6. Why are the atomic masses of elements usually decimal numbers?

Chemistry
1 answer:
NikAS [45]3 years ago

The atomic mass of elements are usually decimals as it makes the atomic masses more accurate and exact. The mass of an atom is also the weighted average of the elements known isotopes and since it’s the average, the number is most likely going to be a decimal number.

I hope this helps :)

Fe2O3 + CO --> Fe + CO2
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is

1.-Fe₂O₃

2.- 280 g

3.- 330 g

Explanation:

Data

mass of CO = 224 g

mass of Fe₂O₃ = 400 g

mass of Fe = ?

mass of CO₂

Balanced chemical reaction

                       Fe₂O₃   + 3CO    ⇒  2Fe  +   3CO₂

1.- Calculate the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ and CO

Fe₂O₃ = (56 x 2) + (16 x 3) = 160 g

CO = 12 + 16 = 28 g

2.- Calculate the proportions

theoretical proportion Fe₂O₃ /3CO = 160/84 = 1.90

experimental proportion Fe₂O₃ / CO = 400/224 = 1.78

As the experimental proportion is lower than the theoretical, we conclude that the Fe₂O₃ is the limiting reactant.

3.-     160 g of Fe₂O₃  --------------- 2(56) g of Fe

         400 g of Fe₂O₃ ---------------  x

         x = (400 x 112) / 160

        x = 280 g of Fe

4.-      160 g of Fe₂O₃  --------------- 3(44) g of CO₂

          400 g of Fe₂O₃  --------------  x

          x = (400 x 132)/160

         x = 330 gr

What's the mass in grams of 0.334 moles of sucrose (C12H22O11)?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

114.23g

Explanation:

Mass = xg

Mole = 0.334 mol

Molar mass of Sucrose

(C = 12, H = 1, O = 16)

C12H22O11

(12×12)+(1×22)+(16×11)

144 + 22 + 176

342g/mol

Mass = No of mole × Molar mass

Mass = 0.334 × 342

Mass = 114.228

Mass ≈ 114.23g

Calculate the analytical and equilibrium molar concentrations of the solute species in an aqueous solution containing 155 mg of
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The analytical molar concentration is 0,04743M

The equilibrium concentrations are HA = 0,01281M; H⁺ and A⁻ = 0,03462M

Explanation:

The analytical molar concentrations is:

155mg ≡ 0,155g÷163,4g/mol = 9,486x10⁻⁴ moles

9,486x10⁻⁴ moles ÷ 0,020L = <em>0,04743 M</em>

The trichloroacetic acid [HA] dissociates in water in a 73%, thus:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

The equilibrium concentrations are:

HA = 0,04743M ×(100-73)% = 0,01281M

H⁺ and A⁻ = 0,04743M ×73% = 0,03462M

I hope it helps!

Which of the following can be mixed in solution with H₂CO3 to make a buffer?OA. Na₂CO3OB. HFOC. NH3OD. NaHCO3
masha68 [24]

A buffer system usually will need a weak acid, like H2CO3, which is carbonic acid, and a strong base, and the only compound that could figure a fairly strong base among the options given is Na2CO3. NH3 and NaHCO3 are weak bases and HF is a strong acid. Therefore the best answer will be letter A
