and 2.5 mol of Oxygen. Then multiply by 2 in order for both moles to be a whole number. This gets you 2 and 5.

Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/cm3. what would be the mass of a sample whose volume is 10.0 cm3?
anastassius [24]
Hey there!

Density = 2.70 g/cm³

Volume = 10.0 cm³

Therefore:

Mass = density *  volume

Mass = 2.70 * 10.0

Mass = 27.0 g
