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

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.

What is the molarity of a 1.44 (m/v)% solution of an HCOOOH (Formic acid)?
AlexFokin [52]

This problem is providing the mass-volume percent of a formic acid solution so its molarity is required and found to be 0.313 M after the following calculations.

<h3>Molarity</h3>

In chemistry, units of concentration provide a measurable understanding of the relationship between the relative amounts of both solute and solvent. In the case of molarity, one must relate moles of solute and liters of solution as follows:

M=\frac{mol\ solute}{Volume\ solution \ in \ L}

In such a way, when given this mass-volume percent of 1.44% for the formic acid in the solution, one can assume there is 100 mL of solution and 1.44 g of solute (formic acid), which means one must convert the volume to liters and the mass to moles with:

mol\ solute=\frac{1.44g}{46.03g/mol} =0.0313mol\\\\Volume\ in \liters: 100mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}=0.100L

Finally, we plug in these numbers in the equation for the calculation of molarity:

M=\frac{0.0313mol}{0.100L}\\\\M=0.313M

Explain your observations in term of how tempurature affects paritcle motion and how liquid changes to a solid
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Temperature is defined as a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body.

When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases as the temperature increases; hence the particles of the substance moves faster with increasing temperature.

When heat is withdrawn from a liquid, the temperature decreases and the average kinetic energy of the molecules decreases. The molecules become less energetic hence the liquid changes into solid

How would you prepare 10 ml of a 0.25% m/v hcl solution if 1% m/v hcl was available? how much 1% m/v hcl is needed? how much dis
Fed [463]

To solve this we use the equation, 

M1V1 = M2V2

where M1 is the concentration of the stock solution, V1 is the volume of the stock solution, M2 is the concentration of the new solution and V2 is its volume.

M1V1 = M2V2

1% x V1 = 0.25% x 10 mL

V1 =2.5 mL

Therefore, you will need to have 2.5 mL of the 1% HCl solution and 7.5 mL of distilled water. In mixing the two liquids, you should remember that the order of mixing would be acid to water. So, you use a 10 mL volumetric flask . Put small amount of distilled water and add the 2.5 mL of HCl solution. Lastly, dilute with distilled water up to the 10 mL mark.
