Answer:

The given atom is of Ca.

Explanation:

Given data:

Speed of atom = 1% of speed of light

De-broglie wavelength = 3.31×10⁻³ pm (3.31×10⁻³ / 10¹² = 3.31×10⁻¹⁵ m)

What is element = ?

Solution:

Formula:

m = h/λv

m = mass of particle

h  = planks constant

v = speed of particle

λ = wavelength

Now we will put the values in formula.

m = h/λv

m = 6.63×10⁻³⁴kg. m².s⁻¹/3.31×10⁻¹⁵ m ×( 1/100)×3×10⁸ m/s

m = 6.63×10⁻³⁴kg. m².s⁻¹/ 0.099×10⁻⁷m²/s

m = 66.97×10⁻²⁷ Kg/atom

or

6.69×10⁻²⁶ Kg/atom

Now here we will use the Avogadro number.

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

Now in given problem,

6.69×10⁻²⁶ Kg/atom × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/ mol × 1000 g/ 1kg

40.3×10⁻³×10³g/mol

40.3  g/mol

So the given atom is of Ca.

Indicate the number of significant figures in the following measured numbers:
inysia [295]

Answer: a = 2 ; f = 5 ; b = 2 ; g = 2 ; c = 2 ; h = 2 ; d = 4 ; i = 5 ; e = 3 ; j = 7

Explanation: Some rules to follow while calculating sig figs is

1. If a number like 4500 is present, only two sig figs are counted, but none of the zeros are, but if 4500. has a decimal point present, then you should count all the numbers available.

2. If a number like .0005 is present, only count 5 as a sig fig, however if the number is .00050, count the 0 after the 5 in this example (this would then have two sig figs.

How many reactant molecules and product gas molecules are in this equation?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

N₂  = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

H₂ = 18.066 × 10²³ molecules

NH₃ = 12.044 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Chemical equation;

N₂ + 3H₂     →  2NH₃

It can be seen that there are one mole of nitrogen three mole of hydrogen and two moles of ammonia are present in this equation. The number of molecules of reactant and product would be calculated by using Avogadro number.

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

Number of molecules of nitrogen gas:

1 mol = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

Number of molecules of hydrogen:

3 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/ 1 mol

18.066 × 10²³ molecules

Number of molecules of ammonia:

2 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/ 1 mol

12.044 × 10²³ molecules

Is atomic weight a whole number or not a whole number
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Atomic mass of an element is not a whole number because It contains isotopes. For example, chlorine has two isotopes 1735Cl and 1737Cl with natural abundances in the approximate ratio of 3:1. Hence, the average atomic mass of chlorine is approximately 35.5 g/mol.

Hope this helps! If so please mark brainliest and rate/heart if it did to help my account out!!
