Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom in amu, or atomic mass units. Atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes

hope this helps :)

Atomic mass is also known as atomic weight. The mass number is a count of the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.

When one atom of carbon reacts with two atoms of oxygen, they combine to form one molecule of carbon dioxide. How many atoms of
tankabanditka [31]

The equation is: C+O2=>CO2

Since we got 10 molecules of CO2 new balanced equation would be 10C+10O2=>10CO2

from this equation we can see that we have 10 molecules of oxygen, however ,we need to find atoms. There are 2 atoms in the oxygen molecule so we need to multiply 10 by 2 which gives us 20 atoms.

The answer: there are 20 atoms of oxygen

Which element is oxidized in the reaction below? fe(co)5 (l) + 2hi (g) fe(co)4i2 (s) + co (g) + h2 (g)?
DanielleElmas [232]
Oxidation state of I is (-1) and for CO it is zero. Let's assume that the oxidation state of Fe in Fe(CO)₄I₂<span> (s) is x. For whole compound, the charge is zero.

Sum of oxidation numbers in all elements = Charge of the compound.

Here we have 1Fe , 4CO and 2I
hence we can find the oxidation state as;
 x + 4*0 + 2*(-1) = 0
 x + 0 - 2            = 0
                   x     = +2
Hence the oxidation state of Fe in product </span>Fe(CO)₄I₂ (s) is +2.

Same as we can find the oxidation state (y) of Fe in Fe(CO)₅(s).
y + 5*0 = 0
   y        = 0

Since oxidation state of Fe increased from 0 to +2, the oxidized element is Fe in the given reaction.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

8L of CO2

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

2C2H2 + 5O2 —> 4CO2 + 2H2O

From the equation above,

5L of O2 produced 4L of CO2.

Therefore, 10L of O2 will produce = (10 x 4)/5 = 8L of CO2

Therefore, 8L of CO2 is produce
