What percentage of the mass of a carbon-12 atom is

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

% of mass of electrons in C = 0.0272

Explanation:

Atomic no. of carbon = 6

So, no. of electron = 6

Mass of an electron = \frac{1}{1836} amu

Mass of 6 electrons = 6 \times \frac{1}{1836} = 0.003268 amu

Mass of C = 12.0107 u

% of mass of electrons in C = \frac{Mass\ of\ all\ electrons}{Mass\ of\ C}\times 100

% of mass of electrons in C = \frac{0.003268}{12.0107}\times 100=0.0272 \%

What generalizations can be made about silver halides?
hichkok12 [17]
Halides is the term given to the ions of halogens. Halogens are the second-to-the-last column or period in the periodic table. Examples are chlorine, fluorine, bromine and iodine. Halides are all soluble in water except when combine with silver, lead and mercury. <em>Therefore, the generalization we can make is that silver halides are insoluble in water,</em>

Use the amount (mol) of solute and amount (mol) of solvent to calculate the mole fraction. An aqueous solution of ethanol, CH3CH
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

%m/m = 0.9975%

Xₐ = 0.0039

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need various data. First to all, we need tje molecular mass of the ethanol. this can be obtained in handbooks, or simply taking the atomic weights of carbon (12 g/mol), Hydrogen (1 g/mol) and oxygen (16 g/mol) and summing those values:

MM C₂H₆O = (2*12) + (6*1) + (16*1) = 46 g/mol

Now, there is an expression that is commonly used to determine the molarity of a solution given the mass percent and density, and assuming of course, 1 liter of solution:

M = d * %m/m * 1000 / MM * 100     (1)

From here, we can solve for %m/m:

%m/m = M * MM * 100 / d * 1000

As the problem is not saying the volume of solution, we can easily assume we have 1 liter of solution. Therefore, the %m/m replacing the given data is:

%m/m = 0.216 *46 * 100 / 0.996 * 1000

<h2>%m/m = 0.9975%</h2>

To get the mole fraction, we first need to get the volume of solvent. From the density, we can get the mass of solution:

m = V * d

m = 1000 * 0.996 = 996 g of solution.

The mass of solute is:

m = 0.216 mol/L * 46 g/mol

m = 9.936 g/L, or simply we have 9.936 g of ethanol in 1 L of solution.

The mass of solvent:

solvent = 996 - 9.936 = 986.064 g

The molecular mass of water, so we can get the moles is 18 g/mol so:

moles water = 986.064 / 18 = 54.78

Finally the mole fraction:

Xₐ = 0.216 / (0.216 + 54.78)

<h2>Xₐ = 0.0039</h2>

Hope this helps
