What information does the atomic mass of an element provide

Chemistry
1 answer:
RSB [31]4 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u> The atomic mass tells us about the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 3 subatomic particles present in an atom. They are: protons, electrons and neutrons.

  • <u>Protons:</u> They carry positive charger and are found in nucleus.
  • <u>Electrons:</u> They carry negative charge and are found around the nucleus.
  • <u>Neutrons:</u> They dos not carry any charge and are found in nucleus.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom. It is represented by the symbol 'Z'

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Atomic mass is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.  It is represented by the symbol 'A'

Atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Hence, the atomic mass tells us about the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.

In the first law of thermodynamics, △E = Q-w, what does △E stand for?
Damm [24]

<u>Answer: </u>The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

First law of thermodynamics states that the energy can neither be destroyed not be formed but it can only be transformed from one form to another.

Here, the internal energy of the system is being transformed to the heat energy and the work done by the system. The equation used to represent first law of thermodynamic is:

\Delta E=Q-w

where,

\Delta E represents the internal energy of the system.

Q = heat released or absorbed by the system.

w = work done by or on the system.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

Choose the aqueous solution that has the highest boiling point. These are all solutions of nonvolatile solutes and you should as
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

0.100 M AlCl₃

Explanation:

The variation of boiling point by the addition of a nonvolatile solute is called ebullioscopy, and the temperature variation is calculated by:

ΔT = W.i

Where W = nsolute/msolvent, and i is the Van't Hoff factor. Because all the substances have the same molarity, n is equal for all of them.

i = final particles/initial particles

C₆H₁₂O₆ don't dissociate, so final particles = initial particles => i = 1;

AlCl₃ dissociates at Al⁺³ and 3Cl⁻, so has 4 final particles and 1 initial particle, i = 4/1 = 4;

NaCl dissociates at Na⁺ and Cl⁻ so has 2 final particles and 1 initial particle, i = 2/1 = 2;

MgCl₂ dissociates at Mg⁺² and 2Cl⁻, so has 3 final particles and 1 initial particle, i = 3/1 = 3.

So, the solution with AlCl₃ will have the highest ΔT, and because of that the highest boiling point.

What were the limitation of debereiner's law of traid​
jok3333 [9.3K]
Dobereiner could find only three triads; . i.e total of 9 elements only. However the total number of elements were more than that of those encompassed in Dobereiner's Triad. Thus, Dobereiner's could not be classify most of the elements known at that time
