Difference between absolute atomic mass and relative atomic mass with example

Answers

Answer 1

“Atomic mass” is relative to the isotope carbon-12 weighing exactly 12 atomic mass units. Therefore “atomic mass” is precisely the same as “relative atomic mass.”

Two further points:

First, atomic mass as stated on the periodic table is a average of the masses of an element’s naturally-occurring isotopes, weighted by their abundance. This is because atomic mass as normally used is a bulk property: we weigh out many trillions of atoms at a time, because we usually deal in macroscopic quantities. And that means that an average mass is more useful to us.

Second, all masses are relative masses (until the new, physical-constant-based kilogram comes online; and arguably even then). We mass something by comparing it to some standard of reference: until later this year, that something is a chunk of alloy in Paris, France. When the new standard comes into use, we will be comparing the kilogram’s gravitational mass to the strength of the electromagnetic force.

But that’s kind of trivial; it just stems from the fact that any and every measurement is a comparison to something else.

Edit: IUPAC, the world’s premier organization for the imposition of picky definitions that most people never need to use, has the following:

Atomic mass is the mass of a single atom; the unit is the Dalton or unified atomic mass unit. (I would use “isotopic mass” to specify the mass of a particular atom, but that’s not sanctioned by IUPAC.)

Relative atomic mass is the measured average mass of all atoms of a particular element in a particular sample. To make it unitless, it’s divided by the value of the unified atomic mass unit.

Standard atomic weight is the value you read off of the periodic table; it’s an Earth-based average over many samples, of experimental values of the relative atomic mass. Values are promulgated by the IUPAC Commission on Atomic Weights and Isotopic Abundances, and are revised every two years.

Most chemists refer to standard atomic weight as “atomic mass” or “atomic weight” and get on with their lives.

The unified atomic mass unit is 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12. It is sometimes called the Dalton.

Definitions taken from the IUPAC Gold Book.

As far as I can tell, relative atomic masses and standard atomic weights are made unitless so that they can be used with any convenient macroscopic mass unit to determine correct proportions for a desired chemical reaction.

Compare the elements: Sn, Sb, Te, and I:
Which has the lowest ionization energy?
Why?

Answers

Answer:

Sn

Explanation:

Tin, Sn, will have the lowest ionization energy from the given choices.

  Sn is an element is the fourth group on the periodic table.

Ionization energy is a measure of the readiness of an atom to lose an electron. The lower the value, the easier it is for an atom to want to lose an electron and vice versa.

Across a period, I.E increases progressively from left to right due to the decreasing atomic radii caused by the increasing nuclear charge which is not compensated for by successive electronic shells.

       Sn, Sb, Te and I are all in the 5th period.

Calculate the mass in grams of carbon dioxide produced from 11.2 g of octane (C8H18) in the reaction above.

18 + 25 O2 --> 16 CO2 + 18 H2O


89.6 g
17.3 g
34.5 g
46.2 g

Answers

Answer:

34.6g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Octane  = 11.2g

  Reaction expression;

      2C₈H₁₈  + 25O₂  →  16CO₂  + 18H₂O

Mass of octane = 11.2g

Unknown:

Mass of carbon dioxide produced  = ?

Solution:

From the balanced reaction equation;

         2 mole of octane produced 16 moles of carbon dioxide

From the given specie, let us find the number of moles;

    Number of moles  = [tex]\frac{mass}{molar mass}[/tex]  

 Molar mass of C₈H₁₈   = 8(12) + 18(1) = 114g/mole

Number of moles of octane  = [tex]\frac{11.2}{114}[/tex]   = 0.098mole

   

    2 mole of octane produced 16 moles of carbon dioxide

    0.098 mole of octane will produce [tex]\frac{0.098 x 16}{2}[/tex]   = 0.79mole of CO₂

Mass of CO₂ = number of moles x molar mass

           Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + 2(16)  = 44g/mol

Mass of CO₂  = 0.79 x 44  = 34.6g

The percent yield of the reaction has been 74.47%.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction has been:

[tex]\rm 2\;H_2\;+\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;2\;H_2O[/tex]

(a) The theoretical yield can be calculated as:

The theoretical yield of water has been:

1 mole of oxygen produces = 2 moles of water

0.1562 moles of oxygen produces = 0.1562 [tex]\times[/tex] 2

= 0.312 moles of water.

