Given that mH = 1.007825 u, is the mass of a hydrogen atom 1H greater than, less than, or equal to 1/12 the mass of a 12C atom?

Select the correct answer and explanation. Given that = 1.007825 , is the mass of a hydrogen atom greater than, less than, or equal to 1/12 the mass of a atom? Select the correct answer and explanation. 1/12 of the mass of a 12C atom is greater than 1 u. Therefore, the mass of the hydrogen atom is greater than 1/12 of the mass of a 12C atom. 1/12 of the mass of a 12C atom is less than 1 u. Therefore, the mass of the hydrogen atom is less than 1/12 of the mass of a 12C atom. 1/12 of the mass of a 12C atom is exactly 1 u. Therefore, the mass of the hydrogen atom is less than 1/12 of the mass of a 12C atom. 1/12 of the mass of a 12C atom is exactly 1 u. Therefore, the mass of the hydrogen atom is greater than 1/12 of the mass of a 12C atom. 1/12 of the mass of a 12C atom is exactly 1 u. Therefore, the mass of the hydrogen atom is equal to 1/12 of the mass of a 12C atom.

Answer:

1/12 of the mass of a ¹²C atom is exactly 1u. Therefore, the mass of the hydrogen atom is greater than 1/12 of the mass of a ¹²C atom.

Explanation:

The unified atomic mass unit is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a ¹²C atom:

1u = 1/12 m ¹²C  

Also, the unified atomic mass unit is equal to the mass (in grams) of one mole of a substance, so knowing that 1 mol is equal to 6.022x10²³ atoms, the unified atomic mass unit measured in grams is:

1u = \frac{1g}{mol} \cdot \frac{1mol}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} atoms} = 1.66 \cdot 10^{-24} g = 1.66 \cdot 10^{-27} kg      

Starting from this definition, we can calculate the mass of ¹H atom respect to the mass of a ¹²C atom:        

m ^{1}H = 1.007825u \cdot \frac{1/12 m ^{12}C}{1u} \cdot \frac{1.66\cdot 10^{-27}kg}{1/12 m ^{12}C} = 1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg      

Therefore, the mass of a ¹H atom is greater than 1/12 the mass of a ¹²C atom.

I hope it helps you!

Matter behaving like a wave rather than like a particle is best illustrated by which phenomenon?
Novay_Z [31]
<span>The photoelectric effect is about electrons being ejected from metals when light is shined on metals. The electrons do not behave like waves in the photoelectric effect. Black body radiation is all about the radiation emitted by warm bodies and not about those bodies behaving like waves. The emission spectra of atoms is all about what light is given off by atoms when electrons in those atoms jump down to lower energy levels from higher levels. That also has nothing to do with matter behaving as a wave. Interference is classically defined as the generation of a new wave with an amplitude modulated according to the waves that interfere to form that new wave. Note its emphasis on the wave part.</span>

Astronaut mark uri is space-traveling from planet x to planet y at a speed of relative to the planets, which are at rest relativ
lyudmila [28]
<span>From the point of view of the astronaut, he travels between planets with a speed of 0.6c. His distance between the planets is less than the other bodies around him and so by applying Lorentz factor, we have 2*</span>√1-0.6² = 1.6 light hours. On the other hand, from the point of view of the other bodies, time for them is slower. For the bodies, they have to wait for about 1/0.6 = 1.67 light hours while for him it is 1/(0.8) = 1.25 light hours. The remaining distance for the astronaut would be 1.67 - 1.25 = 0.42 light hours. And then, light travels in all frames and so the astronaut will see that the flash from the second planet after 0.42 light hours and from the 1.25 light hours is, 1.25 - 0.42 = 0.83 light hours or 49.8 minutes.
