Why is it important to use a weighted average when determining the average atomic mass of your element?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is important to use a weighted average because different isotopes of an element have different atomic masses due to the presence of different numbers of neutrons. The abundance of each isotope also varies, meaning some isotopes are more common than others. By using a weighted average, the more abundant isotopes have a greater contribution to the overall average atomic mass of the element, providing a more accurate representation.

How do you solve Conversion of Mass?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can convert molecules to mass easily using the fact that there are 6.022*10^23 molecules in a mole of an substance. Convert your molecules to moles, then use the molar mass of your substance to determine the mass.

Why is the atomic mass number not a whole number?

Asked by Wiki User

We can find Atomic Mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.

Why do you kneel sit and stand at mass?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Psalms 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Romans 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Asked by Wiki User

1. atomic number and the ratios of its naturally occurring isotopes.

2. atomic number and the half-lives of each of its isotopes.

3. masses and the ratios of its naturally occurring isotopes.

4. masses and the half-lives of each of its isotopes.

answer: 3. masses and the ratios of its naturally occurring isotopes.

Atomic mass and mass number?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Atomic mass is the number of protons present in the nucleus or number of electrons revolving around the nucleus in an atom .It is denoted by Z.

Mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons present in a nucleus in an atom .It is denoted by A.

What units do you measure mass?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The measurement of mass is usually kg(kilograms) for large masses and g(gram) for small masses.The word kilo means 1000 so it's just another way to say 1000 grams. You can also use mg(milligrams). Mill means thousandths. So if you put that in a decimal it would be 0.001. So a 1000mg=1 gram.

How do you find the atomic mass for the element krypton?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

the atomic mass is the atomic weight. look at your periodic table and you will find its 83.8 which is 84

What gas has an atomic mass of 20?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, Neon (Ne), a noble gas; the atomic weight (IUPAC 2005) is 20,1797 ± 0,0006. For the elements the expression atomic weight is accepted as correct after the traditional definition of IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Apllied Chemistry).

Mass is measured by?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mass is a measure of the resistance of an object to changes in velocity, as described by Newton's Second Law, F=ma (weight is the force generated when the acceleration is due to gravity).

The reference standard for mass is the International Prototype Kilogram, so you could use a set of scales to compare your object to that. You could measure the extension of a spring with the object hanging from it, knowing how much a spring extends normally (Hooke's law).

If you found yourself somewhere without gravity, you could spin the object round on the end of a rope and measure the force it takes to keep it in a circle, or attach a rocket which provides a known amount of thrust.

As a cataclysmic alternative, you could fire antimatter at the object until it was entirely destroyed, and measure the energy released using E=mc2 to find the mass destroyed, which will be your object and an equivalent mass of antimatter.

What element has an atomic mass of 120?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The element with the atomic number 120 is theoretical and hasn't been observed. However, it does still have a systematic IUPAC placeholder name - Unbinilium (Ubn). No attempts have ever been made to create this element. If it were to be discovered, it would fit in under Radium as an Alkaline Earth Metal.

How would you calculate the atomic mass of atom without using the periodic table if you know the number of protons electrons and neutrons?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Add the number of protons plus the number of neutrons for an approximate answer. Compared to protons and neutrons, electrons have zero mass - it takes over 1800 electrons to equal the mass of a proton or neutron.
