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.

Americans eat too much salt (NaCl). A healthy adult should eat no more than 6 g of salt in one day. Use this information to answ
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

a. 58.5 g/mol

b. 0.1 mol

Explanation:

a.

The molar mass of Na is 23.0 g/mol. The molar mass of Cl is 35.5 g/mol. The molar mass of NaCl is:

M(Na) + M(Cl) = 23.0 g/mol + 35.5 g/mol = 58.5 g/mol

b. A healthy adult should eat no more than 6 g of salt in one day. The moles corresponding to 6 g of NaCl are:

6 g × (1 mol/58.5 g) = 0.1 mol

(You do) If you have 47.2 mol of Na available, along with an excess of Cl₂, how many grams of NaCl can you produce?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

2,760 grams NaCl

Explanation:

To find grams of NaCl, you need to (1) convert moles of Na to moles of NaCl (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction) and (2) convert moles of NaCl to grams (via molar mass from periodic table). The final answer should have 3 significant figures based on the given measurement.

2 Na + Cl₂ --> 2 NaCl

Molar Mass (NaCl) = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass (NaCl) = 58.44 g/mol

47.2 moles Na           2 moles NaCl              58.44 grams

----------------------  x  ---------------------------  x  -------------------------  =
                                   2 moles Na                   1 mole NaCl

= 2,758.368 grams NaCl

= 2,760 grams NaCl

A solution of copper sulfate (CuSO4) produced by bioleaching has a concentration of 0.319 g/dm3 Relative atomic masses (Ar): Cu
Tanya [424]

moles Cu produced : 0.002

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Concentration of copper sulfate (CuSO₄) : 0.319 g/dm³

MW CuSO₄ :

\tt =63.5+32+4\times 16=159.5~g/mol

mol CuSO₄ /dm³ :

\tt \dfrac{0.319}{159.5}=0.002

CuSO₄⇒Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

mol Cu : mol CuSO₄ = 1 : 1 , so mol Cu²⁺=0.002

Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to produce sodium chloride. What mass (grams) of sodium metal would be needed to fully rea
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

105.8 g of Na would be required

Explanation:

Let's think the reaction:

2Na(s)  + Cl₂(g)  →  2NaCl (s)

1 mol of chlorine reacts with 2 moles of sodium

Then, 2.3 moles of Cl₂ would react with (2.3 .2) / 1 = 4.6 moles

Let's determine the mass of them.

4.6 mol . 23 g/mol = 105.8 g
