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

What evidence do you need to determine that two rocks have some similar minerals because the minerals from the original rock was
klio [65]

Answer:

It comes from same parent material.

Explanation:

The two rocks have some similar minerals which indicates that they are comes from the same parent material but with the passage of time it is mixed with other minerals due to which they are some different in composition from one another so we can conclude that they comes from the same parent material due to the presence of some similar minerals.

Write the molecular formula for the following compound.<br>​
Sholpan [36]

Answer : The molecular formula of the compound is, C_8H_9O_3N

Explanation :

Molecular formula : It is the representation of substance by the symbols and it denotes the number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Now count the number of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen atoms present in the given compound.

As we see that in the given compound, there are 8 atoms of carbon element, 3 atoms of oxygen element, 1 atom of nitrogen element, 9 atoms of hydrogen element.

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound will be C_8H_9O_3N

A bottle is partly filled with liquid water, sealed shut, and then placed under a heat lamp. The volume of the liquid water even
ANTONII [103]

Because the rate at which water vapour condenses gets increase slowly to get equal to the rate of evaporation of the water.

Explanation:

When a bottle is partly filled with liquid water is leaves space for vapours to escape and get condensed equally.

When sealed and kept below the lamp the rate of condensation increases due to the empty space in the bottle for getting vapours cool down.

A point arrives when evaporation equates the condensation of the liquid in bottle becomes stable because vapours cannot pass the bottle eventually condense and become liquid.
