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

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

Fifteen grams of a liquid plastic are frozen in a physical change that increases the volume. What can be known about the plastic
Brrunno [24]
I think the correct answer would be the third option. From the physical change that happened, we can only tell that the mass of the plastic would be still the same and would weigh 15 grams. This is in accordance with the Law of conservation of mass where it states that mass cannot be destroyed or created. So, since it is only a physical change that happens the substance itself would still be the same and it is only the form that is changed, it would still have the same mass. However, with the change, the volume is changed and is said to increase which means it would greatly affect the density. Increasing the volume would result to a decrease in density.

2.54 mL of ethanol to mol ethanol (Hint: the density of ethanol is 0.789<br> g/mL.)
Katarina [22]

0.04350179862

Explanation:

Make sure to check for sig figs though. Basically, you have 2.54 mL and you multiply that by the 0.789 g/mL and mL cancels out and you are left with 2.00406g. There are 46.06844 grams per mol of ethanol, so to cancel out grams we multiply by 1/46.06844. And then we are left with 0.04350179862 mol

What is used to represent a bond in an ionic compound ?
Pie

Answer:

Electronegativity difference between 2 atoms

Explanation:

1. If the electronegativity difference (usually called ΔEN) is less than 0.5, then the bond is nonpolar covalent.

2. If the ΔEN is between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond is considered polar covalent

3. If the ΔEN is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic.

An organic acid is composed of carbon (45.45%), hydrogen (6.12%), and oxygen (48.44%). Its molar mass is 132.12 g/mol. Determine
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

C4H8O4

Explanation:

To determine the molecular formula, first, let us obtain the empirical formula. This is illustrated below:

From the question given, we obtained the following information:

C = 45.45%

H = 6.12%

O = 48.44%

Divide the above by their molar mass

C = 45.45/12 = 3.7875

H = 6.12/1 = 6.12

O = 48.44/16 = 3.0275

Divide by the smallest

C = 3.7875/3.0275 = 1

H = 6.12/3.0275 = 2

O = 3.0275/3.0275 = 1

The empirical formula is CH2O

The molecular formula is given by [CH2O]n

[CH2O]n = 132.12

[12 + (2x1) + 16]n = 132.12

30n = 132.12

Divide both side by the coefficient of n i.e 30

n = 132.12/30 = 4

The molecular formula is [CH2O]n = [CH2O]4 = C4H8O4

A 0.200 M solution of a weak acid, HA, is 9.4% ionized. Using this information, calculate Ka for HA.
slavikrds [6]

{ \qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}}

Let's solve ~

Initial concentration of weak acid HA = 0.200 M

and dissociation constant ({ \alpha}) is :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:  \alpha =  \frac{dissociation \:  \: percentage}{100}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:  \alpha =  \frac{9.4}{100}  = 0.094

Now, at initial stage :

  • \textsf{ Conc of HA = 0.200 M}

  • \textsf{Conc of H+ = 0 M}

  • \textsf{Conc of A - = 0 M}

At equilibrium :

  • \textsf{Conc of HA = 0.200 - 0.094(0.200) = 0.200(1 - 0.094) = 0.200(0.906) = 0.1812 M}

  • \textsf{Conc of H+ = 0.094(0.200)  = 0.0188 M}

  • \textsf{Conc of A - = 0.094(0.200)  = 0.0188 M}

Now, we know :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: { K_a = \dfrac{[H+] [A-]}{[HA]}}

( big brackets represents concentration )

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: { K_a = \dfrac{0.0188×0.0188}{0.1812}}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: { K_a = \dfrac{0.00035344}{0.1812}}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: { K_a \approx 0.00195 }

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:  {K_a \approx 1.9 × {10}^{-3} }
