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

Write a net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when nickel(ii carbonate and excess hydrobromic acid (aq are combined.
seropon [69]
First, we write the reaction equation:
NiCO₃ + 2HBr → NiBr₂ + H₂CO₃

Now, writing this in ionic form:
NiCO₃ + 2H⁺ + 2Br⁻ → NiBr₂ + 2H⁺ + CO₃⁻²

(NiCO₃ is insoluble so it does not dissociate in to ions very readily)

Overall equation:
NiCO₃ + 2Br⁻ → NiBr₂ + CO₃⁻²

Is the dissolving of copper (ii) chloride in water a chemical change or a physical change why?
bija089 [108]
It would be a chemical change because the chloride water would have an effect on the copper. A way to tell if something is a chemical or physical change is that chemical change is not reversible. Physical change can be reversed. For example, water can be physically changed into ice, and it can go back into water. Hope this helps!

What mass, in grams, of chlorine gas (Cl2) is contained in a 12.5-liter tank at 27.0 degrees Celsius and 2.85 atmospheres? Show
nata0808 [166]
PV = nRT
P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is the gas constant, T is temperature in K

(2.85 atm)(12.5 L) = (n)(.08206)(27 C + 273)

n = 1.45 moles x 35.45 grams / mol Cl2 = 51.3 grams
