What is the difference between the mass number for carbon- 14 and carbon's atomic number of 12.011 amu

1 answer:

7 0

Great question, but I believe you are mixing up atomic number with mass number. Assuming you are, 12.011 amu is the average mass of a carbon atom. For carbon, it can come in three forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. The number following carbon is the mass number of that particular carbon "isotope". The reason the average is so close to 12 is because carbon-12 is by far the most common, so the average should be (and is) very close to 12. Therefore, 12.011 is a weighted average of all carbon molecules, and carbon-14 is a particular carbon molecule that weighs 14 amu.

For a different reaction, the plot of the reciprocal of concentration versus time in seconds was linear with a slope of 0.056 M-

Bond [772]

Answer:

$C_t=0.165M$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Slope $K=0.056 M-1 s -1$

initial Concentration $C_1=2.2M$

Time $t=100$

Generally the equation for Raw law is mathematically given by

$\frac{1}{C}_t=kt+\frac{1}{C}_0$

$\frac{1}{C}_t=0.056*100+\frac{1}{2.2}_0$

$C_t=0.165M$

I need to do a project about carbon dioxide is there a safe way to capture it ??/

kramer

Yes. Exhale into a jar.
That's a hella ratchet way to capture CO2, but it works nonetheless

Will a precipitate of magnesium fluoride form when 300. mL of 1.1 × 10 –3 M MgCl 2 are added to 500. mL of 1.2 × 10 –3 M NaF? [K

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

No precipitate is formed.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the dissociation reaction of magnesium fluoride:

$MgF_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Mg^{2+}+2F^-$

And the undergoing chemical reaction:

$MgCl_2+2NaF\rightarrow MgF_2+2NaCl$

We need to compute the yielded moles of magnesium fluoride, but first we need to identify the limiting reactant for which we compute the available moles of magnesium chloride:

$n_{MgCl_2}=0.3L*1.1x10^{-3}mol/L=3.3x10^{-4}molMgCl_2$

Next, the moles of magnesium chloride consumed by the sodium fluoride:

$n_{MgCl_2}^{consumed}=0.5L*1.2x10^{-3}molNaF/L*\frac{1molCaCl_2}{2molNaF} =3x10^{-4}molMgCl_2$

Thus, less moles are consumed by the NaF, for which the moles of formed magnesium fluoride are:

$n_{MgF_2}=3x10^{-4}molMgCl_2*\frac{1molMgF_2}{1molMgCl_2}=3x10^{-4}molMgF_2$

Next, since the magnesium fluoride to magnesium and fluoride ions is in a 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratio, the concentrations of such ions are:

$[Mg^{2+}]=\frac{3x10^{-4}molMg^{+2}}{(0.3+0.5)L} =3.75x10^{-4}M$

$[F^-]=\frac{2*3x10^{-4}molMg^{+2}}{(0.3+0.5)L} =7.5x10^{-4}M$

Thereby, the reaction quotient is:

$Q=(3.75x10^{-4})(7.5x10^{-4})^2=2.11x10^{-10}$

In such a way, since Q<Ksp we say that the ions tend to be formed, so no precipitate is formed.

Regards.

A flask containing helium gas is connected to an open-ended mercury manometer. The open end is exposed to the atmosphere, where

stepladder [879]

Answer:

726 torr

Explanation:

Generally, atmospheric pressure can be measured using a manometer which is in form of a U-shaped tube. In addition, 1 mm Hg is equivalent to 1 torr. Therefore, 752 torr is equivalent to 752 mm Hg. Therefore, the total pressure will be equivalent to the atmospheric pressure (mm Hg) + the mercury height.

In this case, the mercury height = -26 mm

Thus:

The helium pressure = 752 - 26 = 726 mm Hg

This is also equivalent to 726 torr
