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

A certain substance melts at a temperature of . But if a sample of is prepared with of urea dissolved in it, the sample is found
pshichka [43]

Answer:

2.2 °C/m

Explanation:

It seems the question is incomplete. However, this problem has been found in a web search, with values as follow:

" A certain substance X melts at a temperature of -9.9 °C. But if a 350 g sample of X is prepared with 31.8 g of urea (CH₄N₂O) dissolved in it, the sample is found to have a melting point of -13.2°C instead. Calculate the molal freezing point depression constant of X. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. "

So we use the formula for <em>freezing point depression</em>:

  • ΔTf = Kf * m

In this case, ΔTf = 13.2 - 9.9 = 3.3°C

m is the molality (moles solute/kg solvent)

  • 350 g X ⇒ 350/1000 = 0.35 kg X
  • 31.8 g Urea ÷ 60 g/mol = 0.53 mol Urea

Molality = 0.53 / 0.35 = 1.51 m

So now we have all the required data to <u>solve for Kf</u>:

  • ΔTf = Kf * m
  • 3.3 °C = Kf * 1.51 m
  • Kf = 2.2 °C/m

Kernels of corn are heated and become popcorn. Why is this a chemical change?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

When popcorn is popped, liquid inside the kernel is changed to steam. Pressure from the steam builds up inside the kernel. When the pressure reached a critical stage the kernel pops turning itself inside out. This is a physical change.

Bananas Foster is an example of a dessert that is flambéed. A Bananas Foster label states the accepted number of Calories to be
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

6.00%

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Accepted value for the number of calories in a Bananas Foster: 300 calories

Measured value for the number of calories in a Bananas Foster: 318 calories

Step 2: Calculate the percent error in the measure

We will use the following expression.

%error = |accepted value - experimental value|/ accepted value × 100%

%error = |300 cal - 318 cal|/ 300 cal × 100% = 6.00%

Which of the following statements regarding glucose is FALSE?a) Glucose is the main component of starch and glycogen.b) Glucose
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are one of the macro molecules that are consumed by living organisms. The end product of carbohydrate is glucose. Glucose is a very important fuel that the body cells used to produce energy, which they use to carry out their daily activities. Glucose is also known as blood sugar and it is the only fuel that living cells can use for the production of ATP. Other food macro molecules such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose if there is a need for that. Glucose is always stored in the body in form of glycogen.

The statement given in option C about glucose is wrong because glucose is a monosaccharide and not a disaccharide.
