- It may be said that because atomic, molecular, and formula masses are all based on carbon-12, they are conceptually alike. What then are their differences?arrow_forwardWhich of the three terms atomic mass, molecular mass, or formula mass is most appropriate for each of the following: ammonia, calcium oxide, barium, chlorine, sodium carbonate?arrow_forwardCarbonic anhydrase, an important enzyme in mammalian respiration, is a large zinc-containing protein with a molar mass of 3.00 × 104 g/mol. The zinc is 0.218% by mass of the protein. Determine how many zinc atoms each carbonic anhydrase molecule contains.arrow_forward
- Atomic masses are relative masses. What does this mean?arrow_forwardSuppose Avogadro’s number was 1000 instead of 6.0221023 . How, if at all, would this affect the relative masses on the periodic table? How, if at all, would this affect the absolute masses of the elements?arrow_forwardFor each of the following ionic substances, calculate the percentage of the overall molar mass of the compound that is represented by the negative ions in the substance. l type='a'> ammonium sulfide calcium chloride barium oxide nickel(II) sulfatearrow_forward
