What isotope is used for a standard for other atomic masses?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sergeinik [125]3 years ago
3 0
Though the ratio of any two atom's masses was the same on either scale, it was horribly confusing, so in 1961, a compromise was reached. Instead of using either Hydrogen, or Oxygen as the standard, the isotope of Carbon<span> with 6 </span>protons<span> and 6 neutrons in its nucleus (</span>Carbon-12<span>) was given a mass of exactly 12.</span>

Calculate the volume of the gas when the pressure of the gas is 1.60 atm at a temperature of 298 K. There are 160. mol of gas in
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

2445 L

Explanation:

Given:  

Pressure = 1.60 atm

Temperature = 298 K

Volume = ?

n =  160 mol

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 08206 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

1.60 atm × V = 160 mol × 0.08206 L.atm/K.mol × 298 K  

<u>⇒V = 2445.39 L</u>

Answer to four significant digits, Volume = 2445 L

For the reaction N2O4(g) ⇋ 2NO2(g), Kc = 0.25 at 98°C. At a point during the reaction, the concentration of N2O4 = 0.50 M and th
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Q = 0.50

No

Left

Explanation:

At a generic reversible equation

aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD

The reaction coefficient (Q) is the ratio of the substances concentrations:

Q = \frac{[C]^c*[D]^d}{[A]^a*[B]^b}

Solids and liquid water are not considered in this calculus.

When the reaction achieves equilibrium (concentrations are constant), the Q value is named as Kc, which is the equilibrium constant of the reaction. If Q > Kc, it indicates that the concentration of the products is higher, so, the reaction must progress to the left and form more reactants; if Q < Kc, than the concentrations of the reactants, are higher, so, the reaction progress to the right.

In this case:

Q = \frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}

Q = \frac{0.50^2}{0.50}

Q = 0.50

So, Q > Kc, the reaction is not at equilibrium and it progresses to the left.

As changes in energy levels of electrons increase, the frequencies of atomic line spectra they emit ___?
Tju [1.3M]

Ans: As changes in energy levels of electrons increase, the frequencies of atomic line spectra they emit will <u>increase.</u>

The energy (E) is related to the frequency (ν) by the following equation:

E = hν

where h = planck's constant

The change in energy i between levels is:

ΔΕ = h(Δν)  -----(1)

Based on the above equation, as the changes in energy levels increase, the frequency of emitted radiation will also increase.
