Sodium has 11 protons, therefore number of neutrons must be 23 – 11 = 12 neutrons.

Sodium has 12 neutrons.

<h3>What are neutrons?</h3>

The neutron is a subatomic particle with the symbol n that is slightly heavier than a proton and has a neutral charge (i.e., neither a positive nor a negative charge). Atoms' nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are both referred to as nucleons because of how similarly they function inside the nucleus and because they both have masses that are about equal to one atomic mass unit. Nuclear physics describes their characteristics and interactions.

The arrangement of electrons around an atom's hefty nucleus largely determines its chemical characteristics. The amount of protons, or atomic number, determines the charge of the nucleus, which determines the electron configuration.

Based on the kinetic molecular theory, which of the following statements is correct about the particles in a sample of gas at a
fgiga [73]

Answer:

There is a lot of empty space between them.

Explanation:

The kinetic molecular theory postulates that a substance is made up of tiny particles called molecules. The molecules of a gas are in constant random motion and collide elastically with each other. They also collide with the walls of the container.

The magnitude of intermolecular forces of attraction between gas molecules is very small. Hence gas molecules are largely apart with a lot of empty space between gas molecules.

What is the maximum pressure at which solid CO2 (dry ice) can be converted into CO2 gas without melting?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The triple point of carbon dioxide is 5.11 atmosphere at -56.6 degree celsius . At pressure greater than 5.11 , solid carbon dioxide liquefies ,  as it is warmed. At pressure lesser than 5.11 atmosphere , it will go into gaseous state without liquefying . Excessive pressure helps liquification process.

So maximum pressure required is 5.11 atmosphere. Beyond this pressure , solid CO2 will liquify.

The total volume of seawater is 1.5 x 10²¹ L. Seawater contains approximately 3.5% sodium chloride by mass. At that high of a co
garri49 [273]

Answer:

There are 5.408\times 10^{22} grams contained in all the seawater in the world.

Explanation:

At first let is determinate the total mass of seawater (m_{sw}), measured in grams, in the world by definition of density and considering that mass is distributed uniformly:

m_{sw} = \rho_{sw}\cdot V_{sw}

Where:

\rho_{sw} - Density of seawater, measured in grams per liters.

V_{sw} - Volume of seawater, measured in liters.

If V_{sw} = 1.5\times 10^{21}\,L and \rho_{sw} = 1030\,\frac{g}{L}, then:

m_{sw}=\left(1030\,\frac{g}{L} \right)\cdot (1.5\times 10^{21}\,L)

m_{sw} = 1.545\times 10^{24}\,g

The total mass of sodium chloride is determined by the following ratio:

r = \frac{m_{NaCl}}{m_{sw}}

m_{NaCl} = r\cdot m_{sw}

Given that m_{sw} = 1.545\times 10^{24}\,g and r = 0.035, the total mass of sodium chloride in all the seawater in the world is:

m_{NaCl} = 0.035\cdot (1.545\times 10^{24}\,g)

m_{NaCl} = 5.408\times 10^{22}\,g

There are 5.408\times 10^{22} grams contained in all the seawater in the world.
