Answer:
The molarity (M) of the following solutions are :
A. M = 0.88 M
B. M = 0.76 M
Explanation:
A. Molarity (M) of 19.2 g of Al(OH)3 dissolved in water to make 280 mL of solution.
Molar mass of Al(OH)3 = Mass of Al + 3(mass of O + mass of H)
= 27 + 3(16 + 1)
= 27 + 3(17) = 27 + 51
= 78 g/mole
= 78 g/mole
Given mass= 19.2 g/mole
Moles = 0.246
Volume = 280 mL = 0.280 L
Molarity = 0.879 M
Molarity = 0.88 M
B .The molarity (M) of a 2.6 L solution made with 235.9 g of KBr
Molar mass of KBr = 119 g/mole
Given mass = 235.9 g
Moles = 1.98
Volume = 2.6 L
Molarity = 0.762 M
Molarity = 0.76 M
Answer:
C. The mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or
a neutron.
Explanation:
When we compare the mass of an electron to that of proton or neutron, the mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or a neutron.
Electrons are negatively charged particles in an atom
Protons are positively charged particles
Neutrons do not carry any charges.
- The relative mass of an electron compared to that of a proton is
- This is a very small value
- Electrons generally have mass of 9.11 x 10⁻³¹kg
- Protons weigh 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg
- Neutrons weigh 1.68 x 10⁻²⁷kg
We can see that electrons have very small mass and this is why when calculating the mass of an atom, we use the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.
