Explain why when an ion is formed, the mass of the atom does not change.

Chemistry

svetoff [14.1K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The mass of an atom is determined by the total number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus. The difference between an atom and an ion is the number of electrons. The change of electrons does not change the mass because electrons have a negligible mass. In other words, the mass of electrons is so small, it is considered insignificant.

Answer:

Mass of Na₂CrO₄ =  5.75 g

Explanation:

First of all we will write the balance chemical equation.

2AgNO₃ + Na₂CrO₄     →    Ag₂CrO₄  +  2NaNO₃

Now we will calculate the moles of AgNO₃.

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass of AgNO₃ = 107.87 + 14 + 3× 16 =  169.87 g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 12.1 g / 169.87 g/mol = 0.071 mol

Now we will compare the moles of AgNO₃ and  Na₂CrO₄ from balance chemical equation.

                        AgNO₃    :     Na₂CrO₄

                          2            :           1

                          0.071     :           1/2× 0.071 = 0.0355

Now we will calculate the mass of Na₂CrO₄.

Molar mass of Na₂CrO₄ = 23×2 + 52 + 16×4 = 162 g/mol

Mass of Na₂CrO₄ = number of moles  ×  molar mass

Mass of Na₂CrO₄ =  0.0355 mol ×  162 g/mol

Mass of Na₂CrO₄ =  5.75 g

A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 3.93 104 L at 0.995 atm and 32.0°C. After it is released, it r
user100 [1]

Answer: Thus the volume of the balloon at that new location is 4.65\times 10^4L

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 0.995 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 0.720 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 3.93\times 10^4L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 32.0^oC=273+32.0=305.0K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = -11.7^oC=273-11.7=261.3K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{0.995\times 3.93\times 10^4}{305.0}=\frac{0.720\times V_2}{261.3}

V_2=4.65\times 10^4L

Thus the volume of the balloon at that new location is 4.65\times 10^4L
