Why is the mass of the third subatomic particle ignored?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: The mass of electrons is mostly ignored because electrons are extremely small compared to neutrons and protons.

Explanation: A proton is about 1,836 times the size of an electron.

On the periodic table, the atomic number for each element can be found. This number is found by measuring the weight of 6.02 x 10^23 atoms of the element in grams. Electrons aren't ignored when finding exact math, but for the sake of simplification high school teachers will generally have you only count the number of protons and neutrons when calculating the mass of atoms.

What volume of 0.350 m koh is required to react completely with 24.0 ml of 0.650 m h3po4?

BartSMP [9]

The complete balanced chemical equation for this is:

First we calculate the number of moles of H3PO4:

moles H3PO4 = 0.650 moles / L * 0.024 L = 0.0156 mol

From stoichiometry, 3 moles of KOH is required for every mole of H3PO4, therefore:

moles KOH = 0.0156 mol H3PO4 * (3 moles KOH / 1 mole H3PO4) = 0.0468 mol

Calculating for volume given molarity of 0.350 M KOH:

Volume = 0.0468 mol / (0.350 mol / L) = 0.1337 L = 133.7 mL
