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.

A chemist has synthesized two new dyes based on the molecular structure of plant-based dyes. The lowest energy absorption line f
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

1. The dye that absorbs at 530 nm.

Explanation:

The dye will absorb light to promote the transition of an electron from the HOMO to the LUMO orbital.

The higher the gap, the higher the energy of transition. The energy can be calculated by E = hc/λ, in which h and c are constants and λ is the wavelength.

The equation shows that the higher the energy, the higher the gap and the lower the wavelength.

Therefore, the dye with absorption at 530 nm has the higher HOMO-LUMO gap.

What is the function of a Mitochondrion​
gladu [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Function. The mitochondrion is the site of ATP synthesis for the cell. The number of mitochondria found in a cell are therefore a good indicator of the cell's rate of metabolic activity; cells which are very metabolically active, such as hepatocytes, will have many mitochondria.

Convert 5.4g of NaCl to moles
sammy [17]

Answer:

.0924 moles of NaCl

Explanation:

So you know you have 5.4 g of NaCl and you need to know how many moles there are in this amount of NaCl

  1. You'll need to find the atomic mass of the compound NaCl to help you solve for moles
  • Sodium (Na) on the periodic table has a mass of 22.99
  • Chlorine (Cl) on the periodic table has a mass of 35.45

Add these two together----> 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44

Now you can calculate for moles

<u>Written-out method:</u>

<u>5.4 grams of NaCl  |   1 mole of  NaCl              </u>

                                | 58.44 grams NaCl                = .0924 moles of NaCl

<u>Plug into calculator method:</u>

(5.4 g of NaCl/ 58.44g NaCl= .0925 moles)
