Aluminum? It is a chemical element with the symbol Al and atomic number 13. It is a silvery-white, soft, non-magnetic and ductile metal in the boron group. By mass, aluminium is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust and the third most abundant element
Answer :
The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
Explanation :
Atomic number : it is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
Mass number or atomic mass : It is defined as the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons.
Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
For example :
Number of protons in carbon = 6
Number of neutrons in carbon = 6
Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
Mass number or atomic mass = 6 + 6
Mass number or atomic mass = 12
Thus, the atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
Just for more clarification, lowercase k is the rate constant. Uppercase K is the equilibrium constant. You can actually use k to find K (equilibrium constant). K=k/k' This means that the equilibrium constant is the rate constant of the forward reaction divided by the rate constant of the reverse reaction
The molecular mass is 44.01 g/mol
Answer:
K₂CO₃
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of moles of K = 0.104mol
Number of moles of C = 0.052mol
Number of moles of O = 0.156mol
Method
From the given parameters, to calculate the empirical formula of the elements K, C and O, we reduce the given moles to the simplest fraction.
Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound and it differs from the molecular formula which is the actual formula of a compound.
- Divide the given moles through by the smallest which is C, 0.052mol.
- Then approximate values obtained to the nearest whole number of multiply by a factor to give a whole number ratio.
- This is the empirical formula
Solution
Elements K C O
Number of moles 0.104 0.052 0.156
Dividing by the
smallest 0.104/0.052 0.052/0.052 0.156/0.052
2 1 3
The empirical formula is K₂CO₃
