What is the difference between the atomic number and the mass number of an element?

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.

Which statement is true about a reversible reaction?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The correct statement is : It results in an equilibrium mixture of reactants and products.

Explanation:

A reversible chemical reaction is one that occurs in both directions, that is, of the reagents to generate products and vice versa. In synthesis, they are incomplete reactions since the reagents are not consumed in their entirety, since the products react to generate them again.

The concentration of sugar in a soft drink is measured to be 10.5%. how many grams of sugar are in 125 g of the drink?
viva [34]
The grams  of the sugar in 125 g of the drink is calculated as below

%M/m) = mass of the solute (sugar)/  mass of the  solvent(drink) x100

let the mass  of the solute(sugar) be represented by y

convert % into fraction by dividing by 100 = 10.5/100

10.5/100 = y/125

by cross multiplication

100y =1312.5
divide both side by 100

y=13.125  grams

D. The following reaction produced 10.0 g of O₂.
satela [25.4K]

Mole-mole calculations are not the only type of calculations that can be performed using balanced chemical equations. Recall that the molar mass can be determined from a chemical formula and used as a conversion factor. We can add that conversion factor as another step in a calculation to make a mole-mass calculation, where we start with a given number of moles of a substance and calculate the mass of another substance involved in the chemical equation, or vice versa.

For example, suppose we have the balanced chemical equation

2 Al + 3 Cl 2 → 2 Alcoa

Suppose we know we have 123.2 g of Cl 2. How can we determine how many moles of Alcoa we will get when the reaction is complete? First and foremost, chemical equations are not balanced in terms of grams; they are balanced in terms of moles. So to use the balanced chemical equation to relate an amount of Cl 2 to an amount of Alcoa, we need to convert the given amount of Cl 2 into moles. We know how to do this by simply using the molar mass of Cl 2 as a conversion factor. The molar mass of Cl 2 (which we get from the atomic mass of Cl from the periodic table) is 70.90 g/mil. We must invert this fraction so that the units cancel properly:
