Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic unit of mass (a.m.u) is the unit used to compare the relative masses of atoms. An atomic mass unit is a twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

The calculation of the molecular mass of a compound is done by adding the relative atomic masses of the atoms of the formula of said substance, taking into account its abundance in the compound. The atomic mass of the atoms that make up the molecule are obtained in the Periodic Table.

So,  in these cases you have:

  • <u><em>BrN₃:</em></u>

You know the atomic masses of the elements that make up the molecule, obtained from the periodic table:

Br: 79.9 amu

N: 14 amu

I take into account the abundance of each element in the compound you get:

<em><u>BrN₃=79.9 amu + 3* 14 amu= 121.9 amu</u></em>

  • <u><em>C₂H₆:</em></u>

You know the atomic masses of the elements that make up the molecule, obtained from the periodic table:

C: 12 amu

H: 1 amu

I take into account the abundance of each element in the compound you get:

<u><em>C₂H₆= 2*12 amu + 6*1 amu= 30 amu</em></u>

  • <u><em>NF₂:</em></u>

You know the atomic masses of the elements that make up the molecule, obtained from the periodic table:

N: 14 amu

F: 19 amu

I take into account the abundance of each element in the compound you get:

<em><u>NF₂= 14 amu + 2*19 amu= 52 amu</u></em>

  • <u><em>Al₂S₃:</em></u>

You know the atomic masses of the elements that make up the molecule, obtained from the periodic table:

Al: 27 amu

S: 32 amu

I take into account the abundance of each element in the compound you get:

<em><u>Al₂S₃= 2*27 amu + 3*32 amu= 150 amu</u></em>

  • <u><em>Fe(NO₃)₃:</em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>You know the atomic masses of the elements that make up the molecule, obtained from the periodic table:

Fe: 55.85 amu

N: 14 amu

O: 16 amu

I take into account the abundance of each element in the compound you get:

Fe(NO₃)₃= 55.85 amu + 3*(14 amu + 3*16 amu)= 241.85 amu

  • <u><em>Mg₃N₂:</em></u>

You know the atomic masses of the elements that make up the molecule, obtained from the periodic table:

N: 14 amu

Mg: 24 amu

I take into account the abundance of each element in the compound you get:

<u><em>Mg₃N₂= 3*24 amu + 2*14 amu= 100 amu</em></u>

  • <u><em>(NH₄)₂CO₃:</em></u>

You know the atomic masses of the elements that make up the molecule, obtained from the periodic table:

N: 14 amu

H: 1 amu

C: 12 amu

O: 16 amu

I take into account the abundance of each element in the compound you get:

<em><u>(NH₄)₂CO₃: 2*(14 amu + 4*1 amu) + 12 amu+3*16 amu= 96 amu</u></em>

Answer:

Shown below

Explanation:

a) for BrN3

80+3(14)=122amu

b) forC2H6

2(12) + 6(1) = 30amu

C) for NF2

14+2(19) = 52amu

D) Al2S3

2(27) + 3(32)= 150amu

E) for Fe(NO3)3

56 + 3 [14+3(16)] =242amu

F) Mg3N2

3(24) + 2(14)= 100amu

G) for (NH4)2CO3

2[14 +4(1)] +12 +3(16)=96amu

Which of the following conditions would speed up the rate of decomposition? (Select
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

E and B

Explanation:

the warmer the weather the faster it will decompose, this why is why sometimes bodies last longer frozen, or in cool temperatures.

that statement takes a out.

An illness shouldn't effect a decomposing body

Weight also shouldn't effect a decomposing body

Being buried can make bodies decompose fast because of all the bugs and other animals that will get down there and decompose it faster
