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.

Balance Na + SO3 = Na2SO3

Orlov [11]

2 Na + SO3 = Na2SO3

Na = 1
SO3 = 1
Na2SO3 = 1

Na = 2
SO3 = 1
Na2SO3 = 1

I hope this helps!!

Calculate the mass of vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5) that contains a million (1.0 *10^6) vanadium atoms. Be sure your answer has a uni

sweet [91]

Answer : The mass of vanadium(V) oxide will be $1.51\times 10^{-16}g$

Explanation : Given,

Number of atoms of $V_2O_5$ = $1.0\times 10^{6}$

Molar mass of $V_2O_5$ = 181.88 g/mole

In $V_2O_5$ , there are 2 atoms of vanadium and 5 atoms of oxygen.

First we have to determine the moles of $V_2O_5$ .

As, $2\times 6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of vanadium atom present in 1 moles of $V_2O_5$

So, $1.0\times 10^{6}$ number of vanadium atom present in $\frac{1.0\times 10^{6}}{2\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}=8.3\times 10^{-19}$ moles of $V_2O_5$

Now we have to determine the mass of $V_2O_5$ .

$\text{Mass of }V_2O_5=\text{Moles of }V_2O_5\times \text{Molar mass of }V_2O_5$

$\text{Mass of }V_2O_5=(8.3\times 10^{-19}mole)\times (181.88g/mole)=1.51\times 10^{-16}g$

Therefore, the mass of vanadium(V) oxide will be $1.51\times 10^{-16}g$

Calculate the mass of 20.0 moles of sc<br>

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

900g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of Sc = 20moles

Unknown:

Mass of Sc = ?

Solution:

To find the mass of the scandium given, we use the expression below:

Mass = Number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of Sc = 45g/mol

So;

Mass of Sc = 20 x 45 = 900g
