Answer:
0.17 moles
Explanation:
In the elements of the periodic table, the atomic mass = molar mass. <u>Ex:</u> Atomic mass of Carbon is 12.01 amu which means molar mass of Carbon is also 12.01g/mol.
In order to find the # of moles in a 12 g sample of NiC-12, we will need to multiply the number of each atom by its molar mass and then add the masses of both Nickel and C-12 found in the periodic table:
- Molar Mass of Ni (Nickel): 58.69 g/mol
- Molar Mass of C (Carbon): 12.01 g/mol
Since there's just one atom of both Carbon and Nickel, we just add up the masses to find the molar mass of the whole compound of NiC-12.
- 58.69 g/mol of Nickel + 12.01 g/mol of Carbon = 70.7 g/mol of NiC-12
There's 12g of NiC-12, which is less than the molar mass of NiC-12, so the number of moles should be less than 1. In order to find the # of moles in NiC-12, we need to do some dimensional analysis:
- 12g NiC-12 (1 mol of NiC-12/70.7g NiC-12) = 0.17 mol of NiC-12
- The grams cancel, leaving us with moles of NiC-12, so the answer is 0.17 moles of NiC-12 in a 12 g sample.
<em>P.S. C-12 or C12 just means that the Carbon atom has an atomic mass of 12amu and a molar mass of 12g/mol, or just regular carbon.</em>
Answer:
a) the atomic number is 15
b) the mass number is 15+16 = 31
c) element is phosphorus
d)Group 15 period 3
It is definitely a molecule
Answer:
nucleus
Explanation:
The majority of an atoms' mass comes from the protons and neutrons that make up its nucleus. Electrons are the least massive of an atom's constituent particles, with a mass of 9.11 x 10-31 kg and a size too small to be measured by current techniques.
