A carbon - 12 atom and a regular carbon atom would have the same number of protons which is 6. So a carbon - 12 atom would have 6 protons. Both, however, would differ in the number of neutrons. Carbon - 12 atom has 6 neutrons. To determine the mass defect of a carbon - 12 atom, we have to add the total mass of protons and the total mass of neutrons and subtract the known mass of a carbon - 12 atom. That would be like this.
6 (1.00728 amu) + 6 (1.00866 amu) = x
6.04368 amu + 6.05196 amu = x
12.09564 amu = x

Then subtract it with 12 amu to get the defect mass

12.09564 amu - 12.00000 amu = y
0.09564 amu = y

So the defect mass would be 0.09564 amu.

Which 1.0 M solution has the lowest pH? <br> A -HCN <br> B -H3PO4 <br> C -H2C2O4<br> D -HCl
fredd [130]
The solution with the lowest pH would mean that it is an acid, specifically a strong acid which completely dissociates into ions in aqueous solution. Among the choices listed above, I think the correct answer is option D. It is nitric acid that will have the lowest pH because it is the only strong acid in the group

The compound responsible for the characteristic smell of garlic is allicin, The mass of 1.00 mol of allicin, rounded to the near
never [62]

Answer:

The mass of 1.00 mol of allicin, rounded to the nearest integer, is 162 g

Explanation:

Allicin is a compound that derivates from the alliin which is produced by the catalyzis of an enzime.

The molecular formula is: C₆H₁₀OS₂.

Let's determine the molar mass which is the mass that corresponds to 1 mol

Molar mass C . 6 + Molar mass H . 10 + Molar mass O + Molar mass S . 2 =

12 g/mol . 6 + 1 g/mol . 10 + 16 g/mol + 32.06 g/mol . 2 =  162.1 g/mol

A 1.25-g sample contains some of the very reactive compound Al(C6H5)3. On treating the compound with aqueous HCl, 0.951 g of C6H
Oksanka [162]
<span>83.9% First, determine the molar masses of Al(C6H5)3 and C6H6. Start by looking up the atomic weights of the involved elements. Atomic weight aluminum = 26.981539 Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Molar mass Al(C6H5)3 = 26.981539 + 18 * 12.0107 + 15 * 1.00794 = 258.293239 g/mol Molar mass C6H6 = 6 * 12.0107 + 6 * 1.00794 = 78.11184 g/mol Now determine how many moles of C6H6 was produced Moles C6H6 = 0.951 g / 78.11184 g/mol = 0.012174851 mol Looking at the balanced equation, it indicates that 1 mole of Al(C6H5)3 is required for every 3 moles of C6H6 produced. So given the number of moles of C6H6 you have, determine the number of moles of Al(C6H5)3 that was required. 0.012174851 mol / 3 = 0.004058284 mol Then multiply by the molar mass to get the number of grams that was originally present. 0.004058284 mol * 258.293239 g/mol = 1.048227218 g Finally, the weight percent is simply the mass of the reactant divided by the total mass of the sample. So 1.048227218 g / 1.25 g = 0.838581775 = 83.8581775% And of course, round to 3 significant digits, giving 83.9%</span>
