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.

To get moles. divide mass by molar mass.Molar mass of
Na is 23
and for Cl is 35.5.
the total molar mass of NaCl is 23+35.5 = 58.5mol/gUse the mass and divide by this number30.22g divide by 58.5mol/g and you will get 0.5166 mole.
Since the molecule has 1 Na to 1 Cl, and that the number of moles for NaCL is 0.5166. All of them would be 0.5166molesNa = 0.5166 x 1 = 0.5166molesCl = 0.5166 x 1 = 0.5166moles
to get number of atoms. Multiply your mole by Avogadro number which is 6.022x10^23Na = 0.5166 x 6.022E23 = 3.111x10^23Cl =  0.5166 x 6.022E23 = 3.111x10^23

CO_2 sublimes readily at 25°C. Which properties are usually associated with a compound that undergoes this kind of change?
antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Sublimation is defined as a process in which solid state of a substance directly changes into vapor or gaseous state without undergoing liquid phase.

For example, naphthalene balls show sublimation at room temperature.

As this process does not cause any change in chemical composition of a substance. Hence, it is known as a physical process.

Similarly, when CO_{2} sublimes readily at 25^{o}C. This shows change in physical state of carbon dioxide is taking place, i.e, from solid to gaseous phase.

Thus, we can conclude that when CO_{2} sublimes readily at 25^{o}C then it means physical properties are usually associated with a compound that undergoes this kind of change.
