Answer:
The u (amu is the old unit name) is 1/12 of the weight of an 12C atom. The way the u is chosen ensures that all core and atom masses are multiples of 1(±0.1) u.
Explanation:
Further explanation if needed...
Carbon 12 was chosen because the chemical atomic weights based on C12 are almost identical to the chemical atomic weights based on the natural mix of oxygen. Simply because the atomic mass is defined as 1/12 of the mass of 12C. Others isotopes of carbon (13C mostly, with an abundance of 1.1% approximately) account for an average atomic mass slightly above 12.

Answer:</h3>
498 kj/mol
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- Chemical reactions occur as a result of bond breaking and bond formation.
- The bonds in reactants are broken and atoms are rearranged to form new bonds.
- During bond breaking energy is absorbed to break the bonds of reactants while bond formation involves the release of energy during the formation of new bonds.
In our case;
In 1 mole of the Oxygen molecule, there is one O=O bond
Energy absorbed to break O=O is 498 kJ/mol
Therefore, the ΔH required to break all the bonds in one mole of Oxygen(O₂) molecules is 498kJ/mol.
Note that, bond breaking is endothermic since energy is absorbed from the surroundings.
Answer:
When your cooking, or baking a cake. For example, If you bake a cake you are adding ingredients to the cake. When you still the cake into the oven all the ingredients are reacting to each other, causing a chemical reaction.
