How is atomic number different from mass number?

1 answer:

7 0

Hello Gary My Man!

Well, as you can clearly see

The atomic number of an element is basically the number of protons it has. So yes, for every element this is different. Now, the mass number of an element as known, is the number of protons+the number of neutrons. So theoretically as we can see, this number should be a whole number, but since there are different isotopes (atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons) of each element, most periodic tables take account of that, so they often include decimals as seen.

So in Short, ALL the atoms of a particular element have the SAME EXACT atomic number (number of protons of course). The atoms of different elements have very different numbers of protons. And of course, the MASS number of an atom is the TOTAL number as known, of protons and of course, the neutrons it contains in it.

I Hope my answer has come to your Help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead! :)

What is the empirical formula for propene C3H6

USPshnik [31]

The empirical formula is the simplest formula attainable while maintaining the ratio so it will be CH2.

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplistic positive integer ratio of atoms being in a compound. A simple example of this thought is that the empirical formula of sulfur monoxide, or SO, would simply be SO, as is the empirical formula of disulfur dioxide, S2O2.

Identify the intermolecular attractions for dimethyl ether and for ethyl alcohol. Which molecule is expected to be more soluble

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

All molecules possess the London dispersion forces. However London dispersion forces is the only kind of intermolecular interaction that exists in nonpolar substances.

So, the only kind of intermolecular interaction that exists in dimethyl ether is London dispersion forces.

As for ethyl alcohol, the molecule is polar due to the presence of polar O-H bond. In addition to London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions and specifically hydrogen bonding also occurs between the molecules.

Because ethyl alcohol is polar, it is more soluble in water than dimethyl ether.

If 12.5 grams of strontium hydroxide is reacted with 150 mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid, identify the limiting reactant.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Sr(OH)2

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of carbonic acid in 150mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid solution. This is illustrated below:

Molarity = 3.5M

Volume = 150mL = 150/1000 = 0.15L

Mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 =..?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 = 3.5 x 0.15 = 0.525 mole.

Next, we shall convert 0.525 mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 to grams.

Mole of H2CO3 = 0.525 mole

Molar mass of H2CO3 = (2x1) + 12 + (16x3) = 62g/mol.

Mass of H2CO3 =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of H2CO3 = 0.525 x 62 = 32.55g

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

Sr(OH)2 + H2CO3 → SrCO3 + 2H2O

Next, we shall determine the mass of Sr(OH)2 and H2CO3 that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Sr(OH)2 = 88 + 2(16 + 1) = 88 + 2(17) = 122g/mol

Mass of Sr(OH)2 from the balanced equation = 1 x 122 = 122g

Molar mass of H2CO3 = (2x1) + 12 + (16x3) = 62g/mol.

Mass of H2CO3 from the balanced equation = 1 x 62 = 62g.

From the balanced equation above, 122g of Sr(OH)2 reacted with 62g of H2CO3.

Finally, we shall determine the limiting reactant as follow:

From the balanced equation above, 122g of Sr(OH)2 reacted with 62g of H2CO3.

Therefore, 12.5g of Sr(OH)2 will react with = (12.5 x 62)/122 = 6.35g.

We can see evidently from the calculations made above that it will take 6.35g out 32.55g of H2CO3 to react with 12.5g of Sr(OH)2. Therefore, Sr(OH)2 is the limiting reactant and H2CO3 is the excess reactant

Antibiotics are a type of medicine that kills bacteria. Antibiotics can be used to fight bacterial infections. Which of the foll

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Antibiotics are strong medicines that treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics won't treat viral infections because they can't kill viruses. You'll get better when the viral infection has run its course. Common illnesses caused by bacteria are urinary tract infections, strep throat, and some pneumonia.

Explanation:

antibiotics can treat bacterial infections, such as:

Most sinus infections.

Strep throat.

Urinary tract infections.

Pneumonia.

Most ear infections (otitis media)

Nasty bacterial skin infections (impetigo)
