Mass calculating

Atomic masses calculated in this manner, using data obtained with a mass spectrometer can in principle be precise to seven or eight significant figures. The accuracy of tabulated atomic masses is limited mostly by variations in natural abundances. Sulfur is an interesting case in point. It consists largely of two isotopes, fiS and fgS. The abundance of sulfur-34 varies from about 4.18% in sulfur deposits in Texas and Louisiana to 4.34% in volcanic sulfur from Italy. This leads to an uncertainty of 0.006 amu in the atomic mass of sulfur. 

Nominal mass The mass calculated for an ion when using the integer mass values of the most abundant isotope of each element in the formula (e.g.. C = 12, O = 16, S = 32). 

The greater the mass of an individual atom, the greater the molar mass of the substance. However, most elements exist in nature as a mixture of isotopes. We saw in Section B, for instance, that neon exists as three isotopes, each with a different mass. In chemistry, we almost always deal with natural samples of elements, which have the natural abundance of isotopes. So, we need the average molar mass, the molar mass calculated by taking into account the masses of the isotopes and their relative abundances in typical samples ...

Using a laboratory balance, measure the mass of a second piece of weighing paper and record the mass in Data Table 1. Place 0.1 g of sodium acetate on the weighing paper and record the combined mass. Calculate the mass of sodium acetate and record this value in Data Table 1. Place the sodium acetate in the test tube containing the phthalic anhydride.

Mean specific heat values are tabulated in various handbooks. If the values are for unit mass, calculated from some standard reference temperature, tr, then the change in enthalpy between temperatures i and t2 is given by ... 

A certain mixture of salt (NaCl) and sugar (C12H22On) contains 50.0% chlorine by mass. Calculate the percentage of salt in the mixture. 

The DBT sulfone monooxygenase (TdsA) from Paenibacillus sp. strain All-2 has been isolated and characterized by Konishi et al [162], This enzyme was compared with the mesophilic enzyme dszA from R. erythropolis and found to have very little sequence homology however, had similar properties. The molecular mass of the enzyme TdsA was calculated by gel filtration and found to be 120 KDa, whereas with a subunit molecular mass calculated by SDS-PAGE to be 48 KDa. 

The mass sensitivity of the quartz crystal is at a maximum at the centre and decreases to zero at the edge. In general, for the purpose of mass calculation, the experimental mass-sensitive region is chosen to be the geometric working electrode area plus any of the exposed patch. 

In order to extract acetic acid from a dilute aqueous solution with isopropyl ether, the two immiscible phases are passed countercurrently through a packed column 3 m in length and 75 mm in diameter. It is found that if 0.5 kg/m2 of the pure ether is used to extract 0.25 kg/m2s of 4.0 per cent acid by mass, then the ether phase leaves the column with a concentration of 1.0 per cent acid by mass. Calculate ...

The results of the accurate mass measurements are often represented as a table, where measured mass, calculated mass, and elemental composition of ions are presented. Usually the table contains several ion compositions with the masses close to the experimental one. An example of the presentation is illustrated in Table 5.3. Five ions have their masses very close to the experimental one. Since a priori it was... 

TEQ calculations were made based on both - the WHO-TEFs and I-TEFs for seventeen 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDDs and PCDFs. Dioxin like PCBs were not measured. Total WHO-TEQ PCDD/F values for the analyzed samples range from 53.50 to 65.26 ng/kg dry mass. Calculations, based on I-TEFs were also made, to allow comparison with the literature data. The variation in the TEQ concentration may be attributed to varying loads during the sample collection period. Obtained results are higher, than medium... 

Live loads which would be blown away by a blast wave or which would not increase the inertia of a supporting member should not be included in the mass calculation. Additionally, some judgment is needed to estimate the portion of a design live loads which is normally present. For example, snow loads in cold climates may be present for relatively long durations and a portion of this live load should be included in the mass calculation. Another example is a floor live load representing personnel and furnishings which should not be included in the mass calculation. 

Using the molar mass, calculate the moles of all weighed samples. The moles of substances are converted to molarities by dividing by the volume (in liters) of the solution. Molarities may also be determined from pipet or buret readings using the dilution equation. (If a buret is used, one of the volumes is calculated from the difference between the initial and final readings.) The dilution equation may be needed to calculate the concentration of each reactant immediately after all the solutions are mixed. 

Calculate the moles of each reactant from the masses and molar masses. Then calculate the yield based on the limiting reagent. The mass of the product, determined at the end of the synthesis, divided by the mass calculated from the limiting reagent times 100%, gives the percent yield. There are numerous possible analysis calculations. 

This study is one of the earliest attempts to calculate equilibrium fractionation factors using measured vibrational spectra and simple reduced-mass calculations for diatomic molecules. For the sake of consistency I have converted reported single-molecule partition function ratios to units.
