The mass of an electron 1/1823 amu's = 0.0005 amu's... the average mass of litium is 6.941 amu's. by losing an electron, the mass of average atomic mass of the Lithium doesn't really change much.

<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of the lithium ion remains the same as lithium atom which is 6.94 amu

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons present in an atom. It is represented as A.

A = Mass number = Number of neutrons + Number of protons.

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.

So, the loss or gain of electrons does not effect the mass number of an atom. Thus, when lithium atom looses an electron to form lithium ion (Li^+), the average atomic mass of the ion remains the same as the neutral atom.

Average atomic mass of lithium atom = 6.94 amu

Hence, the average atomic mass of lithium ion is 6.94 amu.

Perform each of the following unit conversions using the conversion factors given below:
andrezito [222]

1. 1086.04 mmHg

2.70.213 mmHg

3. 95.954 kPa

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Pressure (P) is the force applied per unit area

Can be formulated :

\tt P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P = pressure (SI=Pascal(Pa))

F= force applied (N)

A=area(m²)

The unit of pressure can be expressed in atm, mmHg, or Pascal

\tt 1.\dfrac{1.429}{1}\times 760=1086.04~mmHg

\tt 2)~9,361~Pa=9.361~kPa=\dfrac{9.361}{101.325}\times 760=70.213~mmHg

\tt 3)\dfrac{725}{760}\times 1=0.947~atm=\dfrac{0.947}{1}\times 101.325=95.954~kPa
