Why is the mass in amu of a carbon-12 atom reported as 12.011 in the periodic table of the elements?

1 answer:

7 0

The mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table is the weighted average of all its naturally occurring isotopes.

Naturally occurring carbon is about

99 % carbon-12 (12.000 u) + 1 % carbon-13 (13.003 u).

That extra carbon-13 makes the <em>average atomic mass</em> greater than 12.000 u.

Answer:

CaCl2 + H2O Ca2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

Explanation:

CaCl2 + H2O Ca2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

When CaCl2 is dissolved in H2O (water) it will dissociate (dissolve) into Ca+2 and Cl- ions.

The dissolution of calcium chloride is an exothermic process.

A researcher dilutes 30.0 ml of ethanol to 300.0 ml with distilled water. what is the percentage concentration by volume of the

Len [333]

Answer: 9.09 %

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage concentration by volume, we use the formula:

$\text{Volume percent of solution}=\frac{\text{Volume of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution}}\times 100$

Volume of ethanol (solute) = 30 ml

Volume of water (solvent) = 300 ml

Volume of solution= volume of solute + volume of solution = 30+ 300 = 330 ml

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Volume percent of solution}=\frac{30}{30+300}\times 100=9.09\%$

Hence, the volume percent of solution will be 9.09 %.
