A sample has an atomic number is 18 and atomic mass 33, what is the number of neutrons?

Chemistry

Answer:

15 neutrons

Explanation:

the atomic mass shows the amount of neutrons and protons added together

the atomic number shows us how many protons they are (you can also find out how many electrons a element has by looking at its atomic number as it will have the same amount of protons)

so to find the amount of neutrons the sample has you have you subtract the atomic number which is the amount of protons from the mass number which tells us the amount of neutrons and protons added together but we only need the neutrons that's why we subtract it

33-18=15

Find the approximate atomic mass of a water molecule (h2o). give your answer in atomic mass units rounded to the nearest whole n
Blizzard [7]
First step is to get the mass of water molecule in grams:
From the periodic table:
molar mass of hydrogen is 1 
molar mass of oxygen is 16

molar mass of a water molecule = 2(1) + 16 = 18 gm

Now, to convert the gm into amu, all you have to do is multiply the gm you got by Avogadro's number as follows:
mass of water molecule = 18 x 6.22 x 10^23 = 1.1196 x 10^25 amu which is approximately 1 x 10^25 amu

How was flame testing used
PIT_PIT [208]
The flame test is commonly used to identify different metal ions by how they get excited in the presence of a flame.
Typically a nichrome wire is dipped in a solution of metal cations and then presented to a flame. The flame emits a different color than normal, depending on the type of metal cation. Each metal ion gets excited by the flame and as the electrons change energy levels they emit a photon of light, thus changing the color. Since each metal cation has unique energy levels, the colors differ depend on the metal cation.

I hope this helps.

Smoking marijuana can be as unhealthy as smoking cigarettes and ___________
Afina-wow [57]
The answer is all of them. But in a school situation, A would be appropriate. This is because the smoke gets into the smokers lungs, whether it be marijuana or tobacco, and can cause cancer cells to grow in your lungs and enter your bloodstream.
So A is the answer.
