Answer:

20 amu

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic number = Number of electrons or number of protons.

In given question it is stated that atom has 11 electrons and -1  charge it means this atom has 12 electrons in neutral state.

Thus it has 12 protons because number of electrons and protons are always equal.

Atomic mass of given atom:

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic mass = 12 + 8 = 20 amu

Calculate the density of air at 100 Deg C and 1 bar abs. Use the Ideal Gas Law for your calculation and give answer in kg/m3. Us
madam [21]

Answer:

d=0.92\frac{kg}{m^{3}}

Explanation:

Using the Ideal Gas Law we have PV=nRT and the number of moles n could be expressed as n=\frac{m}{M}, where m is the mass and M is the molar mass.

Now, replacing the number of moles in the equation for the ideal gass law:

PV=\frac{m}{M}RT

If we pass the V to divide:

P=\frac{m}{V}\frac{RT}{M}

As the density is expressed as d=\frac{m}{V}, we have:

P=d\frac{RT}{M}

Solving for the density:

d=\frac{PM}{RT}

Then we need to convert the units to the S.I.:

T=100^{o}C+273.15

T=373.15K

P=1bar*\frac{0.98atm}{1bar}

P=0.98atm

M=28.9\frac{kg}{kmol}*\frac{1kmol}{1000mol}

M=0.0289\frac{kg}{mol}

Finally we replace the values:

d=\frac{(0.98atm)(0.0289\frac{kg}{mol})}{(0.082\frac{atm.L}{mol.K})(373.15K)}

d=9.2*10^{-4}\frac{kg}{L}

d=9.2*10^{-4}\frac{kg}{L}*\frac{1L}{0.001m^{3}}

d=0.92\frac{kg}{m^{3}}
