Chemistry

Answer:

1.) ⁴₂He

2.) ⁶₂He

3.) ²⁴²₉₄Pu

4.) ¹₀n

Explanation:

The superscript represents the mass number, which is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an element.

The subscript represents the atomic number, which is the total amount of protons in an element.

You can identify the element based on the atomic number. For instance, all atoms with a subscript/atomic number of 2 must always be helium (He). An element with an atomic number of 0 is represented by the symbol "n". The mass number and atomic numbers must be equal on both sides of the reaction.

1.) ¹₁H + ³₁H  → ⁴₂He

    -----> Mass Number: 1 + 3 = 4

    -----> Atomic Number: 1 + 1 = 2

2.) ⁹₄Be + ¹₁H → He + ⁶₂He

    -----> Standard helium (He) has a mass number of 4 and an atomic number of 2

    -----> Mass Number: 9 + 1 - 4 = 6

    -----> Atomic Number: 4 + 1 - 2 = 2

3.) ²³⁹₉₂U + ⁴₂He →  ²⁴²₉₄Pu + ¹₀n

    -----> Mass Number: 239 + 4 - 1 = 242

    -----> Atomic Number: 92 + 2 - 0 = 94

4.) ²⁷₁₃Al + ¹₀n → ²⁴₁₁Na + ⁴₂He

    -----> Mass Number: 24 + 4 - 27 = 1

    -----> Atomic Number: 11 + 2 - 13 = 0

How many alkali metals will combine with 1 oxygen family member
Daniel [21]
The alkali metals are so reactive that they are never found in nature in elemental form. Although some of their ores are abundant, isolating them from their ores is somewhat difficult. For these reasons, the group 1 elements were unknown until the early 19th century, when Sir Humphry Davy first prepared sodium (Na) and potassium (K) by passing an electric current through molten alkalis. (The ashes produced by the combustion of wood are largely composed of potassium and sodium carbonate.) Lithium (Li) was discovered 10 years later when the Swedish chemist Johan Arfwedson was studying the composition of a new Brazilian mineral. Cesium (Cs) and rubidium (Rb) were not discovered until the 1860s, when Robert Bunsen conducted a systematic search for new elements. Known to chemistry students as the inventor of the Bunsen burner, Bunsen’s spectroscopic studies of ores showed sky blue and deep red emission lines that he attributed to two new elements, Cs and Rb, respectively. Francium (Fr) is found in only trace amounts in nature, so our knowledge of its chemistry is limited. All the isotopes of Fr have very short half-lives, in contrast to the other elements in group 1.

Groundwater in an area flows at a speed of 4km/h. How long would it take the water to flow 10 km t it’s springs
joja [24]
You want to divide 10 by 4 to get the number of hours it will take for the water to get to the springs, which is 2.5, so it would take the water 2.5 hours to revel to it’s spring

What is the mass of solute in a 500 mL solution of 0.200 M
Fofino [41]

16.4 grams is the mass of solute in a 500 mL solution of 0.200 M .

sodium phosphate

Explanation:

Given data about sodium phosphate

atomic mass of Na3PO4 = 164 grams/mole

volume of the solution = 500 ml or 0.5 litres

molarity of sodium phosphate solution = 0.200 M

The formula for molarity will be used here to know the mass dissolved in the given volume of the solution:

The formula is

molarity = \frac{number of moles of solute}{volume in litres}

    putting the values in the equation, we get

molarity x volume = number of moles

0.200 X 0.5= number of  moles

number of moles = 0.1 moles

Atomic mass x number of moles = mass

putting the values in the above equation

164 x 0.1 = 16.4 grams

16.4 grams of sodium phosphate is present in 0.5 L of the solution to make a 0.2 M solution.
