Why are atomic masses on the Periodic Table written in decimals when they are based on mass numbers that can be whole numbers?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]3 years ago
8 0
To allow for equations and problems in chemistry to be as precise as possible. When experiments are conducted, and even if the number is the slightest bit off, the problem or experiment could be impacted very negatively. It allows for complete accuracy to ensure nothing goes wrong, since chemistry is very touchy and risky when dealing with extremely unsafe elements.

when the following redoc reaction is balances (assume acidic solution), how many moles of water appear and on what side
PolarNik [594]

8 moles of water on the right side.

An oxidation-reduction or redox reaction is a reaction that involves the transfer of electrons between chemical items (the atoms, ions, or molecules involved in the reaction).

Redox reactions: the burning of fuels, the corrosion of metals, and even the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration involve oxidation and reduction.

Step 1:

MnO4- ----> Mn2+

2Cl- ------> Cl2

Step 2:

MnO4- --> Mn2+ + 4H2O

2Cl- -----> Cl2

Step 3:

8H+ + MnO4- ------> Mn2+ + 4H2O

2Cl- ----->Cl2

Step 4:

8H+ + MnO4- +5e- ------>Mn2+ + 4H2O

2Cl- ----> Cl2+ 2e-

Step 5:

16 H+ +2 MnO4- +10Cl- ----->2 Mn2+ + 8H2O+5Cl2

This is the balanced equation in an acidic medium.

That is 8, right side.

On melting of ice , there is a decrease in volume instead of increase . Why ?
Oliga [24]
Because of the crystal structure of the ice, ice has lower density than liquid water. So the volume of the ice of same mass is greater than water. When melting, the volume will decrease.

Help needed urgently<br>the word missing or partially seen is oxygen ​ I forgot to put more pointa
butalik [34]

Explanation:

2.04 % hydrogen

32.65% sulphur

65.31% is oxygen

atomic ratio

hydrogen =2.04÷1=2.04

sulphur =32.65÷32=1.02

oxygen =65.31÷16=4.08

simplest ratio

hydrogen = 2.04÷1.02=2

sulphur =1.02÷1.02=1

oxygen =4.08÷1.02=4

empirical formula is H2SO4
