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.

A standard 10.00 g mass is weighed on an analytical balance 100 times. The average and standard deviation obtained gives 10.12 ±
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

There was an improvement in accuracy. There was no change in precision.

Explanation:

<em>The average mass after recalibration is closer to the mass of the standard, </em>so the recalibration improved the accuracy<em> </em>(the measurement is closer to an accepted 'true' value).

The standard deviation did not change, so the precision (or how disperse the measurements are) was not affected.

Name the 2 isomers of c7h16 that contain 2 methyl branches, each branch on a different carbon of the parent chain.
kupik [55]
There can be a lot of meanings for isomers. In this case, we are showing the structural isomers of C₇H₁₆. Based on the chemical formula, CₓH₂ₓ₊₂ it is an alkane. They only differ in the positions of methane branches in the parent carbon chain. Basing on the attached picture, the parent carbon chain is pentane for both isomers. But the methyl branches are on the 2nd & 4th, and 2nd & 3rd carbon for 2,4 - dimethylpentane and 2,3 - dimethylpentane, respectively.

What mass of Hg will occupy a volume of 75.0 mL?
k0ka [10]
75.0 mL in liters:

75.0 / 1000 => 0.075 L

1 mole -------------------- 22.4 L ( at STP)
( moles Hg) ------------- 0.075 L

moles Hg = 0.075 x 1 / 22.4

moles = 0.075 / 22.4

= 0.00334 moles of Hg

Hg => 200.59 u

1 mole Hg ----------------- 200.59 g
<span>0.00334 moles Hg ----- ( mass Hg )
</span>
mass Hg = 200.59 x 0.00334 / 1

mass Hg = 0.6699 / 1

= 0.6699 g of Hg
