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.

A typical air sample in the lungs contains oxygen at 100 mmhg, nitrogen at 573 mmhg, carbon dioxide at 40 mmhg, and water vapor
nikdorinn [45]
  it  is  called the  partial pressure   because    it  is    pressure  that   is  exerted by  each gas in  a mixture of  gases if it occupy  the same   volume  of  it  own.  the  the partial pressure  of oxygen  in the air sample above is  100 mm hg, that of  carbon dioxide is 40 mmhg, for   water vapor  47 mmhg. and that of  nitrogen  is 573 mmhg

A sample of gas occupies 9.0 mL at a pressure of 500.0 mm Hg. A new volume of the same sample is at a pressure of 750.0 mm Hg. I
Ymorist [56]
The new pressure is larger than the original, the new volume is smaller than 9.0 ml and the new volume is 6.0 

good luck :D

Given the chemical equation: Fe2O3 + 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO2
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 160 g of Fe₂O₃  

Explanation:

Data

mass of Fe = 112 g

mass of CO = in excess

mass of Fe₂O₃ = ?

Balanced chemical reaction

                Fe₂O₃  +  3CO  ⇒  2Fe  +  3CO₂

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ and Fe

Molar mass Fe₂O₃ = (56 x 2) + (16 x 3) = 112 + 48 = 160 g

atomic mass of Fe = 56

2.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of Fe₂O₃ needed

                160 g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------- 2(56) g of Fe

                 x     g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------ 112 g of Fe

                 x = (112 x 160) / 2(56)

                 x = 17920/112

                 x = 160 g of Fe₂O₃
