What term defines a mass which is exactly equal to 1/12 the mass of one carbon-12 atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
aalyn [17]3 years ago
4 0

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

A sample of metal has a mass of 5. 2 g and absorbs 20. 0 j of energy as it is heated from 30. 0°c to 40. 0°c. What is the identi
kiruha [24]

The identity of the metal is copper.

<h3>What is specific heat?</h3>

The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Using the formula of specific heat

H = mcdT

Where, H = Heat absorbed

m = mass of the metal

c = specific heat capacity of the metal

dT = temperature change

Putting the values in the equation

20 J = 0.0052 Kg × c × ( 40.0°C - 30.0°C)

c = 20 J/0.0052 Kg × ( 40.0°C - 30.0°C)

c = 385 JKg-1°C-1

Thus, the metal is copper.

The absolute temperature of a gas is increased four times while maintaining a constant volume. What happens to the pressure of
lianna [129]

Answer:

DECREASE BY A FACTOR OF FOUR

Explanation:

Using pressure equation:

P 1 / T1 = P2 /T2     (at constant volume)

P1 = P

T1 =T

P2 = ?

T2 = 4 T

So therefore;

P2 = P1T1/ T2

P2 = P T/ 4 T

P2 = 1/4 P

The pressure is decreased by a factor of four, the new pressure is a quarter of the formal pressure of the gas.

What is the mass of 4.40 moles of magnesium chloride, MgCl2?
Darya [45]
Since the number of moles of a substance is the mass divided by the molar mass of the substance, we can just simply multiply the molar mass of magnesium chloride by the number of moles, which is 4.40 in this case.

To find the molar mass, refer to the periodic table for the relative atomic mass of Mg and Cl and add them together. Since there’s 2 chloride ions in MgCl2, double the relative atomic mass of Cl when adding.

24.31 + 35.45x2
=95.21

Now just multiply 95.21 to 4.40mol, which you’ll get 418.9g (corrected to 3 significant figures)
