What gives an atom its mass?

Chemistry

saw5 [17]3 years ago
4 0
Almost all of the mass of an atom (more than 99%) is in its nucleus, so "atomic mass" is pretty much a measure of the size of the nucleus of an atom. The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are almost exactly the same size.

Given the following values of pKa, determine which is the weakest base of the answers listed. Acid pKa HClO2 1.95 HClO 7.54 HCOO
professor190 [17]

Answer:

HClO 7.54

Explanation:

Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is a weakest acid because the pKa value of Hypochlorous acid is very high among the options given in the activity. pKa is a method which is used in order to identify the strength of an acid. The higher the value of pKa of a liquid, lower the strength of an acid while lower the value of pKa of chemical, higher the strength of an acid. In the options, HClO2  is a strong acid due to high lower pKa value.

2Al + 6HCl --&gt; 2AlCl3 + 3H2 Aluminium reacts with hydrochloric acid. How many grams of aluminum are necessary to produce 11 L
dem82 [27]

Answer:

8.8g of Al are necessaries

Explanation:

Based on the reaction, 2 moles of Al are required to produce 3 moles of hydrogen gas.

To solve this question we must find the moles of H2 in 11L at STP using PV = nRT. With these moles we can find the moles of Al required and its mass as follows:

<em>Moles H2:</em>

PV = nRT; PV/RT = n

<em>Where P is pressure = 1atm at STP; V is volume = 11L; R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK and T is absolute temperature = 273.15K at STP</em>

Replacing:

1atm*11L/0.082atmL/molK*273.15K = n

n = 0.491 moles of H2 must be produced

<em />

<em>Moles Al:</em>

0.491 moles of H2 * (2mol Al / 3mol H2) = 0.327moles of Al are required

<em />

<em>Mass Al -Molar mass: 26.98g/mol-:</em>

0.327moles of Al * (26.98g / mol) = 8.8g of Al are necessaries

allsm [11]
<span>A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds; or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably; there are "strong bonds" or "primary bond" such as metallic, covalent or ionic bonds and "weak bonds" or "secondary bond" such as Dipole-dipole interaction, the London dispersion force and hydrogen bonding.</span>
