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

Decide which element probably has a boiling point most and least similar to the boiling point of cesium.
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Take a look at the attachment below

Explanation:

Take a look at the periodic table. As you can see, Rubidium is the closest element to Cesium, and happens to have the closest boiling point to Cesium, with only a difference of about 30 degrees.

Respectively, you would think that fluorine should have the least similarity to Cesium with respect to it's boiling point, considering it is the farthest away from the element out of the 4 given. This is not an actual rule, there are no fixed trends of boiling points in the periodic table, there are some but overall the trends vary. However in this case fluorine does have the least similarity to Cesium with respect to it's boiling point, a difference of about 1,546.6 degrees.

<em>Hope that helps!</em>
