Why don’t all of the particles in an atom contribute to the mass?

1 answer:

kotegsom [21]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of an atom is dependent on its number of protons and neutrons. Electrons have mass, but are too light in comparison to protons and neutrons to contribute towards the overall mass. Their relative mass is about 1/1840 compared to 1 for protons and neutrons, and therefore are not counted in the mass.

Hope this helped!

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Option A (0.043 g) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given:

= 43 mg

As we know,

$1 \ mg = \frac{1}{1000} \ g$

then,

⇒ $43 \ mg = \frac{43}{1000} \ g$

$= 0.043 \ g$

Thus, the above is the correct alternative.

Phosgene (COCl2) is a toxic substance that forms readily from carbon monoxide and chlorine at elevated temperatures: CO(g) + Cl2

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: Concentration of $CO$ = 0.328 M

Concentration of $Cl_2$ = 0.328 M

Concentration of $COCl_2$ = 0.532 M

Explanation:

Moles of $CO$ and $Cl_2$ = 0.430 mole

Volume of solution = 0.500 L

Initial concentration of $CO$ and $Cl_2$ = $\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.430}{0.500}=0.860M$

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$CO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)$

Initial conc. 0.860M 0.860M 0

At eqm. conc. (0.860-x) M (0.860-x) M (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

$K_c=\frac{[COCl_2]}{[CO][Cl_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

$4.95=\frac{x}{(0.860-x)^2}$

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x = 0.532 M

Thus, the concentrations of $CO,Cl_2\text{ and }COCl_2$ at equilibrium are :

Concentration of $CO$ = (0.860-x) M =(0.860-0.532) M = 0.328 M

Concentration of $Cl_2$ = (0.860-x) M = (0.860-0.532) M = 0.328 M

Concentration of $COCl_2$ = x M = 0.532 M
