The weights of all elements are always compared to oxygen.

Chemistry

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

miv72 [106K]

The classification of it being a metal, nonmetal, or metalliod will be useful in the process of elimination to determine what it is. Then for the second test, meauring the atomin radius will narrow it down quicker to the mystery elemet's name.

Since you determined what part of the periodic table it's on, then when measuring the atomic radius, you should be able to pinpoint what the element is more surely.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Temperature of the water

Explanation:

In every study, there must be independent and dependent variables. An independent variable is the variable that is changed in order to obtain a response. In this case, the temperature of the water is being changed, the response in this experiment is the respiration rate of the goldfish.

Thus the respiration rate of the goldfish is the dependent variable because it is controlled by the temperature of the water and changes accordingly.

Summarily, the independent variable is the temperature of the water while the dependent variable is the respiration rate of the goldfish.

How many moles of glucose are produced? <br><br><br><br> How many moles of oxygen are produced?
frozen [14]

Explanation:

5.00 mol H2O × (1 mol C6H12O6/6 mol H2O)

= 0.833 mol C6H12O6

5.00 mol H2O × (6 mol O2/6 mol H2O)

= 5.00 mol O2

Balance the following chemical reactions:
Tcecarenko [31]

1. 2Pb(NO₃)₂ → 2PbO + 4NO₂ + O₂

2. CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

3. Cu + 2AgNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

4. MnO₂ + 4HCl → MnCl₂ + 2H₂O + Cl₂

5. Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NaCl → PbCl₂ + 2NaNO₃
