Answer:

10 neutrons

Explanation:

The mass of is made up of the total protons and neutrons in an atom.

Each particle has a mass of 1 amu (atomic mass unit).

All fluorine atoms have 9 protons.

If each proton is 1 amu, the protons must contribute 9 amu to the total mass of the atom (9 x 1 amu = 9 amu).

This means the neutrons must contribute a total mass of 10 amu (18.998 amu - 9 amu = ~10 amu).

If each neutron has a mass of 1 amu, there must be 10 neutrons in a fluorine atom (10 amu / 1 amu = 10 amu).

Please help!! Which process occurs during all chemical reactions?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

In a chemical reaction, only the atoms present in the reactants can end up in the products. No new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. In a chemical reaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.

Consider this equilibrium constant expression:
alex41 [277]
The answer would be: <span>D. Kb for HS–
</span>
Kb is the dissociation constant of an acid/base molecule. The word b in Kb is base, which means the formula should have an OH- ion inside it. Ka would be the opposite of Kb where the formula has H+ ion.
In this question, the formula is: [H2S][OH-]/ [HS-]
Since there are OH- ion. Since H2S is acid and HS- is base, I think it should be <span>Kb for HS–

alekssr [168]
Considering the reaction:
3NO₂ + H₂O → 2HNO₃ + NO

To produce 3.56 moles of nitric acid, we require:
3.56 x 3/2 moles of NO₂
Moles of NO₂ = 5.34 moles of NO₂

What volume in litres will 38gr of F2 occupy at 0.999 bar and 273 K
Oliga [24]

Answer:

V=22.68L

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we use the ideal gas equation to compute the volume as shown below:

PV=nRT\\\\V=\frac{nRT}{P}

Nonetheless we are given mass, for that reason we must compute the moles of gaseous fluorine (molar mass: 38 g/mol) as shown below:

n=38 g *\frac{x}{y}  \frac{1mol}{38 g} =1mol

Thus, we compute the volume with the proper ideal gas constant, R:

V=\frac{1mol*0.083\frac{bar*L}{mol*K}*273K}{0.999bar} \\\\V=22.68L

Best regards.
