D. amu
amu stands for atomic mass unit
Usually in this context you would be referring to the boiling and freezing point of a NaCl <em>solution</em> (saltwater) compared to pure H_{2}O. Sematics would be different for NaCl compound itself, you would say melting and boiling point for a solid substance- and the temperatures would be very, very radical (high).
The boiling point of pure water is 100 degrees C (212 F), and the freezing/melting point is below 0 degrees C (32 F). For a salt water solution, the boiling point is raised and the melting point is lowered. This means that water will stay liquid for an increased range of temperature. Depending on the amount of NaCl solute in the water, the boiling and melting points may change a few degrees.
Given parameters:
Number of protons = 1
Number of electrons = 1
Number of neutrons = 1
unknown:
Total charge = ?
Atoms are made up of elementary particles of protons neutrons and electrons.
Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
Electrons are the negatively charged particles
Neutrons do not carry any charges
To find the total charge on an atom; simply find the difference between the number of protons and electrons.
Total charge = Number of protons - number of electrons
= 1 - 1
Total charge is 0
Therefore, the total charge is zero, 0
Answer:
Explanation:
To convert from grams to moles, we must use the molar mass. This can be found on the Periodic Table. First, find the molar mass of iron and chlorine.
- Fe: 55.84 g/mol
- Cl: 35.45 g/mol
Check the formula. There is a subscript of 3 after Cl, so there are 3 atoms of chlorine in 1 molecule. Multiply iron's molar mass by 3, then add iron's molar mass.
- FeCl₃: 55.84 + 3(35.45) = 55.84+106.35=162.19 g/mol
Use this number as a ratio.
Multiply by the given number of grams.
Flip the ratio so the grams of iron (III) chloride cancel.
The original measurement of grams has 5 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the ten thousandth place.
258.45 grams is approximately 1.5935 moles of iron (III) chloride.
