Answer:

  • The incorrect statement is the choice <em>C. Atomic mass has units of grams per atom.</em>

Explanation:

<u>1) Choice A.</u><em><u> Molecular mass is expressed in atomic mass units</u></em><u>.</u>

Correct. Atomic mass units (a.m.u) is the standard unit used to express the mass of the atoms and the molecules.

Since, one atom, molecule, or formula unit is a tiny amount of material, it has a ver, very low mass, and the unit mass of a molecule is referred to one mole (6.022 × 10²³ units).

<u>2) Choice B. </u><em><u>Formula mass compares the mass of one formula unit of a substance to the mass of one atom of carbon-12</u></em><u>.</u>

Correct. The masses of atoms and compounds are referred to a standard. Such standard is the carbon-12 atom. This is, the cabon-12 atom was selected as the standard and its exact mass is 12 a.m.u.

<u>3)  Choice C. </u><em><u>Atomic mass has units of grams per atom.</u></em><u> </u>

Incorrect. Atomic mass is the mass of the atoms, but, since, the mass of one atom is so small, the atomic mass is referred to one mole. Hence, the atomic mass has units of grams per mole.

<u>4) Choice D. </u><em><u>Both molecular mass and formula mass use carbon-12 as a reference standard.</u></em>

Correct. As stated when explaining the option B, the mass of atoms, molecules, and formula units are referred to carbon-12 standard.

<u>5) Choice E. S</u><em><u>odium chloride, an ionic compound, is said to have a formula weight, but not a molecular weight.</u></em>

Correct. The reason is that ionic compounds form large structures (crystals) and, since there is not such thing as one molecule of them, they are said to have formula weight (or mass) but not a molecular weight.

The name molecules is reserved for covalent compounds, where you can formally identify molecules. E.g. Water is a molecular compound, and each molecule has molecular formula H₂O, whose mass is the molecular mass.

Consider the following reaction. Zn(s) 2agno3(aq) --&gt; 2ag(s) zn(no3)2(aq)when 16. 2 g of silver was produced, _____ mole(s) o
Crazy boy [7]

The required amount of silver nitrate to produce 16.2g of silver is 25.48 grams.

<h3>What is the relation between mass & moles?</h3>

Relation between the mass and moles of any substance will be represented as:

n = W/M, where

  • W = given mass
  • M = molar mass

Moles of silver = 16.2g / 107.8g/mol = 0.15mol

From the stoichiometry of the given reaction it is clear that, same moles of silver nitrate is required to produce same moles of silver. So 0.15 moles of silver nitrate is required.

Mass of silver nitrate = (0.15mol)(169.87g/mol) = 25.48g

Hence required mass of silver nitrate is 25.48g.

How many core electrons are in a ground state atom of selenium?
Harman [31]
Electrons in an atom can be classified as core electrons and valence electrons. Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in valence shell and participates in bond formation. While, Core electrons are all remaining electrons which are not present in valence shell, hence not take part in bonding.

Atomic number of Selenium (Se) is 34 hence it has 34 electrons with following electronic configuration;

                          1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁴

From electronic configuration it is found that the valence shell is 4, and the number of electrons present in valence shell are 6. So, 

             Core Electrons  =  Total Electrons - Valence Electrons

             Core Electrons  =  34 - 6

             Core Electrons  =  28

Result:
          There are 28 core electrons in Selenium.
