The metric system is based on powers of 10 so it is much easier to convert units, often just by moving the decimal point.
Answer:
20 amu
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.
Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons
Atomic number = Number of electrons or number of protons.
In given question it is stated that atom has 11 electrons and -1 charge it means this atom has 12 electrons in neutral state.
Thus it has 12 protons because number of electrons and protons are always equal.
Atomic mass of given atom:
Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons
Atomic mass = 12 + 8 = 20 amu
Answer:
Mass = 99.8 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of potassium nitride = ?
Mass of nitrogen produced = 10.65 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2K₃N→ 6K + N₂
Moles of nitrogen:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 10.65 g / 28 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.38 mol
Now we will compare the moles of nitrogen with potassium nitride.
N₂ ; K₃N
1 : 2
0.38 : 2×0.38 =0.76
Mass of potassium nitride:
Mass = molar mass × number of moles
Mass = 131.3 g/mol × 0.76 mol
Mass = 99.8 g
