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

<u>Difference </u><u>between </u><u>Atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>, </u><u>relative </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass </u><u>and </u><u>average </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

<h3><u>Atomic </u><u>Mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></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 :- <u>Carbon </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>have </u><u>different </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>. </u>
  • The SI unit of Atomic mass is " u" and "amu"

<h3><u>Relative </u><u>Atomic </u><u>mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></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><u>Average </u><u>Atomic </u><u>Mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></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 " .

If 3.0 g of NH3 reacts with 5.0 g of HCl, what is the limiting reactant?
ELEN [110]
<h2>Answer:HCl</h2>

Explanation:

\text{number of moles}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{molar mass}}

For NH_{3},

\text{given mass}=3g

\text{molar mass}=14+3=17g

n_{NH_{3}}=\frac{3}{17}=0.176

For HCl,

\text{given mass}=5g

\text{molar mass}=1+35.5=36.5g

n_{HCl}=\frac{5}{36.5}=0.136

The reaction between NH_{3} and HCl is

NH_{3}+HCl→NH_{4}Cl

So,one mole of NH_{3} requires one mole of HCl

0.176 moles of NH_{3} requires 0.176 moles of HCl

But there are only 0.136 moles of HCl available.

HCl will be consumed first.

So,HCl is the limiting reagent.

Si uno pone un hilo en un hielo y un poco de sal el hilo se levanta el hilo con el hielo. Por que sé relaciona con calor y tempe
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

El hielo encierra la primavera antes de espolvorear la sal.

Cuando se rocía sal sobre el hielo, disminuye el punto de fusión del hielo 32 ° F a un poco por debajo de 32 °, por lo tanto, se acumula.

A medida que el hielo se vuelve a congelar, encierra la primavera

What is the formula for CO3 2- and Al3+ ?
Goryan [66]

Answer is: formula is Al₂(CO₃)₃.

Aluminium carbonate (Al₂(CO₃)₃) has neutral charge. Because aluminium cation has positive charge 3+ and carbonate anion has negative charge 2-, for right chemical formula, we need two aluminium cations and three carbonate anion:

charge of the molecule = 2 · (3+) + 3 · (-2).

charge of the molecule = 0.
