What gives an atom its mass?

1 answer:

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.

A buffer solution is made using a weak acid, HA. If the pH of the buffer is 9 and the ratio of A– to HA is 100, what is the pKa

sdas [7]

To calculate the pKa of the weak acid, we use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. It is expressed as pH = pKa - log [HA]/[A-]. This equation takes into account the concentration of the substance that does not dissociates into ions since it is a weak acid. We caculate as follows:

pH = pKa - log [HA]/[A-]
9 = pKa - log 1/100
pKa = 7

Compared to the nucleus 5626fe, what is the density of the nucleus 112 48cd?

tia_tia [17]

For a comparison of the nucleus 5626fe, the density of the nucleus 112 48cd is mathematically given as the same.

n(Cd) / n(Fe)=1

<h3>What is the density of the nucleus 112 48cd?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the density is mathematically given as

d=\frac{A}{4/3}\piR^3

Therefore

n(Cd) / n(Fe) = [A (Cd) / (A Fe) ] * [ R (Fe) / R (Cd)]^3

n(Cd) / n(Fe)= (112 / 56 ) * (1/1.26)3

n(Cd) / n(Fe)=1

In conclusion, The ratio of n(Cd) = n(Fe) is 1, hence same
