Answer:
Protons and Neutrons
Explanation:
The sum of number of protons and the number of neutrons is equal to the mass of an element. Mathematically, it can be given as :
M = P + N
Also, the atomic mass can be calculated by the sum of the element's isotopes as isotopes have slightly different mass numbers.
Hence, protons and neutrons add together to determine the atomic mass.
Answer:
Explanation:
Potassium nitrate is a soluble salt which readily dissolves in a polar solvent, such as water. When solid potassium nitrate is dissolved in water, it dissociates into potassium cations and nitrate anions.
Due to the resultant ionic charges, the polar water molecules attract the resultant ions and potassium nitrate ions become hydrated, that is, surrounded by water molecules.
Nitrate, our anion, attracts the partially positive ends of water molecules by attracting them via hydrogen atom.
Potassium, the cation, attracts the partially negative end of water molecules by attracting via oxygen atom.
The answer is 57.14%.
First we need to calculate molar mass of <span>NaHCO3. Molar mass is mass of 1 mole of a substance. It is the sum of relative atomic masses, which are masses of atoms of the elements.
Relative atomic mass of Na is 22.99 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of H is 1 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of C is 12.01 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of O is 16 g.
</span>
Molar mass of <span>NaHCO3 is:
22.99 g + 1 g + 12.01 g + 3 </span>· <span>16 g = 84 g
Now, mass of oxygen in </span><span>NaHCO3 is:
3 </span>· 16 g = 48 g
mass percent of oxygen in <span>NaHCO3:
48 g </span>÷ 84 g · 100% = 57.14%
Therefore, <span>the mass percent of oxygen in sodium bicarbonate is 57.14%.</span>
oops pls forgive me I accidentally did the wrong question.
