<h3>The average atomic mass of Iodine : 126.86 amu</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

80% 127I, 17% 126I, and 3% 128I.

Required

The average atomic mass

Solution

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% + ... mass isotope n.%

Atomic mass of Iodine = 0.8 x 127 + 0.17 x 126 + 0.03 x 128

Atomic mass of Iodine = 101.6 + 21.42 + 3.84

Atomic mass of Iodine = 126.86 amu

Why do we use ammonium formate as a hydrogen surrogate instead of using hydrogen gas in this experiment?

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Ammonium formate can also be used in palladium on carbon (Pd/C) reduction of functional groups. In the presence of Pd/C, ammonium formate decomposes to hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and ammonia.

Explanation:

This hydrogen gas is adsorbed onto the surface of the palladium metal, where it can react with various functional groups.

Convert the following temperatures to degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit: (a) 95Â°F, the temperature on a hot summer day; (b) 12Â°F,

Elis [28]

Answer:

a) 35°C, the temperature on a hot summer day

b) -11.11°C, the temperature on a cold winter day

c) a 38.88°C fever

d) a furnace operating at 1011.11°C

e) 523.67°F ( theoretically the lowest attainable temperature )

Explanation:

°C = ( °F - 32 ) / 1.8
°F = ( 1.8 * °C ) +32

a) 95°F ⇒ °C = ( 95 - 32 ) / 1.8 = 35°C

b) 12°F ⇒ °C = ( 12 - 32 ) / 1.8 = -11.11°C

c) 102°F ⇒ °C = ( 102 -32 ) / 1.8 = 38.88°C

d) 1852°F ⇒ °C = ( 1852 -32 ) / 1.8 = 1011.11°C

e) 273.15°C ⇒ °F = ( 1.8 * 273.15 ) + 32 = 523.67°F

A chemist adds 135.0 mL of a 0.21M zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3) solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of zinc nitra

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

5.36 grams the mass in grams of zinc nitrate the chemist has added to the flask.

Explanation:

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of the solution (L)}}$

Moles of zinc nitrate = n

Volume of the solution = 135.0 mL = 0.1350 L

Molarity of the solution = 0.21 M

$0.21 M=\frac{n}{0.1350 L}$

$n=0.21M\times 0.1350 L=0.02835 mol$

Mass of 0.02835 moles of zinc nitrate:

0.02835 mol × 189 g/mol = 5.358 g ≈ 5.36 g

5.36 grams the mass in grams of zinc nitrate the chemist has added to the flask.

Which statement is true about a proton and an electron?

tatyana61 [14]

Answer: (3) They have different masses and the same charges.

Explanation:

Atoms are mainly composed of three main types of particles (in fact there are more particles that are smaller and make up these main particles): electrons, protons and neutrons.

In the specific case of <u>electrons</u> and <u>protons</u>, <u>both have the same charge, but electrons have the opposite sign</u>. This means a proton has an electric charge of +1 and an electron has an electric charge of −1.

On the other hand, <u>protons have more mass than electrons.</u> In fact, thetex]mass of an electron is about approximately $\frac{1}{2000}$ the mass of a proton, this means these negative charged particles contribute almost nothing to the total mass of an atom (unlike protons, which together with neutrons, make up virtually all of the mass of an atom).

However, each atom that is electrically neutral has the same quantity of electrons as protons.

How does atomic mass differ from atomic number

Lina20 [59]

The atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. In an uncharged atom the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons.

Hope this helps!
