What is the relationship between molar mass in grams per mole (g/mol) and average atomic mass in amu of each element?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The molar mass and atomic mass are essentially the same for an element

Explanation:

The molar mass of a substance can be obtained by dividing the mass of the substance by the no of moles of the substance present.

The atomic mass of an element is the number of protons and neutrons present in the substance.

These two measurements usually give the same values because they both make reference to the 1/12th the mass of carbon-12  for their measurement.

Because they both have the same reference point, though they have different calculating procedures, the results obtained will be similar.

How have humans contributed to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the past 100 years?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is an important green house gas. A small increase in the concentration of this gas can lead to the global rise in the surface temperature. Over the last 100 years, this gas has increased significantly. One of the main cause behind this the anthropogenic activities.

After the setup of the industrial revolution, there has been a large increase in this CO₂ concentration, as there are numerous large factories and indutries that releases this harmful gases. In addition to this, the burning up of fossil fuel also is responsible for the emission of large amount of carbon into the atmosphere.

Deforestation also is another cause, because trees are no longer there in vast quantities which takes up a large number of atmospheric carbon and in return liberates plenty of oxygen.

Thus, the activities done by man over the last century has led to the increase in the concentration of CO₂ into the atmosphere.

What is the hybridization of the carbon atoms in 1,3-butadiene, h2c=ch-ch=ch2?
Natalija [7]
The main formula is as follow  is explained in the attached file  (please look at the examples)

the 1,3- butadiene is h2c=ch-ch=ch2, so we have 

sp²             sp²     sp²               sp²
h2c    =     ch   -     ch         =      ch2

<span>the hybridization of the carbon atoms  is </span>sp²  : trigonal planar
