Suppose you have a dozen carbon atoms, a dozen gold atoms, and a dozen iron atoms. Even though you have the same number of each,

would you expect them all to have the same mass? Explain.

Answer:

NO!

Explanation:

Not considering isotopes for the moment.  All the atoms of any one element have the same mass.   From the periodic table,  and using whole numbers, you may note that the mass of one atom of hydrogen is one atomic mass unit (amu) and the mass of one carbon atom is 12 amu

So, the one carbon (C) atom is 12 times more massive than one hydrogen (H) atom

If you have the same number or each  the carbon atoms will always be 12 times more massive.

The fundamental, concept, is that (again neglecting isotopes) since all the atoms of any one element are the same, we count out atoms by massing the atoms.   We choose to measure masses in grams, and the counting units is the mole--a number.   Like we count out eggs by the number 12, which we call a dozen,   we count out atoms by the number mole which is a huge, huge number 6.02  x 10 to the 23rd power.  

To comprehend how large the number mole is, I had various students count out a mole of atoms or a mole of molecules by massing them, and then each brought the mole of what they had into a gym which measured 100ft by 100ft.  

The question then became, if you had a mole of raindrops, average diameter 0,04cm, how high would the gym walls have to be to hold the mole of raindrops, assuming no compressing of the water molecules.

The answer is nearly 1,000 times the distance between the earth and the moon.   The reaction is WOW, they must be so small,   YEP!

They got extra credit if they could come up with another accurate and fun way of describing the number mole.

Draw the mechanism of polymerization of propylene with benzoyl peroxide. Show chemical structures and arrows and remember that r
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

This mechanism of polimerization is of one type. This mechanism goes through free radical polimerization, which means that we use a initiator as the radical source, then, the polimerization begins with the breaking of the covalent bonds of that initiator. In this case the benzoyl peroxide. And this mechanism is given in three steps.

In the picture you have the mechanism in the 3 steps:

Convert 25.4 grams of barium phosphate, Ba3(PO4)2 to formula units.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
To solve this questions you first need to find the number of moles of barium phosphate you have. The molar mass of barium phosphate is 601.93g/mol.
24.4/601.83 = 0.0402 moles barium phosphate
Then you need to use avagadro’s number, 6.022 x 10^23, which is the number of molecules or formula units in a mole.

6.022 x 10^23 * 0.0402 = 2.42 x 10^22 formula units

If the pH of vinegar is 3.0, what is the concentration of H+ in vinegar?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: The concentration of H^{+} ions in vinegar is 0.001 M.

Explanation:

Given: pH = 3.0

pH is the negative logarithm of concentration of hydrogen ion.

The expression for pH is as follows.

pH = - log [H^{+}]

Substitute the value into above expression as follows.

pH = - log [H^{+}]\\3.0 = - log [H^{+}]\\conc. of H^{+} = antilog (- 3.0)\\= 0.001 M

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of H^{+} ions in vinegar is 0.001 M.

What has the lowest ionization erergy?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Francium (Fr)

Explanation:

From the given choices, francium will have the lowest ionization energy.

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron within an atom.

The magnitude of the ionization energy depends on the characteristics of the atom in relation to its nuclear charge, atomic radius, stability etc.

  • Generally on the periodic table, ionization energy increases from left to right on the table
  • As you go from metals to non-metals and to gases, the value of the ionization energy increases steadily.
  • Down the group, the value reduces.
  • Since Francium is the most metallic of all the given choices, it has the highest ionization energy.
