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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ivenika [448]2 years ago
3 0

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

Which of the following would represent a single displacement reaction between Potassium Bromide (K^+Br^-) and Iodine (I), which
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Option : KBr + I -> KBr+I

Explanation:

Single-replacement reaction or single displacement reactions are a type of chemical reactions in which a whole compound reacts with an element in such a way that the element takes place of one of the compound's own elements and sets it free.

If we talk about KBr and I displacement reaction is not possible among these because Iodine is less reactive than Bromine that is why it will not react with KBr or replace Br.

                       KBr + I -> KBr+ I


Potassium Bromide + Iodine -> Potassium bromide + Iodine


Hope it help!

Explain why it is important that there be no gaps around the edges of the filter paper during a vacuum filtration
lesantik [10]

Vacuum filtration is more efficient and faster than filtration by the gravity method. But the set up of the vacuum filtration must be precise. Vacuum filtration is done under very reduced pressure hence there should be no gaps around the edges of the filter paper.   For a vacuum to be effective there must be no hole or gap in the equipment. Under vacuum conditions air is removed and the pressure is lowered. If there is gap then air would be continuously supplied and it would be difficult to remove air completely.

True or false. An excited state is less stable than a ground state
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: True!

Explanation: As electrons that are excited move between energy levels, they emit lots and lots of energy, in fact way more energy than ground state electrons (electrons that move within the same energy level) do, thus, making them more unstable.
