Answer:

26 protons, 26 electrons, 30 neutrons

Explanation:

Let P = protons, N = neutrons, E = electrons

The mass number of an atom is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.

The number of neutrons is the difference between the mass and atomic numbers of the atom

Therefore, 56 = P + N

where N = 56 - 26

N = 30

That means the number of neutrons is 30

To find P, 56 = P + N, N being 30

56 is now P + 30

56 = P + 30

56 - 30 = P

P = 26

Now, for an atom in its neutral state, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons

Therefore, E is also 26

A potato chip burned and gave off enough energy to heat up 0.5 kg of water from 20oC to 25o. The specific heat of water is 4,184
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Energy produced by the chip =10,460 Joules.

Explanation:

The specific heat of water is one calorie/gram ° C = 4.186 joules/gram ° C, which is higher than any other common substance. As a result, water plays a very important role in regulating temperature. The specific heat per gram for water is much greater than that of a metal, as described in the water-metal example. Replace the mass (m), the temperature change (ΔT), and the specific heat (c) of the solution in the equation Q = c x m x  ΔT, where Q is the heat absorbed by the solution. For specific heat of water we goes as given in the question 4,184 J/kg°C

                          Q =4184×0.5×(25-20)

                              =10,460 Joules.

Thus heat gained by water (Q)= Energy produced by the chip =10,460 Joules.

Different between chlorine and chloride​
ZanzabumX [31]
Chlorine: The greenish-yellow, highly reactive and diatomic gas that is almost never found free in nature by itself. Most Chlorine is commercially produced and is most widely known for being used within compounds to purify water and create cleaning products.

Chloride: The negatively charged ionic form of Chlorine. Since Chlorine is found deep within the Earth's crust, and is extremely reactive, the only way it can be found in nature is when it reacts with other chemicals and creates compounds. Chloride is what is created when Chlorine gains an electron and combines with other elements. Chloride is found abundantly in nature and is most commonly known for forming neutral salts such as sodium chloride (table salt), potassium chloride, and calcium chloride.

1.) No we are not alone in the universe.
2.) We are the only species on this planet with the foresight capable of deliberately plotting a path toward a desirable long-term future. Plan it for the apes; because they can’t.
3.) the state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings.
4.) Dreams are basically stories and images our mind creates while we sleep. ... Dreams can occur anytime during sleep. But most vivid dreams occur during deep, REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when the brain is most active.
5.) Definition of Solar Energy. When the sun's energy reaches the earth in the form of sunlight, it can be converted into other forms of energy. The sun is a huge ball of gas, mostly hydrogen with a little helium.
