Answer:
The mass of the element is 26.20 amu
Explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons and 11 neutrons
To calculate the atomic mass of the element, we take into consideration the masses of the individual sub atomic particles
Electrons have 0 atomic mass unit(their masses are negligible) we have no business here, Protons have a mass of
1.00727647 amu, while the mass of neutron is 1.0086654 amu
The mass of 15 protons is thus 15 * 1.00727647 = 15.10914705 amu
The mass of 11 neutrons is 11 * 1.0086654 =
11.0953194 amu
Adding this together, we have ; 11.0953194 + 15.10914705 = approximately 26.20 amu
<span>Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass. Dalton also stated that all compounds were composed of combinations of these atoms in defined ratios. He postulated that chemical reactions resulted in the rearrangement of the reacting atom.

The mineral is Iron Sulphide. It is not a mixture, but a compound. A mixture is when two substances are together, but not chemically bonded. For example, if I add food colouring to water, I have made a mixture because the food colouring has not chemically bonded to the water. If I react Iron with Suphur, the resulting substance is a compound. The resulting mineral will not burn or be magnetic because the compound has different properties to the elements themselves. For example, chlorine gas is toxic and sodium reacts violently with water, but sodium chloride is table salt, nor toxic nor explosive.
Hope this helps
Answer:
I think this answer should be 2.33 g H2O
