A compound is 57.1% oxygen and the remainder carbon. using oxygen as the standard (16 amu) and assuming a 1:1 atom ratio, calcul
Delicious77 [7]
Let's start with the amount given in percent. Let our basis be 100 grams of compound. So, that means that in this amount, 57.1 g is oxygen and 100-57.1=42.9 g is carbon. Since there is 1:1 atom ratio, it also means that moles oxygen = moles carbon.

Moles = Mass/Relative Mass
Let x be the relative mass of oxygen

57.1/16 = 42.9/x
Solving for x,
<em>x = 12.02 amu</em>

What is the mass of an atom that has 9 protons, 11 neutrons, and 10 electrons
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: By looking at the periodic table, you will see that Fluorine has 9 protons. Since the number of electrons equal the number of protons, Fluorine has 9 electrons as well. Meanwhile, it's mass number of 19, minus 10 neutrons, gives you 9 protons or electrons. Hence, the atom would be Fluorine.
