What does the atomic weight of an element represent

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marrrta [24]3 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.

Write a balanced redox equation for the reaction that occurs cr dissolves in 1 m h2cr2o7.
galben [10]
When Cr dissolves in 1 M H₂Cr₂O₇
Cr(s) ⇄ Cr³⁺ + 3 e⁻
Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 14 H⁺ + 6 e⁻ ⇄ 2 Cr³⁺ + 7 H₂O
by multiplying the first equation by 2 and add the 2 equations;
The balanced redox reaction will be:
2 Cr(s) + Cr₂O₇²⁻(aq) + 14 H⁺(aq) → 4 Cr³⁺(aq) + 7 H₂O(l)

What is the coefficient for oh−(aq) when s2−(aq) no3−(aq) → s(s) no(g) is balanced in basic aqueous solution?
omeli [17]

From the balanced redox equation of the reaction, the coefficient of OH⁻ is 8.

<h3>What is the balanced redox equation of the reaction?</h3>

A redox equation is the equation of a redox reaction in which oxidation and reduction occurs simultaneously.

The given redox reaction takes place in a basic solution

The balanced redox equation of the reaction is given below:

4 H₂O(l) + 3 S²⁻(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) ---> 3 S(s) + 2 NO + 8 OH⁻(aq)

In conclusion, a redox equation is balanced when oxidation and reduction occur to the same extent.

"calculate the h+ in a solution that has a ph of 8.73"
alexdok [17]
The  H+   in  a  solution  that  has  a Ph  of  8.73   is   calculate    as  follows

Ph is always =   -  log  (H+)

H+  =    10^-Ph

H+  is  therefore  =  10 ^-  8.73
H+  =  1.86  x10^-9  M
