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

A species with a charge of -1 contains 57 electrons and 80 neutrons. What is the identity of the species. Note: The species show
Inga [223]

In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.

Given that the charge on the ion of the element is -1. This means that there is one electron more than the number of protons in the element.

The atomic number = Number of protons = 57 -1 = 56

Element with atomic number 56 is Barium.

Mass number of the element = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

                                                = 56 + 80 = 136

So the identity of the species: ^{136}Ba^{-}

A 0.10 M aqueous solution of sodium sulfate, Na2SO4, is a better conductor of electricity than a 0.10 M aqueous solution of sodi
Dvinal [7]

Answer: D) More moles of ions are present in a given volume of 0.10 M Na_2SO_4 than in the same volume of 0.10 M NaCl.

Explanation:

A electrolyte is a solution that dissociates completely when dissolved in water. The ions act as good conductors of electric current in the solution.

More is the number of ions , more will be the conductance and hence the solution will be a better conductor of electricity.

0.10 M aqueous solution of Na_2SO_4 is a better conductor of electricity as it dissociates to give three ions whereas 0.10 M aqueous solution of NaCl dissociates to give two ions only.

Na_2SO_4\rightarrow 2Na^++SO_4^{2-}

NaCl\rightarrow Na^++Cl^{-}

Thus 0.10 M aqueous solution of sodium sulfate, Na_2SO_4 , is a better conductor of electricity as more moles of ions are present in a given volume of 0.10 M Na_2SO_4 than in the same volume of 0.10 M NaCl
