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.

How to write a balanced chemical equation from empirical formula?

netineya [11]

Let's use the example: H2O ---> H2 + O2
We find how many elements of a product are on one side and how many elements on the other side.
Reactant: H=2 O=1
Product: H=2 O=2
We need to make the same amount of hydrogen and oxegyn atoms on each side, regardless of how high the numbers are, and we do this by adding coefficients to the compounds.

Reactant: H=4 O=2
Product : H=4 O=2
2 H2O---> 2 H2 + O2

A tank contains 90 kg of salt and 2000 L of water. Pure water enters a tank at the rate 6 L/min. The solution is mixed and drain

sashaice [31]

Answer:

a) 90 kg

b) 68.4 kg

c) 0 kg/L

Explanation:

Mass balance:

$-w=\frac{dm}{dt}$

w is the mass flow

m is the mass of salt

$-v*C=\frac{dm}{dt}$

v is the volume flow

C is the concentration

$C=\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}$

$-v*\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}$

$-3*L/min*\frac{m}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}$

$-3*L/min*\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{m}$

$-3*L/min*\int_{0}^{t}\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\int_{90kg}^{m}\frac{dm}{m}$

$-[ln(2000L+3*L/min*t)-ln(2000L)]=ln(m)-ln(90kg)$

$-ln[(2000L+3*L/min*t)/2000L]=ln(m/90kg)$

$m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*t)]$

a) Initially: t=0

$m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*0)]=90kg$

b) t=210 min (3.5 hr)

$m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*210min)]=68.4kg$

c) If time trends to infinity the division trends to 0 and, therefore, m trends to 0. So, the concentration at infinit time is 0 kg/L.

Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake

shepuryov [24]

Ocean water freezes just like freshwater, but at Lower temperature. Fresh water freezes At 32°F but see water freezes at about 28.4°F because of the salt in it it can be melted down to use as drinking water
