Answer:

<u>Group 2 is the correct answer.</u>

Explanation:

<u>Chlorine has a charge -1. It means that X is +2 so that the formula is XCl2. </u>

The mole is defined as the amount of a substance containing the same number of particles as exactly 12 g of C-12. The amu is def
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Because it wouldn't make any sense

Explanation:

First of all, I think it's important to highlight the definition of isotope.

Isotope (Wikipedia): Variants of a particular chemical element <u>which differ in neutron number</u>...

This means that two isotopes are the same element but have different net mass per atom, due to the different number of neutrons.

Therefore, it's important to make the definition on the same isotope so that the proportion is equal. If the definition would be made on different isotopes, the proportion wouldn't have any sense. Let me be clear with this example:

mass in grams of a C-12 atom = 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g  --> this is the mass of a single C atom.

By definition --> 1 mol of anything = 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 particles of anything

Therefore, we know how much a single C atom weights. How many grams do you think that 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C (i.e a mol of C) could weight??

1 single C atom ----------------------------- 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g

6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C   ------------ <u>12.006 g  !!</u>

These 12 g is the same quantity than above! Therefore, 1 mol of C weights 12 g. If the definition were made with 13 g of C-13 (the other C isotope), these numbers will not be the same --> There would be a contradiction.

Regarding the second question, we need to search Ne-20 atomic mass in grams -->  3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g

Hence, if we follow the same rule, the amu would be 1/12 of Ne-20.

[ 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g ] / 12 = 2.79 ^ -24 g

The temperature of a 95.4 g piece of Cu increases from 25.0 °C to 48.0 °C when the Cu absorbs 849 J of heat. What is the specifc
melisa1 [442]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.387 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • To calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance we need to know its mass, change in temperature and its specific heat capacity.
  • Then to get quantity of heat absorbed or lost we multiply mass by specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
  • That is, Q = mcΔT

in our question we are given;

Mass of copper, m as 95.4 g

Initial temperature = 25 °C

Final temperature = 48 °C

Thus, change in temperature, ΔT = 23°C

Quantity of heat absorbed, Q as 849 J

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of copper

Rearranging the formula we get

c = Q ÷ mΔT

Therefore,

Specific heat capacity, c = 849 J ÷ (95.4 g × 23°C)

                                        = 0.3869 J/g°C

                                        = 0.387 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.387 J/g°C

What is atomic hydrogen?<br>​
goldenfox [79]
A hydrogen atom is an atom of the chemical element hydrogen. The electrically neutral atom contains a single positively charged proton and a single negatively charged electron bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force. Atomic hydrogen constitutes about 75% of the baryonic mass of the universe.
