Scientists can calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons which can be found in the nucleus of the element's atoms. The atomic mass of an element is the product of protons plus neutrons. The number of neutrons is not always equal to the number of protons. By subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass, the difference will be how many neutrons are in the element's nucleus.

What is molar concept​
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The molar mass of a substance is defined as the mass in grams of 1 mole of that substance. One mole of isotopically pure carbon-12 has a mass of 12 g. ... That is, the molar mass of a substance is the mass (in grams per mole) of 6.022 × 1023 atoms, molecules, or formula units of that substance.

Which of the following is not the same as 12.5 millimeters? 0.0000125 km 0.00125 hm 0.0125 m 1.25 cm
erma4kov [3.2K]
1 mm (millimeter) = 0.000001 km (kilometer)
12.5 mm = <span>0.0000125 km

1 mm = </span><span>0.00001 hm (hectometer)
12.5 mm = </span><span>0.000125 hm

1 mm = </span>0.001 m (meter)
12.5 mm = 0.0125 m

1 mm = 0.1 cm (centimeter)
12.5 mm = 1.25 cm

So the only one of the answer choices that doesn't equal 12.5 mm is 0.00125 hm, since 12.5 mm is <span>0.000125 hm.

Answer:
</span><span>0.00125 hm
</span><span>

Use bond energies to determine δhrxn for the reaction between ethane and chlorine. ch3ch3(g)+cl2(g)→ch3ch2cl(g)+hcl(g)
STALIN [3.7K]
For this reaction to proceed, the following bond breaking should occur: 

*one C-H bond
* one Cl-Cl bond

After, the following bond formations should occur:
*one C-Cl bond
*one H-Cl bond

Now, add the bond energies for the respective bond energies which can be found in the attached picture. For bond formations, energy is negative. For bond breaking, energy is positive.

ΔHrxn = (1)(413) + (1)(242) + 1(-328) + 1(-431) = <em>-104 kJ</em>
