Pls assist if you can.Reasons why hydrogen was chosen as a standard reference to other elements

Chemistry
1 answer:
MrMuchimi3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Hydrogen either reacts with or is formed by reactions with many other elements, so chemists could use it directly to determine their relative masses.
  • Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass, so it was convenient to give H a relative atomic mass of 1 and assign those of other elements as multiples of this number.

The O = 16 scale became the standard in 1903 and carbon-12 was chosen in 1961.

What mass of octane must be burned in order to liberate 5270 kj of heat? δhcomb = -5471 kj/mol?
katrin2010 [14]
As,
                           5471 kJ heat is given by  =  1 mole of Octane
Then,
                    5310 kJ heat will be given by  = X moles of Octane

Solving for X,
                                  X  =  (5310 kJ × 1 mol) ÷ 5471 kJ

                                  X  =  0.970 moles of Ocatne

So, 0.970 moles of Octane will liberate 5310 kJ energy. Now changing moles to mass,
As,
                                  Moles  =  mass / M.mass
Or,
                                  Mass  =  Moles × M.mass
Putting values,
                                  Mass  =  0.970 mol × 114.23 g/mol

                                  Mass  =  110.83 g of Octane

What are particles that differ in number between isotopes
balandron [24]

Answer:

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons and electrons. The difference in the number of neutrons between the various isotopes of an element means that the various isotopes have different masses.

The pressure of 5.00 L of gas increases from 1.50 atm to 1240 mmHg. What is the final volume of the gas, assuming constant tempe
Vsevolod [243]
(P1)(V1)=(P2)(V2)
(1.50)(5.00)=(1240/760)(V2)
(7.5)/(1240/760)=V2
V2=4.596774194 L
