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.

How many moles of oxygen gas are there in 395 L of oxygen at STP?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

17.6 moles of oxygen gas.

Explanation:

STP Variables:

P=1 atm

R=0.082

T=273 K

Use the PV=nRT, then plug in.

n=PV/RT

n= (1 atm)(395 L)/(0.082) (273 K)

Simplify.

n=17.6 moles of O2

Hoped this helped.

How would you prepare a 1 L solution of 3 M MgO?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:  175.35g

Explanation:  A 3 M solution has 3 moles of solute per litre.

The mass of one mole of NaCl equals the MW of NaCl MW =  35.45 + 23 =58.45 g/mol

The mass of 3 moles is 58.45 g/mol ×3 mol=175.35 g NaCl  or  200 g rounded to one sigfig.

Which statement correctly explains whether or not this equation is a balanced equation? KMnO4 + HCl → KCl + MnCl2 + H2O + Cl2
boyakko [2]
The correct answer is A. The equation is not balanced because the number of atoms of each element on the left is not equal to their numbers on the right. 

There is 1 chlorine atom on the left. However, there are 5 chlorine atoms on the right.
There is 1 hydrogen atom on the left, but 2 hydrogen atoms on the right.
There are 4 oxygen atoms on the left, but 1 oxygen atom on the right
There is 1 manganese atom on the left and right side of the equation.
There is also 1 potassium atom on the left and right side.

The equation is clearly not balanced.
