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.

How many half-lives would something have gone through if you had 75% daughter product and 25% parent?

levacccp [35]

Answer:

Two Half-lives

Explanation:

Let number of Parent nuclei Initially present be X,

Then, finally $\frac{X}{4}$ Parent nuclei Will remain with $\frac{3X}{4}$ daughter nuclei.

In one half- life , parent nuclei becomes half of initial.

So, starting with X parent nuclei,

After one half-life, it will degrade to $\frac{X}{2}$ .

After another half life , Parent nuclei will become half of $\frac{X}{2}$

Which is equal to $\frac{X}{4}$ .

So, Parent nuclei have to go through Two half-lives.

A solution made by mixing 20.0 g of a non-volatile compound with 125 mL of water at 25°C has a vapor pressure of 22.67 torr. Wha

Ainat [17]

We have that the molecular weight (3sf) of the compound (g/mol)

$m=44.15g/mol$

From the question we are told

A solution made by mixing 20.0 g of a non-volatile compound with 125 mL of water at 25°C has a vapor pressure of 22.67 torr. What is the molecular weight (3sf) of the compound (g/mol).

Generally the equation for the Rouault's law is mathematically given as

P=P_0 N

$22.67=23.8*\frac{\frac{12.5}{18}}{\frac{125}{18}+\frac{15}{m}}\\\\\6.95+\frac{15}{m}=7.29\\\\\frac{15}{m}=7.29-6.95\\\\m=\frac{15}{0.34}\\\\m=44.11g/mol$

Therefore

The molecular weight (3sf) of the compound (g/mol)

$m=44.15g/mol$
