Answer:

They aren't listed as a whole number, because an atom's mass is not always a whole number. The mass differs between types of atoms as well.

Answer:

This is because atoms ionize, isotopes exist, and the fact that their are impurities.

Explanation:

Each atomic mass could not be calculated accurately if it was a whole number.

what volume of a 0.138 m potassium hydroxide solution is required to neutralize 26.0 ml of a 0.205 m nitric acid solution?

Law Incorporation [45]

A neutralization titration is a chemical response this is used to decide the composition of an answer and what kind of acid or base is in it. This is a way of volumetric analysis and the formula is ( $M1V1 = M2V2$ ).

Utilize the titration method of $M1V1 = M2V2$ in view that we're given the concentrations of every compound and the quantity of $KOH$ . Let: M1 = 0.138M, V1 = x, M2 = 0.205M, V2 = 26.0 ML.

M1 = initial mass
V1= initial volume
M2 = final mass
V2= final volume

$(M1V1 = M2V2)$
(0.138)(V1) = (0.205)x(26.0)
V2=(0.205)x(26.0)\ 0.138
V2 = 47.10 M/L
The final value of Volume needed for neutralization of nitric acid solution is V2 = 47.10 M/L

An average person expends about 845 kilojoules of energy per hour of walking. Suppose a person eats 2 baked potatoes with butter

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{2hours}$

Explanation:

You will need to use the conversion between food calories, calories and joules.

$1\text { nutritional calorie }= 1,000cal\\ \\ 1cal=4.184joule$

From a nutritional table (from the internet) you can obtain the amount of nutritional calories for each type macronutrient: carbohydrates, protein, and fat.

Macronutrient food calories

Carbohydrate 4 cal/g

Protein 4 cal/g

Fat 9 cal/g

To convert food calories to regular calories, mutiply by the conversion factor:

$1=1,000cal/\text{nutritional calorie}$

Macronutrient calories

Carbohydrate 4,000 cal/g

Protein 4,000 cal/g

Fat 9,000 cal/g

To convert regular calories to joules, multiply by the conversion factor:

$1=4.184 joule/1cal$

Macronutrient energy in joules

Carbohydrate 16,736 joule/g

Protein 16,736 joule/g

Fat 37,656 joule/g

Now you can multiply the grams of each macronutrient in one potato by its energy content:

Macronutrient energy/gram × grams = total energy

Carbohydrate 16,736 joule/g × 37 g = 619,232 joules

Protein 16,736 joule/g × 4.3 g = 71,968.8 joules

Fat 37,656 joule/g × 4 g = 150,624 joules

Total = 619,232 joules + 71,968.8 joules + 150,624 joules = 841,820.8 joules.

Since they are two potatoes, multiply by 2: × 841,820.8 joules = 1,683,641.6 joules.

Divide by 1,000 to convert to kilojoules = 1,683.64 kilojoules

Divide the total energy from the two potatoes by the energy that an average person expend per hour of walking (845 kilojoules of energy per hour):

$1,683.64kilojoules/845kilojouesl/hour=1.99hours\approx 2hours$

Why does hydrochloric acid have a higher boiling point than diatomic fluorine?Why does hydrochloric acid have a higher boiling p

beks73 [17]

Hydrochloric acid is polar which means it has stronger bonds between it's molecules, unlike diatomic fluorine that is non-polar and has weaker bonds. That's why it has a higher boiling point.
