Helium is the lightest noble gas and the second most abundant element (after hydrogen) in the universe. The mass of a helium−4 a

tom is 6.64648 × 10−24g, and each of its two electrons has a mass of 9.10939 × 10−28g. What fraction of this atom's mass is contributed by its nucleus?

<u>Answer:</u> The fraction of atom's mass contributed by nucleus is 0.99

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nucleons are defined as the sub-atomic particles which are present in the nucleus of an atom. Nucleons are protons and neutrons.

The isotopic symbol of Helium-4 atom is _2^4\textrm{He}

Number of electrons = 2

Number of protons = 2

Number of neutrons = 4 - 2 = 2

We are given:

Mass of He-4 atom = 6.64648\times 10^{-24}g

Mass of 1 electron = 9.10939\times 10^{-28}g

Calculating the mass contributed by the nucleus = m_{He}-2(m_e)

Mass of the nucleus of He-4 atom = 6.64648\times 10^{-24}-(2\times (9.10939\times 10^{-28}))=(6.64648-0.0018219)\times 10^{-24}=6.64466\times 10^{-24}

To calculate the fraction of atom's mass contributed by the nucleus, we use the equation:

\text{Fraction of atom's mass contributed by nucleus}=\frac{\text{Mass of nucleus}}{\text{Mass of atom}}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Fraction of atom's mass contributed by nucleus}=\frac{6.64466\times 10^{-24}g}{6.64648\times 10^{-24}g}=0.99

Hence, the fraction of atom's mass contributed by nucleus is 0.99

What value must be known if the accuracy of an experiment is to be determined​
andrezito [222]

To evaluate the accuracy of a measurement, the measured value must be compared to the correct value. To evaluate the precision of a measurement, you must compare the values of two or more repeated measurements.

The products
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The products  of self-ionization of water are OH⁻ and H⁺.

Explanation:

  • The water is self ionized according to the equation:

<em>H₂O → OH⁻ + H⁺. </em>

<em></em>

The ionic product for water (Kw) = [OH⁻][H⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴.

Kw is also called "self-ionization constant" or "auto-ionization constant".
