Where is the mass of an atom found

Chemistry
1 answer:
Virty [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The mass of an atom is found in its nucleus.

Explanation:

An atom is made of three different particles: protons, neutrons and electrons.

Protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) each have a mass of 1 AMU. They are both found in the nucleus (centre) of the atom.

Electrons (negative charge) are considered to have a mass of 0. Their mass is not actually 0, but very close so we do not count them. They are not in the nucleus, but found in shells surrounding the atom.

To calculate the mass of an atom, we add the number of protons and the number of electrons.

m = P + N

Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. An industrial ch
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The equation for the reaction can be represented as:

2SO_2 + O_2 \to 2SO_3

The I.C.E table can be represented as:

                     2SO₂              O₂                   2SO₃

Initial:             14                  2.6                     0

Change:        -2x                -x                      +2x

Equilibrium:   14 - 2x          2.6 - x                2x

However, Since the amount of sulfur trioxide gas to be 1.6 mol.

SO₃ = 2x,

then x = 1.6/2

x = 0.8 mol

For 2SO₂; we have 14 - 2x

= 14 - 2(0.8)

= 14 - 1.6

= 12.4 mol

For O₂; we have 2.6 - x

= 2.6 - 1.6

= 1.0 mol

Thus;

[SO₂] = moles / volume = ( 12.4/50) = 0.248 M ,

[O₂] = 1/50 = 0.02 M ,  

[SO₃] = 1.6/50 = 0.032 M

Kc = [SO₃]² / [SO₂]² [O₂]

= ( 0.032²) / ( 0.248² x 0.02)

= 0.8325

Recall that; the equilibrium constant for the reaction 2SO_2 + O_2 \to 2SO_3 = 0.8325;

If we want to find:

SO_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}O_2 \to SO_3

Then:

K_c = (0.8325)^{1/2}

\mathbf{K_c = 0.912}

Since no temperature is given to use in the question, it will be impossible to find the final temperature of the mixture.

The elements silicon (atomic number 14) and chlorine (atomic number 17) are both in Period 3. Which is the more reactive element
Svetlanka [38]

Answer;

-Chlorine is more reactive than silicon

Explanation;

-As you move across a period, the nuclear charge will increase; the number of energy levels will stay the same, so there is a stronger and stronger attraction for the electrons.

-The electrons are being held more tightly as you move across a period. It becomes more and more difficult to lose electrons and consequently the reactivity of non metals increases as you go from left to right across the periodic table; Therefore; chlorine is more reactive than silicon.
