Light elements with an atomic number less than 20 generally have a neutron to proton ratio equal to

Chemistry

Natalija [7]3 years ago
6 0
Atomic elements consist of a nucleus that contains protons and neutrons. Protons carry a positive charge whilst neutrons are electrically neutral. In light elements with an atomic number less than 20, the neutron to proton ratio is generally equal to 1:1. This changes for heavier elements since the Coulomb interaction between many protons gets stronger and demands more neutrons for the nucleus to remain stable.

A hot lump of 39.9 g of iron at an initial temperature of 78.1 °C is placed in 50.0 mL H 2 O initially at 25.0 °C and allowed to
Drupady [299]

Answer : The final temperature of the mixture is 29.6^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of iron = 0.499J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of iron = 39.9 g

m_2 = mass of water  = Density\times Volume=1g/mL\times 50.0mL=50.0g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of iron = 78.1^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 25.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

(39.9g)\times (0.499J/g^oC)\times (T_f-78.1)^oC=-(50.0g)\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (T_f-25.0)^oC

T_f=29.6^oC

Therefore, the final temperature of the mixture is 29.6^oC

Mg + 2HCl ⟶ MgCl2 + H2
Ivanshal [37]

Answer: m = 24.31 g/mol · 1.13 mol

Explanation: 2 mol HCl use 1 mol Mg.

Magnesium is used 0.5 · 2.26 mol = 1.13 mol

M(Mg) = 24.31 g/ mol

Why atomic mass is an average vàlue​
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The atomic mass is the average number of protons and neutrons for all natural isotopes of an element. It is a decimal number.

Explanation:

Atomic Mass and Mass Number Example :

Hydrogen has three natural isotopes: 1H, 2H, and 3H. Each isotope has a different mass number.

1H has 1 proton. Its mass number is 1. 2H has 1 proton and 1 neutron. Its mass number is 2. 3H has 1 proton and 2 neutrons. Its mass number is 3. 99.98% of all hydrogen is 1H 0.018% of all hydrogen is 2H 0.002% of all hydrogen is 3H Together, they give a value of atomic mass of hydrogen equal to 1.0079 g/mol.
