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.

Calculate the oxidation number of the iodine (I) in each compound: HIO4 = I2 = NaI = HIO3 =
Makovka662 [10]
1) in periodic acid (HIO₄), iodine has oxidation number +7, hydrogen has oxidation number +1, oxygen has -2, compound has neutral charge:
+1 + x + 4 · (-2) = 0.
x = +7.

2) in molecule of iodine (I₂), iodine has oxidation number 0, because iodine is nonpolar molecule.

3) in sodium iodide (NaI), iodine has oxidation number -1, sodium has oxidation number +1:
+1 + x = 0.
x = -1.

4) in iodic acid (HIO₃), iodine has oxidation number +5, hydrogen has oxidation number +1, oxygen has -2, compound has neutral charge:
+1 + x + 3 · (-2) = 0.
x = +5.

How many times more hydroxide ions are there in a solution with a ph of 9 than in a solution with a ph of 3?
cestrela7 [59]
The pH unit has 10x as many hydrogens ions as the unit above.
Ex: A pH of 5 would have 10x more hydrogen ions than a pH of 6 
and 100x more than if it had a pH of 7.
With a pH of 9 and 3, this is equivalent to 10⁶
So your answer should be:
1,000,000

How do I find molar mass​
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:The molar mass is the mass of a given chemical element or chemical compound (g) divided by the amount of substance (mol).

The molar mass of a compound can be calculated by adding the standard atomic masses (in g/mol) of the constituent atoms.
