Answer:

The nucleus of atom is composed of two subatomic particles that each have charges.

Protons, which are positively charged particles.
Neutrons, which are neutrally charged particles.

Both reside in the nucleus of an atom. The amount of protons and neutrons (Electrons can to) is what helps us identify each atom apart. Electrons are NOT in the nucleus of atom but orbit it in outer layers called orbitals.

What is the difference between atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass

vesna_86 [32]

$\bold{\huge{\underline{\purple{ Answer }}}}$

Difference between Atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass :-

<h3>Atomic Mass :-</h3>

Atomic mass is the mass of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom .
It is always calculated for a single element and having direct value
For isotopes also, the atomic mass is calculated separately . Example :- Carbon 12 , carbon 13 and carbon 14 have different atomic mass. 
The SI unit of Atomic mass is " u" and "amu"

<h3>Relative Atomic mass :-</h3>

Relative atomic mass is mean mass of the atoms of an element which is compared to the 1/12th mass of carbon - 12 .
Carbon - 12 is taken as a relative when we calculate the relative atomic mass of any element
For calculating relative atomic mass, we need to know the masses, percentage and abundance of all types of elements
Relative atomic mass is a dimension less quantity

<h3>Average Atomic Mass :-</h3>

Average atomic mass is the average mass of an atoms of a particular element by considering it's isotopes
While we calculate average atomic mass is a standardized number. Whereas, Average atomic mass sometimes varies geologically .
It also includes percentage, abundance and masses of given element .
In average atomic mass, We do not compare mean value with the 1/12 mass of carbon - 12
The unit of Average atomic mass is "Amu" or " u " .

How many grams of the excess reactant are left over according to the reaction below given that you start with 10.0 g of Al and 1

valentinak56 [21]

4 Al + 3 O2 → 2 Al2O3

(10.0 g Al) / (26.98154 g Al/mol) = 0.37062 mol Al
(19.0 g O2) / (31.99886 g O2/mol) = 0.59377 mol O2

0.37062 mole of Al would react completely with 0.37062 x (3/4) = 0.277965 mole of O2, but there is more O2 present than that, so O2 is in excess.

((0.59377 mol O2 initially) - (0.277965 mol O2 reacted)) x (31.99886 g O2/mol) =
10.1 g O2 left over

How is it possible for there to be more than one kind of atom of the same element?

tiny-mole [99]

They are called isotopes.

Isotopes have the same number of electrons and protons in their unionized state. They differ in the number of neutrons. The first and simplest example is hydrogen.

The most common hydrogen has

1 proton

1 electron and

0 neutrons

It has 2 cousins

1 proton

1 electron

1 neutron

And

1 proton

1 electron

2 neutrons.

Most elements have some differences in the number of neutrons present in their nuclei. Cesium and Xenon have the most number of isotopes. Each has 36. You wonder how the atoms are held together.

How many grams of water in 8.22 grams of cuso4*5h2o?

S_A_V [24]

Molar mass of CuSO4 * 5 H2O
= 63.546 + 32 + 16*4 + 5*18
= 249.546 g/mol
Mass of water in that formula: 5 * 18 = 90 g/mol
Percent by mass of water = 90 / 249.546 = 36%
So, 36% of your 8.22 g is water. 0.36 * 8.22= 2.95 g of water
