The weights of all elements are always compared to oxygen.

Chemistry
1 answer:
marishachu [46]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12.

Explanation:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12 because the mass of carbon is 12 which is the exactly the sum of protons and neutrons.  

Oxygen was also considered the standard for some time but later this stander was rejected because in natural O¹⁷ and O¹⁸ were also present and this create the two different atomic mass tables.

AMU:

Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.

This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale

relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu

relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu

relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu

relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu

Which law of thermodynamics? Defines what thermal equilibrium is.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

0th

Explanation:

he laws of thermodynamics define a group of physical quantities, such as temperature, energy, and entropy, that characterize thermodynamic systems in thermodynamic equilibrium. The laws also use various parameters for thermodynamic processes, such as thermodynamic work and heat, and establish relationships between them. They state empirical facts that form a basis of precluding the possibility of certain phenomena, such as perpetual motion. In addition to their use in thermodynamics, they are important fundamental laws of physics in general, and are applicable in other natural sciences.

Traditionally, thermodynamics has recognized three fundamental laws, simply named by an ordinal identification, the first law, the second law, and the third law.[1][2][3] A more fundamental statement was later labelled as the zeroth law, after the first three laws had been established.

What varieties of matter may be the constituents in mixtures?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer: two or more different pure substances, which may be elements or compounds.


Explanation:


The term varieties of matter is kind of ambiguos since it is not defined.


The best approach to the question is to think of matter as it can be classified into to kinds: pure substaces and mixtures.


Elements and compounds are pure substances.


Elements are pure substances constituted by only one kind of atoms. An element cannot be divided into simpler substances either by physical or chemical media.


A compound is a chemical combination of two or more different elements. A compound can be divided into simpler substances by chemical reactions, but not by physical media. The properties of compounds are different of those of the elements of which they are constituted. The composition of a compoind (ratio among its elements) is fixed.


A mixture is the physical combination of two or more pure substances (either different elements or compounds) which can be mixed in any proportion. This is, its composition is variable. The substances that form the mixture can be separated by physical media.
