Answer:

The mass number of an atom is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons that it contains. In other words, the number of neutrons in an atom is its mass number minus its atomic number.

Explanation:

protons

The mass number of an atom is its total number of protons and neutrons. Atoms of different elements usually have different mass numbers , but they can be the same. For example, the mass number of argon atoms and calcium atoms can both be 40.

Given an equilibrium constant value of 7.2 x 10-4 it is false to say that the reaction proceeds essentially to completion.

<h3>What is the equilibrium constant?</h3>

In a reaction, we can judge using the value of the equilibrium constant weather or not the reaction moves on to completion. If the reaction moves up to completion, it the follows that the value of the equilibrium constant ought to be large.

On the other hand, when we have a case that the equilibrium constant is small and is not so large, then the reaction does not proceed essentially to completion.

What is the mass of 8.12 × 10^23 molecules of CO2 gas? (Atomic mass of carbon = 12.011 u; oxygen = 15.999 u.)

amid [387]

Answer:

$m=59.3gCO_2$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the first step is to compute the molar mass of carbon dioxide as shown below, considering it has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms:

$M=12.011g/mol+2*15.999g/mol\\\\M=44.009g/mol$

It is important to notice it is the mass in one mole of such compound. Afterwards, we need to use the Avogadro's number to compute the how many moles are in the given molecules of carbon dioxide as shown below:

$mol=8.12x10^{23}molec*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molec} =1.35mol$
