The atomic weight reported in the periodic table of elements for Carbon is the average weight of all the known isotopes of Carbon occurring naturally. There are 3: Carbon-12, Carbon-13 and Carbon-14. The numbers represent the mass numbers, or the sum of neutrons and protons in the nucleus. Each of the individual masses are multiplied with their individual percentage abundances. Then, when you add them up, it will yield the average atomic weight equal to 12.011 amu or grams/mole C.

Each cubic centimeter of gold has a mass of 19.3 g. A cube of gold measures 4.23 cm on each edge. (a) What is the volume of the
aivan3 [116]

Answer: The volume of the gold is   75.68g/cm^3

The mass of gold is 19.3 g

The density of gold is 0.25g/cm^3

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}

Given : Mass of gold = 19.3 grams

To calculate the volume of cube, we use the equation:

V=a^3

where,

V = volume of cube

a = edge of cube

Volume of gold = (4.23cm)^3=75.68cm^3

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Putting in the values we get:

Density=\frac{19.3g}{75.68cm^3}=0.25g/cm^3

Thus density of gold will be 0.25g/cm^3

What is the earth’s convention currents responsible for?
netineya [11]
Convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. Heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the Earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. Theaesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the Earth that extends to 2900 km.

How could you tell what element it is if only a model was present?​
andreyandreev [35.5K]
You can look at the number of valence electrons and look at the size of the molecule itself to determine which element in this certain group is shown on the model.
