The number of neutrons possessed by an isotope beryllium-9 is 5.

<h3>What is neutron?</h3>

Neutron is a subatomic particle forming part of the nucleus of an atom and having no charge.

The number of neutrons in the atom of an element can be calculated by subtracting the number of protons or atomic number from the mass number.

That is; no. of neutrons = mass number - no of protons

According to this question, Beryllium has an atomic number or proton number of 4. The number of neutrons in an isotope of beryllium-9 is as follows:

no of neutrons = 9 - 4 = 5

Therefore, the number of neutrons possessed by an isotope beryllium-9 is 5.

How many grams of cupric sulfate pentahydrate are needed to prepare 50.00 mL of 0.0800M CuSO4× 5H2O?

shepuryov [24]

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as number of moles per liter of solution.

Mathematically, molarity = $\frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L) of solution}$

It is given that molarity is 0.0800 M and volume is 50.00 mL or 0.05 L.

molarity = $\frac{no. of moles}{Volume of solution in liter}$

0.0800 M = $\frac{no. of moles}{0.05 L}$

no. of moles = 1.6 mol

Therefore, molar mass of cupric sulfate pentahydrate is 249.68 g/mol. So, calculate the mass as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass in grams}{molar mass}$

mass in grams = $no. of moles \times molar mass of CuSO_{4}.5H_{2}O$

= $1.6 mol \times 249.68 g/mol$

= 399.488 g

Thus, we can conclude that 399.488 g of cupric sulfate pentahydrate are needed to prepare 50.00 mL of 0.0800M CuSO4× 5H2O.

HELP!!!!!!PLZ!!!!!ASAP!!!!!

AfilCa [17]

It is an open series circuit and this is why:

its obvious its a series circuit because all the symbols are in a straight rectangle.
its an open circuit because an open circuit has something that doesn't allow the electrons to flow all the way. and the thing blocking the electrons it the switch which is open, (off).

Hope this helped!! sorry its late!!

Which statement describes how an atom in the ground state becomes excited

Marysya12 [62]

The ground<span> state of an electron, the energy level it normally occupies, is the state of lowest energy for that electron. ... An electron </span>can become excited<span> if it is given extra energy, such as if it absorbs a photon, or packet of light, or collides with a nearby </span>atom<span> or particle. (I do not take credit for that answer)</span>
