Answer:

Relative atomic mass and it is expressed in atomic mass unit (amu)

Explanation:

AMU:

Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.

This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale

relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu

relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu

relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu

relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu

How many grams of nacl are in 250 g of a 15.0% (by weight) solution?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer: -

37.5 g of NaCl are in 250 g of a 15.0% (by weight) solution.

Explanation: -

Total mass = 250 g

Percentage of NaCl = 15.0 %

= \frac{Number of grams of NaCl present}{total mass}

Thus \frac{15}{100} = \frac{Number of grams of NaCl present}{250g}

Number of grams of NaCl present = \frac{15 x 250g}{100}

= 37.5 g

How does atomic radius change from top to bottom in a group in the periodic table?
suter [353]
The atomic radius increases as you would go down a particular group on the periodic table of elements. This is because along with a greater number of protons, there would also be electrons as well, and thus the need of electron shells surrounding the atom would also be required, to compensate for the more electrons, as according to the bohr model, each shell contains 8 electrons in its electron shell. Thus the distance from the nucleus to the outermost shell increases, the atomic radius.
