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

Which of the following is TRUE? a neutral solution does not contain any H3O+ or OH- a neutral solution contains [H2O] = [H3O+] a
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Options B and C

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the options and get our answer by way of elimination. The basic definition of a neutral solution is given as;

A neutral solution is a substance which is neither acid nor basic . it has a PH of 7. it will have equal amount of H+ AND OH- ions in it.

a) a neutral solution does not contain any H3O+ or OH- This is wrong because take water as an example, it is neutral but contains both ions.

b) a neutral solution contains [H2O] = [H3O+]. This option is correct cause it is in line with the definition above.

c) an acidic solution has [H3O⁺] > [OH⁻]. Acidic solutions are any solution that has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions than water. This option is correct.

d) a basic solution does not contain any H3O⁺. This option is wrong. Basic solutions are any solution that has a higher concentration of hydroxide ions than water. This means they contain H3O⁺ but  [OH⁻] is greater.

You have 0.5 L of air at 203 k in an expandable container at constant pressure. You heat the container to 273 k. What is the vol
Jobisdone [24]
You can use P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 but since pressure is constant is becomes V1/T1=V2/T2

V1=0.5 L
T1=203 K
T2=273 K
V2=unknown

0.5L/203 = V2/273
V2= 0.67 L so C

Hope this helps :)
