The atomic mass of an atom is the sum of the protons plus neutrons it has.

Phantasy [73]3 years ago

6 0

Answer & explanation:

The atomic mass of the atom is expressed in u. Indicates how many times the mass of the atom is greater than 1/12 of the mass of the carbon atom (A = 12).

When we measure a quantity, we compare it with another as a reference. To measure the mass of our body we use the kilogram (kg) as the standard unit. If the person has a mass of 80kg it means that his mass is 80 times greater than the mass of 1kg.

Chemistry, in practice, is not interested in knowing the mass of an isolated atom, but for science it is important to know the mass of atoms compared to the mass of another atom taken as standard. Carbon was then the element that has its standardized mass (A = 12).

The mass of an atom is expressed by employing a very small unit called the atomic mass unit (u). When the mass of an element X is stated to be 24u, it means that its mass is 24 times greater than the 1/12 mass of the carbon atom (A = 12). In other words, the atomic mass of element X is twice the atomic mass of carbon.

If nitrogen (N) has 2 naturally occurring isotopes, nitrogen-14 (78.3%) and nitrogen-16 (21.7%), what is its average r.a.m.?

leva [86]

Answer:

14.434 r.a.m.

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an element is a weighted average of its isotopes in which the sum of the abundance of each isotope is equal to 1 or 100%.

∵ The atomic mass of N = ∑(atomic mass of each isotope)(its abundance)

∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16)

atomic mass of N-14 = 14.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-14 = percent of N-14/100 = 78.3/100 = 0.783.

atomic mass of N-16 = 16.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-16 = percent of N-16/100 = 21.7/100 = 0.217.

∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16) = (14.0 r.a.m)(0.783) + (16.0 r.a.m)(0.217) = 14.434 r.a.m.

what is the molar mass of a gaseous flouride of sulfur containing 70.4% F and having a density of approximately 4.5g/L at 20 deg

zlopas [31]

Answer:

The molar mass is 180.2 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

% of F = 70.4 %

Density = 4.5 g/L

Temperature = 20 °C

Pressure = 1 atm

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles

PV = nRT

⇒ with P = the pressure = 1.00 atm

⇒ with V = the volume = Assume this is 1L

⇒ with n = the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ T = the temperature : 20°C = 293 Kelvin

1 atm*1L= n(0.08206 L-atm/mol-K)*(293 K)

n = 0.04159 moles

Step 3: Calculate molar mass

Molar mass = Mass / moles

4.5 grams / 0.04159 moles = 108.2 g/mol

Step 4: Calculate moles of F

Moles = Mass / molar mass

Moles F = 70.4 g / 19 g/mol

Moles F = 3.70 moles

Moles S = 29.6g / 32.07 g/mol

Moles S = 0.923 moles S

Step 5: Divide by the smallest amount of moles

F = 3.70 / 0.923 = 4

S = 0.923 / 0.923 = 1

The empirical formula is SF4

The molar mass of SF4 = 32.07 + 4*19 = 108.07 g/mol

This means the empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula SF4

The molar mass is 180.2 g/mol

Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes(Mg-24, Mg-25, and Mg-26). The atomic mass and natural abundance of Mg-24 are 23

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

Atomic mass Abundance

Mg -24 = 23.9850 79%

Mg -25 = 24.9858 10%

Mg - 26= ? ?

Process

1.- Find the abundance of Mg-26

The sum of the abundance of the three isotopes equals 100%

Abundance Mg-24 + Abundance-Mg-25 + Abundance-26 = 100

79 + 10 + Abundance-26 = 100

Abundance Mg-26 = 100 -89

Abundance Mg-26 = 11%

2.- Find the atomic mass of Mg-26, the average atomic mass is 24.31 amu

Average atomic mass = (abundance)(atomic mass- 24) + (abundance)

(atomic mass-25) + (abundance)(atomic mass-26)

24.31 = (0.79)(23.9850)+ (0.10)(24.9858) + (Atomic mass-26)(0.11)

24.31 = 18.94815 + 2.4986 + 0.11(atomic mass-26)

24.31 = 21.4342 + 0.11(atomic mass- 26)

0.11(atomic mass-26) = 24.31 - 21.4342

0.11(atomic mass-26) = 2.8758

Atomic mass-26 = 2.8758/0.11

Atomic mass-26 = 26.1436 amu
