Atomic mass of elements

Unknown element X combines with oxygen to form the compound XO2. If 44.0 grams of element X combines with 8.00 grams of oxygen, what is the atomic mass of element X ... 

Atomic weight of oxygen is 16.00. According to this, the atomic weight of hydrogen is 1.008. As this was also found to be unsatisfactory, the atomic mass (or weight) of carbon of atomic mass 12 (12C) is taken as the reference for defining atomic masses of elements. 

Use the table below to calculate the atomic mass of element X. Then use the periodic table to identify the element. Show all your work.

Emergence of chemical atomism. The beginning of the 19th century was marked by the emergence of atomic theory developed by the famous English scientist John Dalton (1766-1844). According to Dalton, atoms combine in multiple proportions. Thus, if two atoms form only one compound, they associate in the 1 1 ratio if two atoms form two compounds, their ratios in these compounds are respectively 1 1 and 1 2, and so on. Accordingly, Dalton adopted the formula HO for water, CO for carbon monoxide, COg for carbon dioxide, and so on. From these formulas he determined the atomic masses of elements. It is clear that frequently both atomic masses and chemical formulas of Dalton were not correct. 

The percentage of mass in an element in a compound can easily be found when the molecular formula and molar mass (or atomic mass) of elements are known. 

Find the molar masses for the following compounds (Look at the periodic table for the atomic mass of elements in Appendbc D). 

Use a periodic table or isotopic composition data to determine the average atomic masses of elements. 

Element A has two isotopea One has an atomic mass of 120 and constitutes 60% the other has an atomic mass of 122 and constitutes 40%. Which range below includes the average atomic mass of Element A ... 

A Lewis dot diagram is a convenient, shorthand method to represent an element and its valence electrons. You have used the periodic table already as a source of information about the symbols, names, atomic numbers, and average atomic masses of elements. In Chapter 3, you will learn that the arrangement of elements on the periodic table yields even more infor mation about the electronic structures of atoms and how those structures can help you to predict many of the properties of elements. 

Each nucleus is characterized by a definite atomic number Z and mass number A for clarity, we use the symbol M to denote the atomic mass in kinematic equations. The atomic number Z is the number of protons, and hence the number of electrons, in the neutral atom it reflects the atomic properties of the atom. The mass number gives the number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) isotopes are nuclei (often called nuclides) with the same Z and different A. The current practice is to represent each nucleus by the chemical name with the mass number as a superscript, e.g., 12C. The chemical atomic weight (or atomic mass) of elements as listed in the periodic table gives the average mass, i.e., the average of the stable isotopes weighted by their abundance. Carbon, for example, has an atomic weight of 12.011, which reflects the 1.1% abundance of 13C. 

This very convincing use of Gay-Lussac s law and Avogadro s hypothesis by Cannizzaro quickly provided the chemical community with a direct way of establishing not only the molecular formulas of binary compounds but also the relative atomic masses of elements, starting with quantitative analytical data and the density of the appropriate gaseous substances.
