<span>A carbon - 12 atom and a regular carbon atom would have the same number of protons which is 6. So a carbon - 12 atom would have 6 protons. Both, however, would differ in the number of neutrons. Carbon - 12 atom has 6 neutrons. To determine the mass defect of a carbon - 12 atom, we have to add the total mass of protons and the total mass of neutrons and subtract the known mass of a carbon - 12 atom. That would be like this.<span>
6 (1.00728 amu) + 6 (1.00866 amu) = x
<span>6.04368 amu<span> + 6.05196 amu = x</span></span>
12.09564 amu = x

Then subtract it with 12 amu to get the defect mass

12.09564 amu - 12.00000 amu = y
0.09564 amu = y

<span>So the defect mass would be 0.09564 amu.</span></span></span>

Why do real gases not behave exactly like ideal gases?
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The molecules have (a) volume and (b) attractive forces  

Step-by-step explanation:

At ordinary conditions, the molecules are so far apart that the gases behave almost ideally.

However, if you use high pressure and/or low temperatures, you force the molecules to be close together.

There are <em>two competing effects</em>:

  1. The attractive forces become much stronger at close distances, so the volume is less than that predicted by the Ideal Gas Law.
  2. The  volume of the molecules becomes a significant portion of the volume of the container. The molecules have less volume in which to can move around, so the pressure is higher than that predicted by the Ideal Gas Law.

In 1869 he published a table of the elements organized by increasing atomic mass.

Mendeleev is called the "father of the modern periodic table

stated that if the atomic weight of an element caused it to be placed in the wrong group, then the weight must be wrong. (He corrected the atomic masses of Be, In, and U)

was so confident in his table that he used it to predict the physical properties of three elements that were yet unknown.

After the discovery of these unknown elements between 1874 and 1885, and the fact that Mendeleev's predictions for Sc, Ga, and Ge were amazingly close to the actual values, his table was generally accepted.

However, in spite of Mendeleev's great achievement, problems arose when new elements were discovered and more accurate atomic weights determined.

58-Ni has an atomic number of 28 which are the protons and a mass number of 58. Since the mass number is 58 this is the protons
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Explanation: Nickel is element number 28 on the period table with a mass number 58 or 60, it exist in two forms and the phenomenon is known as isotopy

Definition of Isotopy is simply a phenomenon whereby elements exist in various forms that have the exact same chemical properties but different atomic mass.

58-Ni has atomic number 28 because that's the number o the element on the periodic table. Proton number is the same as atomic number and same as electron number for a neutral element or element without charge.

Mass number = Proton number (P) + Neutron number (N)

58 = 28 + N

N= 58-28

N= 30

58-Ni has 28 has the atomic number, proton number and electron number because it is a neutral atom but the neutron is 30 as shown in the calculation above.

60-NI+2 has a contrasting figure because the element has a charge of +2

Mass number= Proton + Neutron

60 = 28 + N

N= 60 - 28

N= 32

Electron = Proton - Charge

                 28 - (+2)

                  28 - 2

Electron = 26

The number of electron in 60-Ni +2 differs from 58-Ni because of the number of charge

Electron number differs from proton number in any element with a charge.

If the δh°soln of hno3 is –33.3 kj/mol, then how much heat is evolved by dissolving 0.150 mol hno3 in 100.0 ml of water?
Leto [7]
Answer: - 5.00 kJ

Explanation:

1) The heat evolved during the reation is proportional to the number of moles dissolved.

2) Proportionality = ratio is constant

<span>3) δh°soln of HNO3 is –33.3 kJ/mol => ratio 1

                  -33.3 kJ
ratio 1 = ---------------------
                 1 mol HNO3

4) ratio 2

        x
--------------
0.150 mol     
</span>
5) proportion

ratio 1 = ratio 2

        x                -33.3 kJ
--------------- =    -------------- => x = 0.150 mol * (-33.3kJ) / 1 mol = - 4.995 kJ ≈
0.150 mol              1 mol

≈ - 5.00 kJ
