Explain how the relative atomic mass and the mass number of elements are different and hence why some elements have relative ato

mic masses that are not whole numbers
Chemistry

padilas [110]3 years ago
6 0
This is because the relative atomic mass is the sum of the no of protons and neutrons while the atomic no is of the former only. it is not a whole number it is th average weighted masses of the various isotopes of the element multiplied by their corresponding relative abundance. pls thank me and mark me briniest

suppose the heat of neutralization had ben determined using a glass beaker instead of a polystyrene coffee​ cup.how would the me
nalin [4]
<span>Answer: Glass has a much higher specific heat than styrofoam so more of the energy produced will go into heating the glass. This quantity of heat will be lost (unaccounted for) hence the delta t in the calculation will be too small and the heat of neutralization will be lower.</span>

Arrange the bonds between H, O, and F from most polar to least polar based on electronegativity.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

H-F> H-O> O-F

while H-H is nonpolar.

Explanation:

The bond is polar when electronegativity difference of both bonded atom is greater than 0.4.

Electronegativity values of O. F and H are

O = 3.4

H = 2.2

F = 3.98

For O-F

3.98 - 3.4 = 0.58

For H-F

3.98 - 2.2 = 1.78

For H-O

3.4 - 2.2 =  1.2

For H-H

2.2 -2.2 = 0

So H-H is nonpolar.

Predict the products of hydrobromic acid, H B r , reacting with magnesium hydroxide, M g ( O H ) 2 . Select one or more:
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Magnesium bromide, MgBr2, and water, H2O.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since HBr is an acid and Mg(OH)2 is a base, an acid-base reaction is undergone, by which a salt and water are produced as neutralization products:

HBr+Mg(OH)_2\rightarrow MgBr_2+H_2O

However, it need to be balanced since two bromine atoms are produced, therefore we write:

2HBr+Mg(OH)_2\rightarrow MgBr_2+2H_2O

Thus, the products are magnesium bromide, MgBr2, and water, H2O.

Best regards!

How would you calculate the atomic mass of an atom of silver (Ag)?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

107.8682 u

Explanation:

Well Silver has an atomic mass of aproximately 107.9. 1 mole of silver atoms = 107.9g and there are 6.02x10^23 atoms in one mole. Therefore to find mass of one atom you should divide the mass by Avodgadro's constant to find the mass of one atom because they all have an even distribution of mass.

The average atomic mass of the element takes the variations of the number of neutrons into account, and tells you the average mass per atom in a typical sample of that element. For example, the element silver (Ag) has two naturally occurring isotopes: Ag-107 and Ag-109 (or 107Ag and 109Ag).
