Mostly because weight in the size of something and mass generalizes the amount in something

It is because weight can be change in different gravity but mass remains same in any condition 'cause it does not depend on any physical condition.

What istope of an atom if it has 29 protons and 36 neutrons?

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Copper Atoms

Explanation:

All copper atoms have atomic number 29: all their nuclei contain 29 protons. But they also contain uncharged particles called neutrons. In natural copper, the atoms are of two kinds. One has 29 protons and 34 neutrons in the nucleus; the other has 29 protons and 36 neutrons

The balanced equation for a hypothetical reaction is a + 5b + 6c → 3d + 3e. what is the rate law for this reaction? rate = k [a]

nekit [7.7K]

Answer: The correct rate of the reaction is $Rate=k[a][b]^5[c]^6$

Explanation:

Rate law of the reaction is the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in the terms of the molar concentrations of the reactants with each term raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients in a balanced chemical equation.

For the given reaction:

$a+5b+6c\rightarrow 3d+3e$

The expression for the rate law will be: $Rate=k[a][b]^5[c]^6$

An evacuated 276 mL glass bulb weighs 129.6375 g. Filled with an unknown gas, the bulb weighs 130.0318 g. Calculate the gas dens

baherus [9]

Answer:

density=1.43 g/L

Explanation:

Since the density formula is density = mass / volume, we need to find out the mass of the gas and the volume is that of the container.

The mass of the gas is 130.0318 g-129.6375 g=0.3943 g

The gas volume is 276mL*(1L/1000mL) 0.276 L

density = mass / volume=0.3943g/0.276L

density =1.43g/L

how do the properties of sodium chloride compare with the properties of its component elements, sodium

Orlov [11]

Sodium chloride is a nonreactive solid at room temperature, and is commonly known as table salt. The two elements that make up sodium chloride are sodium and chlorine. Sodium is a very reactive metal that tastes bad. Pure sodium is explosive when it comes in contact with water. Hope this helps

Molarity to percent by mass. Convert 1.672 mol/L MgCl2(aq) solution to percent by mass of MgCl2 in the solution. The solution de

nignag [31]

Answer:

$\%m/m=14\%$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of magnesium chloride (molar mass = 95.211 g/mol) is 1.672 mol/L and we know the density of the solution, we can first compute the concentration in g/L as shown below:

$[MgCl_2]=1.672\frac{molMgCl_2}{L}*\frac{95.211gMgCl_2}{1molMgCl_2}=159.2\frac{gMgCl_2}{L}$

Next, since the density of the solution is 1.137 g/mL, we can compute the concentration in g/g as shown below:

$[MgCl_2]=159.2\frac{gMgCl_2}{L}*\frac{1L}{1000mL}*\frac{1mL}{1.137g}=0.14$

Which is also the by-mass fraction and in percent it turns out:

$\%m/m=0.14*100\%\\\\\%m/m=14\%$

Best regards!
