Why are relative atomic masses on the periodic tables not whole numbers?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Kobotan [32]3 years ago

Answer:

They are averages.

Explanation:

atomic numbers on periodic tables are derived from the average value of all the isotopes of the element. So being averages they are sometimes not integers.

Answer:

The sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom is called the mass number.  Atomic mass is never an integer number for several reasons: The atomic mass reported on a periodic table is the weighted average of all the naturally occurring isotopes. Being an average it would be most unlikely to be a whole number.

(Numerical problems) A car is running with the velocity of 72km/h. What will be it's velocity after 5s if it's acceleration is -
kodGreya [7K]

The car's velocity after 5s : 10 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

velocity=v=72 km/h=20 m/s

time=t = 5 s

acceleration=a = -2 m/s²

Required

velocity after 5s

Solution

Straight motion changes with constant acceleration

\tt v_f=v_i+at

vf=final velocity

vi = initial velocity

Input the value :

\tt v_f=20+(-2).5\\\\v_f=20-10\\\\v_f=10~m/s

The car is decelerating (acceleration is negative) so that its speed decreases

Imagine mixing 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt with 2 cups of ammonia. How much precipitate would be produced? Describe the amount of
barxatty [35]

The amount of precipitate produced will be proportional to the amount of NH₃ reacted with water to produce NH₄OH.

<h3>What is precipitate?</h3>

Precipitates are the crystal type formation, when the solute is no more dissolving in the solvent.

Imagine mixing 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt with 2 cups of ammonia, the reaction is

2NH₃ + MgSO₄ + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + (NH₄)₂SO₄

The amount of precipitate produced will be proportional to the amount of NH₃ reacted with water to produce NH₄OH.

6. An environmental chemist needs a carbonate buffer of pH 10.00 to study the effects of acid rain on limestone-rich soils. To p
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

[Na₂CO₃] = 0.094M

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

HCO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ↔ CO₃²⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

It is possible to find pH using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

Where [A⁻] is concentration of conjugate base,  [CO₃²⁻] = [Na₂CO₃] and  [HA] is concentration of weak acid, [NaHCO₃] = 0.20M.

pH is desire pH and pKa (<em>10.00</em>) is -log pka = -log 4.7x10⁻¹¹ = <em>10.33</em>

<em />

Replacing these values:

10.00 = 10.33 + log₁₀ [Na₂CO₃] / [0.20]

<em> [Na₂CO₃] = 0.094M</em>

<em />

What's the formula mass for (NH4)3PO4
maria [59]
The formula mass of a molecule is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in the empirical formula of the compound. It is also known as Formula Weight.
The atomic weights of
N = 14.01 amu
H = 1.00 amu
P = 30.97 amu
O = 16.0 amu

Now, we will calculate now the formula mass of a given substance
3(14.01) + 12(1.00) + 1(30.97) + 4(16.0) = 42.03 + 12.00 + 30.97 + 64.0 = 149.0 amu

Therefore, the formula mass for (NH4)3PO4 is 149.0 amu
