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

Chemistry

NikAS [45]3 years ago
3 0
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 :)

Find the ph of a 0.250 m solution of nac2h3o2. (the ka value of hc2h3o2 is 1.80×10−5). express your answer numerically to four s
Slav-nsk [51]
Answer is: pH value of solution of NaC₂H₃O₂ is 9.07.
Chemical reaction: C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + OH⁻.
Ka(HC₂H₃O₂) = 1,8·10⁻⁵.<span>
Ka · Kb = Kw.
</span>1,8·10⁻⁵ mol/dm³ · Kb = 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶; the ionic product of water at 25°C.<span>
Kb(</span>C₂H₃O₂⁻) = 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ ÷ 1,8·10⁻⁵ mol/dm³.<span>
Kb(</span>C₂H₃O₂⁻) = 5,56·10⁻¹⁰ mol/dm³.
c(C₂H₃O₂⁻) = 0,25 M.
[OH⁻] = [HC₂H₃O₂] = x.
[C₂H₃O₂⁻] = 0,25 M - x.
Kb = [OH⁻] · [HC₂H₃O₂] / [C₂H₃O₂⁻].
5,56·10⁻¹⁰ = x² / (0,25 M -x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH⁻] = 0,0000118 M.
pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(0,0000118M) = 4,93.
pH + pOH = 14.
pH = 14 - 4,93 = 9,07.

All physical changes can be identified at the macroscopic level. true or false
Aliun [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The physical changes are reversible in most cases and these changes are not the chemical changes which means that it is only the change in its state not in their nature. Just take the example of water, on cooling it becomes solid and change in color can be seen which is white in solid form and colorless in liquid form. This is also reversible and is a physical change. This means that physical changes can be identified at macroscopic level. Hence the answer is true.

How is the energy divided up in the plant
Lerok [7]
When a crop of wheat grows, new organic matter is created by the process of photosynthesis, which converts light energy into energy stored in chemical bonds within plant tissue. ... New compounds and structures are synthesized, cells divide, and the plant grows in size over time

Two solid blocks are HEATED to the temperatures show. The blocks are placed so they touch. Which diagram shows the DIRECTION HEA
Setler [38]

Answer:

Heat flows from the block at high temperature to the one with lower temperature

Explanation:

The direction of heat flow is from a body at higher temperature to one with a lower temperature.

  • Temperature gradient determines the way and manner in which heat is dissipated.
  • As a system tend to increase entropy, it ensures that heat moves from hotter body to a colder body.
  • Heat movement here is by conduction as the body touches.
  • When both bodies reaches the same temperature, thermal equilibrium is established.
