What does the atomic weight of an element represent

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marrrta [24]2 years ago
7 0

The nuclei of atoms also contain neutrons, which help hold the nucleus together. ... The total weight of an atom is called the atomic weight. It is approximately equal to the number of protons and neutrons, with a little extra added by the electrons.


The mass of a given atom, measured on a scale in which the hydrogen atom has the weight of one. Because most of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus, and each proton and neutron has an atomic weight near one, the atomic weight is very nearly equal to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Why are most solid ionic compounds electrically nonconductive, whereas aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are good conductors
Allisa [31]

Answer:

there must be free-moving electrons in a compound to conduct electricity.

in solid ionic compounds, there are no free electrons so it can't conduct electricity.

But in aqueous form the forces of attraction are broken and the ions (cations and anions) are free to move. This means there are free electrons that allow the aqueous compound to conduct electricity.

Compare and contrast the positive and negative effects that result from the use of the Haber process.
Luda [366]

Answer: Positive effects: mass production of fertilizers, alkaline cleansers, refrigerant gas, dyes, explosives

Negative effects: heath problems, negative effects on soil organisms and soil organic matter,  imbalances to the nitrogen cycle, high fossil fuel energy inputs, production of deadly weapons

Explanation:

The Haber process (also called Haber Bosch process) is used to produce ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen under the high pressure. Basically, it's an artificial nitrogen fixation process. This method has both positive and negative effects on modern society.

Positive sides: ammonia is mainly used for mass production of fertilizer, which allows more food for everyone. It can be used for production of alkaline cleansers, refrigerant gas, dyes and explosives. Ammonia is also used in production of synthetic polymers, due to its role in the manufacturing of cyanide.

Negative sides: ammonia is a toxic gas, it can irritate eyes and lungs. Because of that, the excess nitrogen in soil and water coming from synthetic fertilizers can cause health problems. It is harmful for humans and animals, but it can also be harmful for plants. Environmental factors are also important. Because of the mass fixation, there is imbalance in the earth’s nitrogen cycle. Also, fossil fuels are used as a source of power for machinery in Haber's process, which increases emissions into the atmosphere. And, at least ammonia is a major component of weapons including great number of bombs.

Calculate each of the following quantities:<br> (a) Total number of ions in 38.1 g of SrF₂
adelina 88 [10]

The total number of ions in 38.1 g of SrF₂ is 5.479 x 10²³.

<h3>What are ions?</h3>

Ions are the elements with a charge on them. It happens when they share electrons with other atoms to form a compound.

We have to calculate the total number of ions in 38.1 g of .

The molar mass of SrF₂ = 125.62 g/mol

The number of moles = 38.1 g of  1.0 mol / 125.62  = 0.30329 moles

Given that, total moles of SrF₂ ions in  = 1.0 mol of + 2.0 moles of  = 3.0 moles

Total moles of ions in 0.30329 moles of

= (0.30329 moles of SrF₂) x 3.0 / 1.0  = 0.90988 mol ions

We know that,

1.0 mole of ions = 6.023 x 10²³ ions

Thus, the number of total ions = ( 0.90988 mol ions) x  6.023 x 10²³ / 1.0 mol = 5.479 x 10²³ ions

Thus, the number of ions is in 38.1 g of 5.479 x 10²³ ions
