What causes some atoms of the same element to have different atomic masses?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vladimir79 [104]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: Some atoms of the same elements that have different atomic masses are called isotopes

Explanation:

so the atoms are the same element but different in mass. Since the isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons the isotopes have much the same chemical behavior. Since the isotopes have different numbers of neutrons the nuclear behavior differs.

using the symbol M for the element, write the chemical formula for the compound that forms when element M reacts with iodine.
Anon25 [30]

Answer : The chemical formula for the compound is, MI

Explanation :

When the element 'M' react with the I_2 to give MI.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2M+I_2\rightarrow 2MI

In this reaction, 'M' is in mono-atomic form and I_2 is in diatomic form.

By the stoichiometry,

2 moles 'M' react with the 1 mole of I_2 to give 2 moles of MI.

Therefore, the chemical formula of the compound is, MI

How many grams of Br are in 335g of CaBr2
ASHA 777 [7]
The answer is 267.93 g

Molar mass of CaBr2 is the sum of atomic masses of Ca and Br:
Mr(CaBr2) = Ar(Ca) + 2Ar(Br)
Ar(Ca) = 40 g/mol
Ar(Br) = 79.9 g/mol
Mr(CaBr2) = 40 + 2 * 79.9 = 199.8 g/mol

The percentage of Br in CaBr2 is:
2Ar(Br) / Mr(CaBr2) * 100 = 2 * 79.9 / 199.8 * 100 = 79.98%

Now make a proportion:
x g in 79.98%
335 g in 100%
x : 79.98% = 335 g : 100%
x = 79.98% * 335 g : 100%
x = 267.93 g

A tiger cub has a pattern of stripes on its fur that is similar to that of its parents. Where are the instructions stored that p
madreJ [45]

Answer:

On genes within chromosomes

Explanation:

-The fur pattern is a genetic trait whose instruction is carried in the DNA's base sequence.

-These instructions are organized into genes and each gene is only responsble for the making of a functional product.

-Hence, the instructions are stored on genes within chromosomes.

1. If I have 45 L of He in a balloon at 25 degrees celsius and increase the temperature of the
Greeley [361]

Use Charles' Law: V1/T1 = V2/T2. We assume the pressure and mass of the helium is constant. The units for temperature must be in Kelvin to use this equation (x °C = x + 273.15 K).

We want to solve for the new volume after the temperature is increased from 25 °C (298.15 K) to 55 °C (328.15 K). Since the volume and temperature of a gas at a constant pressure are directly proportional to each other, we should expect the new volume of the balloon to be greater than the initial 45 L.

Rearranging Charles' Law to solve for V2, we get V2 = V1T2/T1.  

(45 L)(328.15 K)/(298.15 K) = 49.5 ≈ 50 L (if we're considering sig figs).
