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.

This is because protons and neutrons are heavier than electrons as opposed to where electrons occupy most of an atoms volume

Battery acid has a density of 1.285 g/mL and contains 38.0% sulfuric acid by mass. The car battery contains 1.45 L of battery ac
larisa86 [58]

Answer: 708.2 grams

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.

Given : 38 g of H_2SO_4 is dissolved in 100 g of solution.

Density of solution = 1.285 g/ml

Volume of solution = \frac{mass}{density}=\frac{100g}{1.285g/ml}=77.8ml

Thus if 77.8 ml of H_2SO_4 contains = 38 g of H_2SO_4

1.45L= 1450 ml of H_2SO_4 contains = \frac{38}{77.8}\times 1450=708.2 g of H_2SO_4

Therefore, the mass of the sulfuric acid in a car battery is 708.2 g
