    Determining the Relative Atomic Mass of Lithium An experiment has been carried out to determine the relative atomic mass of Lithium by using two different types of methods The first method that was carried out was to determine the volume of Hydrogen produced. In this experiment a fixed amount of Lithium was used, in my case it was 0.11g. At the end of this experiment, the volume of Hydrogen gas I collected was 185cm³. Then using the solution of lithium hydroxide made from experiment

    Determination of Relative Atomic Mass of Lithium Evaluation: In general the accuracy of the experiments was good. However with practice, the accuracy could be improved; accuracy being how close the results are to the real answer. I think I have carried pit the experiment as well as I possibly could at the time with the given conditions and time period allowed. I have gained precise results from the practical. However, looking back at the analysis section, the relative atomic mass values I found

    Investigating the Relative Atomic Mass of Lithium Background information I’m going to produce a piece of coursework, which determine the relative atomic mass of lithium. Two methods are going to be used to approximate the relative atomic mass of lithium. 1) In the first method the RAM (Relative atomic mass) of lithium is determined by the Volume of hydrogen gas produced. 2) In the second method the RAM of lithium is determined by titrating the lithium

    Xenon Xenon is element number 54 on the periodic table of the elements. It has a mass of roughly 131 atomic mass units. There are 77 neutrons and 54 protons in the nucleus of the atom. The symbol for xenon is Xe and it belongs to the family of elements called the noble gases. It is called a noble gas because the valance shell of one atom contains a full shell. Xenon is one of the most stable elements on the table. The 54 electrons are arranged, so that there are 2 in the 1st shell, 8 in the 2nd

I can support the point I've made above by faradays law which is: Faraday's Second Law of electrolysis states that: "The mass of an element deposited by one Faraday of electricity is equal to the atomic mass in grams of the element divided by the number of electrons required to discharge one ion of the element." Hypothesis: The mass of the anode should

    atoms of low mass, which are initially attracted to each other, to form one atom of greater mass. When two atoms combine to form a single atom, they have fused. This fusing releases a large amount of energy with respect to the amount of mass and energy that was initially put into the reaction. This combination releases energy in the form of light and heat. Energy is created in a fusion reaction through the loss of atomic mass from the beginning to the end of the reaction. The mass of the two atoms

  • Copper

    Copper has many chemical properties that make it unique. The Atomic number of copper is 29. An Atomic number is a measure of the amount of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Protons are sub-atomic particles, which have a positive charge. The Atomic mass of copper is 63.546. The Atomic mass is a measure of how many neutrons and protons are in an atom. Neutrons are sub- atomic particles, which have no charge. Thus, using the Atomic mass and Atomic number of Copper, we can determine that it has 29 proton

    hydrogen is composed of one proton. Deuterium, present in ordinary hydrogen to the extent of 0.02 percent, contains one proton and one neutron in the nucleus of each atom and has an atomic mass of two. Tritium , an unstable, radioactive isotope, contains one proton and two neutrons in the nucleus of each atom, and has an atomic mass of three. Both deuterium and tritium are essential components of nuclear fusion weapons, or hydrogen bombs. Free hydrogen is found only in very small traces in the atmosphere

To calculate the percent composition of element of a compound, the molar mass of the compound must be found by adding up the masses of each atom in the compound (Texas A&M University, "Chemistry"). This can be done by using a periodic table. Then the mass of the element must be calculated by adding up the mass of its atoms (Texas A&M University, "Chemistry"). Then the mass of the element must be

    1869, a Russian chemist named Dmitri Mendeleev separately published results which supported the ideas of periodicity suggested a few years earlier by John Newlands. Mendeleev arranged the 60 or so elements known to him in order of increasing relative atomic mass. His first table showed that elements with similar properties fall in the same vertical column. These columns of similar elements are called groups and the horizontal rows of elements are called periods. Mendeleev's table had gaps, he left
