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: 4.1 g of barium precipitated.

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar Mass}}$

Given : moles of barium = 0.030

Molar mass of barium = 137 g/mol

$0.030=\frac{x}{137}$

x= 4.1 g

Thus there are 4.1 g of barium that precipitated.
