Relative molecular mass using unified mass unit

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the relative molecular mass of krypton gas, the mass of a krypton atom is divided by the unified mass unit, resulting in a value of approximately 83 amu. This value is equivalent to the relative molecular mass, which is typically expressed in grams per mole. The discussion highlights a confusion regarding the units and definitions of molecular mass versus atomic mass. A chemistry teacher clarified that relative molecular mass is indeed represented in grams per mole. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate calculations in chemistry.

The problem
A bubble of kryptopn (Kr) gas is formed underwater. The bubble has a volume of 2.14x10-6m3 and contains 1.70x1020 krypton molecules each of mass 1.39x10-25kg. The pressure of the gas inside the bubble is 300kPa.

Calculate the relative molecular mass.The attempt at a solution

When i looked in the markscheme of this paper, the answer was Mr=1.39x10-25/1.66x10-27 as the answer. so does this mean to find the relative molecular mass i divide the mass by the unified mass unit?

What you have calculated is the mass of a Krypton atom in amu (Atomic Mass Units)
= 83
 
is that the same as the relative molecular mass? what i worked out is what the markscheme had written as the result.
 
I have asked a chemistry teacher friend and he said relative molecular mass is given in grams per mole4

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
