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

Predict whether each of the following bonds is ionic, polar, covalent, or nonpolar covalent:
Gekata [30.6K]

Explanation:

It is known that in order to determine a compound to be ionic, polar, covalent or non-polar covalent it is necessary to determine the electronegativity difference of the combining atoms.

So, when electronegativity difference is from 0.0 to 0.4 then bond formed between the two atoms is non-polar covalent in nature.

When electronegativity difference is greater than 0.4 and less than 1.8 then bond between the two atoms is a polar covalent bond.

When electronegativity difference is 1.8 or greater than the bond formed is ionic in nature.

Electronegativity difference of the given molecules is as follows.

Si-O = (1.90 - 3.44) = 1.54

K-Cl = (0.82 - 3.16) = 2.34

S-F = (2.58 - 3.98) = 1.4

P-Br = (2.19 - 2.96) = 0.77

Li-O = (0.98 - 3.44) = 2.46

N-P = (3.04 - 2.19) = 0.85

Therefore, given compounds are classified as follows.

Si-O, S-F, P-Br, and N-P all have a polar covalent bond. Whereas K-Cl and Li-O are ionic in nature.

Propane has a normal boiling point of -42.04 °C and a heat of vaporization of 24.54 kJ/mole. What is the vapor pressure of propa
Mademuasel [1]

Answer : The vapor pressure of propane at 25.0^oC is 17.73 atm.

Explanation :

The Clausius- Clapeyron equation is :

\ln (\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R}\times (\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2})

where,

P_1 = vapor pressure of propane at 25.0^oC = ?

P_2 = vapor pressure of propane at normal boiling point = 1 atm

T_1 = temperature of propane = 25.0^oC=273+25.0=298.0K

T_2 = normal boiling point of propane = -42.04^oC=230.96K

\Delta H_{vap} = heat of vaporization = 24.54 kJ/mole = 24540 J/mole

R = universal constant = 8.314 J/K.mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\ln (\frac{1atm}{P_1})=\frac{24540J/mole}{8.314J/K.mole}\times (\frac{1}{298.0K}-\frac{1}{230.96K})

P_1=17.73atm

Hence, the vapor pressure of propane at 25.0^oC is 17.73 atm.

The elements lithium and oxygen react explosively to from lithium oxide (Li2O). How much lithium oxide will form if 3.03 mol of
lianna [129]
The reaction equation:
2Li + O → Li₂O

Molar ratio of Li to Li₂O is:
2 : 1
So if 3.03 moles of Li are present:
2/1 = 3.03 / x
x = 1.515 moles of Li₂O will be produced.
