Why is the average atomic mass of an element referred to the "molar mass" of an element?

Chemistry

Tju [1.3M]3 years ago

Answer: “Atomic mass is expressed in atomic mass units while molar mass is expressed in grams.”

It’s true that atomic mass is expressed in atomic mass unity, called u.m.a. or dalton, but surely molar mass is expressed in the same unity too and not in grams. For example the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 u.m.a.. The molar mass of water (H2O) is the sum of 2 atomic mass of hydrogen and 1 atomic mass of oxygen: 1.008x2+16=18.016 u.m.a.

Explanation:  The unit of atomic mass and molar mass is the same and it corresponds to 1/12 of the mass of the nucleus of the carbon isotope 12. Therefore both are not masses but pure dimensionless numbers. When I say that sodium (Na) has atomic mass 22.997 u.m.a., I simply say that sodium atoms weighs 22.997 time more than the atomic mass unity. When I say that CO2 has a molecular mass of 44.01 u.m.a. I say that the CO2 molecule weighs 44.01 time more than the atomic mass unity.

To move from the atomic mass to the gr-atoms, used for single atoms, or moles (gr-moles) used for molecules, both used in the stoichiometric calculations, you have simply to use the atomic mass and the molecular mass and put the dimension in grams. For the moles you can use lower dimensions (millimoles, micro moles, etc.) and higher dimensions (kilomoles, tonmoles, etc.).

Based on the chemical formula and state of matter, which of these substances will conduct electricity?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

CuSO4(aq)

Explanation:

The aqueous form of copper sulfate will conduct electricity.

The Solid form will not be a good conductor.

C₅H₁₂ will not conduct electricity

CO₂ will not conduct electricity

  • Copper sulfate is an ionic compound
  • In aqueous solutions or molten forms, ionic compounds can conduct an electric current using free mobile ions as carriers.
  • This way, they are electrolytes.
  • In solid state, the ions are arranged into a crystal lattice and will not conduct a current of electricity.

Which periodic trend quantifies the amount of energy required to remove an electron from a neutral, gaseous atom?.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Ionization energy refers to the amount of energy needed to remove an electron from an atom. Ionization energy decreases as we go down a group. Ionization energy increases from left to right across the periodic table.

<h3>What is ionization energy?</h3>

Ionization is the process by which ions are formed by the gain or loss of an electron from an atom or molecule.

Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.

When we move across a period from left to right then there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. Therefore, ionization energy increases along a period but decreases along a group.

Smaller is the size of an atom more will be the force of attraction between its protons and electrons. Hence, more amount of energy is required to remove an electron.

Thus, we can conclude that the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom is called ionization energy.

Why do automobiles rust more easily in wet climates than drier climates
elixir [45]
It rusts more in wet climates because it is water and when water hits the automobile there is a chemical reaction. If the water is salt water it will cause it to rust quicker.
