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.

1. A volume of 120.0 liters of a gas is prepared at a pressure of 400.0 mm Hg and a temperature
Olegator [25]

Answer:

V_2=2487.9L

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the final volume by using the combined ideal gas:

\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}=\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}

In such a way, by solving for the final volume, V2, we obtain:

V_2=\frac{P_1V_1T_2}{P_2T_1} \\\\

Now, by plugging in the pressures, temperatures in Kelvins and initial volume, we will obtain:

V_2=\frac{(400.0mmHg)(120.0L)(283.15K)}{(20.0mmHg)(273.15K)}\\\\V_2=2487.9L

Regards!

Monel metal is a corrosion-resistant copper-nickel alloy used in the electronics industry. A particular alloy with a density of
klemol [59]
<span>To find the volume of the plate without accounting for the hole firstly
V = (15.0 cm)(12.5 cm)(0.250 cm) = 46.875 cm^3
and the volume of the hole is
(pi)(1.25 cm)^2(0.250 cm) = 1.2272 cm^3
we will subtract the volume of the hole from the rest 45.648 cm^3
the multiply this by the density of the alloy to find the mass
(8.80 g/cm^3)(45.648 cm^3) = 401.701 g.
0.044% of this is Si, so (0.00044)(401.701 g) = 0.17675 g is silicon.
by the number of atoms and using average atomic mass of silicon and Avogadro's number to find the number of silicon atoms:
(0.17675 g)(1 mol/28.0855 g)(6.022E23 atoms/1 mol) =3.794E21atoms of Si
3.10% of these are Si-30:(0.0310)(3.794E18 atoms)=1.176E20 atoms of Si-30 and with two significant figures, 1.2E20 atoms.
hope this helps
