When measuring copper that is collected on a filter paper, the mass measurement obtained will include both the mass of the filter paper and copper.
therefore we have to find the mass of the empty filter paper before copper is on the paper.
the mass of the filter paper alone is 0.27 g
then the mass of copper and filter paper is 0.98 g
therefore to find the mass of copper alone we have to take the difference between the 2 masses
mass of copper = (mass of copper + filter paper ) - mass of filter paper
= 0.98 g - 0.27 g
mass of copper = 0.71 g
An element's mass is determined by <span> adding up the </span>masses <span>of protons and neutrons.</span>
When non-metal atoms ionize they gain electrons.<span> Some examples of this are the halogen elements: F, Cl, Br and I, each, can gain one electron from the respective anions, F-, Cl-, Br-, and I-. O and S, may gain two electrons to form the anions O2- and S2-. This is due to the fact that those elements only need one (in the case of the halogens) or two (in the case of O and S) electrons to reach the most stable configuration of the closest noble gas (with the last shell of electrons full), so they are ready to gain those electrons and form the corresponding ions.</span>
Llowing certain substances to pass through it but not others, especially allowing the passage of a solvent but not of certain solutes.
