Why is measuring the size of an atom difficult

Chemistry

<span>Atomic size is the distance from the nucleus to the valence shell where the valence electrons are located. Atomic size is difficult to measure because it has no definite boundary. The electrons surrounding the nucleus exist in an electron cloud.

A sample of pure lithium chloride contains 16% lithium by mass. What is the % lithium by mass in a sample of pure lithium carbon
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Percentage lithium by mass in Lithium carbonate sample = 19.0%

Explanation:

Atomic mass of lithium = 7.0 g; atomic mass of Chlorine = 35.5 g; atomic mass of carbon = 12.0 g; atomic mass of oxygen = 16.0 g

Molar mass of lithium chloride, LiCl = 7 + 35.5 = 42.5 g

Percentage by mass of lithium in LiCl = (7/42.5) * 100% = 16.4 % aproximately 16%

Molar mass of lithium carbonate, Li₂CO₃ = 7 * 2 + 12 + 16 * 3 =74.0 g

Percentage by mass of lithium in Li₂CO₃ = (14/74) * 100% = 18.9 % approximately 19%

Mass of Lithium carbonate sample = 2 * 42.5 = 85.0 g

mass of lithium in 85.0 g Li₂CO₃ = 19% * 85.0 g = 16.15 g

Percentage by mass of lithium in 85.0 g Li₂CO₃ = (16.15/85.0) * 100 % = 19.0%

Percentage lithium by mass in Lithium carbonate sample = 19.0%

How does a battery become depleted or out of charge? * -the number of protons and electrons at both terminals are not equal -the
kompoz [17]

Answer:

the number of protons and neutrons at both terminals are equal

Explanation:

When the number of positive charge and negative charge are both equally the terminal, it becomes neutral and out of charge, because first it undergo enough chemical reaction and there is no remaining tendency for positive and negative charges to get separated. When this tendency dies, the battery also will run out of charge.

A certain element exists as two different isotopes. 65.0% of its atoms have a mass of 24 amu and 35.0% of its atoms have a mass
Sauron [17]

Answer:

24.7 amu

Explanation:

An isotope is when an element can have different number of neutrons but they have same number of protons.

In order to calculate the average atomic mass with the given information do the following operations:

First change de percentages to fractional numbers, divide by 100.

I like to make a table, to organize all data and I believe is easier to understand.

65/100 = 0.65

35/100 = 0.35

% fraction

65.0 0.65

35.0 0.35

total100.0 1

Now multiply each mass with their corresponding fraction

24 (0.65) = 15.6

26 (0.35) = 9.1

%    fraction uma uma

65.0 0.65 24 15.6

35.0 0.35 26 9.1

total100.0    1          24.7

Finally you add the resulting mass and the units will be in uma.

15.6+9.1 = 24.7

Therefore the average atomic mass of this element will be 24.7 uma.

Oxygen gas is collected at a pressure of 123 kPa in a container which has a volume of 10.0L. What temperature must be maintained
Morgarella [4.7K]
Given:

P = 123 kPa
V = 10.0 L
n = 0.500 moles
T = ?

Assume that the gas ideally, thus, we can use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where R = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

123 kPa * 1 atm/101.325 kPa * 10.0 L = 0.500 moles * 0.0821 Latm/molK * T

solve for T 

T = 295.72 K<span />
