Answer:

The relative mass of carbon would be A_{r,C}  = \frac{12}{0.282}=42.62\, amu

Explanation:

The amu is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a ^{12}C atom, thus according to the definition, the relative mass of carbon is exactly 12. If the definition of the AMU changed, we could calculate what the new relative mass is by dividing the relative mass of ^{12}C  by the mass of the new AMU in old AMUs.

The atomic weight of Phosphorus is 30.973, therefore  an amu would be \frac{30.973}{110}=0.282  in old AMUs, if the atomic weight of carbon is 12.00, then in the new amu:

A_{r,C}  = \frac{12}{0.282}=42.62\, amu

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

16:1

Explanation:

Atoms of element X weigh 32 times more than atoms of element Y. We can write this in a symbolic way.

mX = 32 mY   [1]

where,

  • mX and mY are the masses of X and Y, respectively

A compound has the formula: XY₂, that is, in 1 molecule of XY₂ there is 1 atom of X and 2 atoms of Y. The ratio of the mass of X to the mass of Y in this compound equals:

mX/2 mY  [2]

If we substitute [1] in [2], we get:

mX/2 mY = 32 mY/2 mY = 16 = 16:1

You find a compound composed only of element X and chlorine and you know that the compound is 13.10% X by mass. Each molecule of
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

So, the formula for the compound should be:

XCl_{6}

Now we assume that we have 1 mol of substance, so we can make calculations to know the molar mass of element X, as follows:

M_{Cl}=35.45g/mol\\

So we have that 6 moles weight 212.7g, and we can make a rule of three to know the weight of compound X:

212.7g\rightarrow 86.9\%\\x\rightarrow 13.1\%\\\\x=\frac{212.7g*13.1}{86.9} =32.06g

As we used 1 mol, we know that the molar mass is 32.06g/mol

So the element has a molar mass of 32.06 g/mol and an oxidation state of +6, with this information, we can assure that the element X is sulfur, so the compound is SCl_{6}