The mass of water has been = moles [tex]\times[/tex] molecular weight

The theoretical yield of water = 0.312 [tex]\times[/tex] 18 grams

The theoretical yield of water = 5.616 grams.

(b) The limiting reactant has been the one whose concentration has been in a lesser quantity for the complete utilization of other reactants.

According to the reaction, for the complete utilization of 2 moles of Hydrogen, 1 mole of oxygen has been used.

The moles of 5 grams Hydrogen:

Moles = [tex]\rm \dfrac{weight}{molecular\;weight}[/tex]

Moles of hydrogen = [tex]\rm \dfrac{5}{1}[/tex]

Moles of hydrogen = 5 mol.

Moles of Oxygen = [tex]\rm \dfrac{5}{32}[/tex]

Moles of oxygen = 0.1562 mol.

For the complete utilization of 5 moles of hydrogen 2.5 moles of oxygen has been required.

Since the oxygen has been present in a lesser quantity, the oxygen has been the limiting reactant.

(c) The consumption of 0.1562 moles of Oxygen has required 0.312 mol of Hydrogen. The hydrogen has been present in a higher quantity than required.

Thus. hydrogen has been the excess reactant.

(d) The remained excess reactant has been:

Remained = Total - consumed

Remained = 5 - 0.312

Remained = 4.68 mol.

The excess reactant has been 4.68 mol extra than required.

(e) The theoretical yield of water has been:

1 mole of oxygen produces = 2 moles of water

0.1562 moles of oxygen produces = 0.1562 [tex]\times[/tex] 2

= 0.312 moles of water.

The mass of water has been = moles [tex]\times[/tex] molecular weight

The theoretical yield of water = 0.312 [tex]\times[/tex] 18 grams

The theoretical yield of water = 5.616 grams.

The actual yield of water has been 4.2 grams.

The percent yield of water = [tex]\rm \dfrac{Actual\;yield}{Theoretical\;yield}\;\times\;100[/tex]

The percent yield of water = [tex]\rm \dfrac{4.2}{5.616}\;\times\;100[/tex]

The percent yield of water = 74.74 %

A 2.0 sample of N2 occupy 50.0L at 15 degrees Celsius and 640mmHg. What volume will the gas occupy at 45 degrees Celsius and 160mmHg?

Answers

Answer:

220.8L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume  = 50L

Initial temperature = 15°C  = 288K

Initial pressure = 640mmHg

Final temperature  = 45°C  = 318K

Final pressure  = 160mmHg

Unknown:

Final volume  = ?

Solution:

Using the combined law;

        [tex]\frac{p_{1}v_{1} }{T_{1} }[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{p_{2}v_{2} }{T_{2} }[/tex]  

p,v and T are pressure, volume and Temperature

    [tex]\frac{640 x 50}{288}[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{160 x v_{2} }{318}[/tex]

     160 x 288 x v₂ = 640 x 50 x 318

Answers

Answer:

Ice is water in its solid form. Ice keeps its shape, even if it's removed from the container. The molecules in ice are locked into place and cannot move or slide past one another, but they do vibrate a little bit.

Explanation:

As the temperature drops or decreases, the water molecules gradually slow down. Eventually they stop moving and simply vibrate back and forth. At this point ice is formed, the solid phase of water. If the temperature is allowed to increase, the molecules will once again begin to vibrate faster and faster.

Answer:

2Fe₂O₃

Explanation:

If the number of atoms of each element are the same on reactant and product sides, it is a balanced equation. This is not a balanced equation because the number of atoms of each element are not the same on reactant and product sides.

To balance an equation, let's first list the atoms:

FeO

Then, we count the number of atoms on both sides:

1 Fe 22 O 3

We multiply the number of atoms for each element on either side by the number of molecules (aka coefficient, or "big number"):

4 Fe 26 O 3

To balance the equation, we need the total number for Fe on the right side to be 4, and the total number for O on the right side to be 6. We can do that by adding a "big number", or coefficient in front, which when multiplied by the number of atoms for each element, makes a balanced equation.

2 is a good value: 2 × 2 = 4, and 2 × 3 = 6.

As such:

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃
