Explain clearly what is meant by the statement "The atomic mass of gold is 197.0 amu."

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nostrana [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Answer is given below

Explanation:

amu is atomic mass unit. 1 amu indicates (1/12) th of mass of a carbon-12 atom.

Also, 1 amu is equal to average of rest mass of a proton and a neutron. Roughly, it has been estimated that amu indicated number of nucleons (proton+neutron) in an atom.

So, 1 amu means there is 1 nucleon.

So, 197.0 amu means there are 197 number of nucleons in gold.

Again, it has to be remembered that 1 amu = 1 g/mol

What is called oxidizing agent and reducing agent?
Alika [10]
An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Also known as the electron acceptor, the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reducedExamples of oxidizing agents include halogens, potassium nitrate, and nitric acid. A reducing agent, or reductant, loses electrons and is oxidized in a chemical reaction. A reducing agent is typically in one of its lower possible oxidation states, and is known as the electron donor.

What is the mass in 6.34x10^23 molecules of calcium chloride
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer : The mass of calcium chloride is, 116.84 grams

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of calcium chloride, CaCl_2 = 110.98 g/mole

Number of molecules of calcium chloride = 6.34\times 10^{23}

As we know that,

1 mole of calcium chloride contains 6.022\times 10^{23} molecules of calcium chloride

or,

1 mole of calcium chloride contains 110.98 grams of calcium chloride

Or, we can say that

As, 6.022\times 10^{23} molecules of calcium chloride present in 110.98 grams of calcium chloride

So, 6.34\times 10^{23} molecules of calcium chloride present in \frac{6.34\times 10^{23}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 110.98=116.84grams of calcium chloride

Therefore, the mass of calcium chloride is, 116.84 grams

How many grams of oxygen gas will be produced when 2.50 moles of potassium chlorate is decomposed?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

m_{O_2}=120gO_2

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the decomposition of potassium chlorate is:

2KClO_3\rightarrow 2KCl+3O_2

We can see a 2:3 mole ratio between potassium chlorate and oxygen (molar mass 32.0 g/mol), thus, via stoichiometry, we compute the mass of oxygen that are produced by the decomposition of 2.50 moles of this reactant:

m_{O_2}=2.50molKClO_3*\frac{3molO_2}{2molKClO_3} *\frac{32.0gO_2}{1molO_2}\\\\m_{O_2}=120gO_2

Best regards!
