Atomic Number definition: The number of protons within the nucleus of x atom.

Atomic Mass definition: The number of protons and/+ neutrons within the nucleus of x atom. 

The given information states that the element has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nuclei with 8 electrons revolving around it. If the atomic number is 'the number of protons' and we have 8 given protons, our answer would be 8.  If the atomic mass is protons + neutrons and we have 8 protons and neutrons, our answer for atomic mass would inevitably be 16. 

Therefore

Atomic number: 8

Atomic mass: 16

What is the product when magnesium reacts with nitrogen? Mg(s) + N2(g) → Mg2N3(s) Mg3N(s) Mg3N2(s) MgN3(s)
bixtya [17]
Look at the periodic table to find the charge on atoms.
 Magnesium is +2 and Nitrogen is -3. Since there are two nitrogen charge 2*-3 = -6 there needs to be 3 Mg then (3*2+ = 6+) to pair with the two nitrogen.
3 Mg(+2) + 2 N(-3) = Mg3N2

A sample of an ideal gas has a mass of 0.311 grams. its volume is 0.225 l at a temperature of 55oc and a pressure of 1.166 atm.
BabaBlast [244]
Use pv=nrT


where p is the pressure,
v is the volume,
n is the number of mole (which can be equal to mass /mr),
T is the temperature in kelvin,
and r is (molar constant) = 8.31 (units)

How many liters of h2 gas, collected over water at an atmospheric pressure of 752 mm hg and a temperature of 21.0°c, can be made
natta225 [31]
Answer:  
The balanced equation tells us that 1 mole of Zn will produce 1 mole of H2.  
1.566 g Zn x (1 mole Zn / 65.38 g Zn) = 0.02395 moles Zn  
0.02395 moles Zn x (1 mole H2 / 1 mole Zn) = 0.02395 moles H2 produced  
Now use the ideal gas law to find the volume V.  
P = 733 mmHg x (1 atm / 760 atm) = 0.964 atm  
T = 21 C + 273 = 294 K  
PV = nRT 
V = nRT/ P = (0.02395 moles H2)(0.0821 L atm / K mole)(294 K) / (0.964 atm) = 0.600 L

Answer:

\text{C. } _{36}^{85}\text{Kr}

Explanation:

Your nuclear equation is  

_{35}^{85}\text{Br} \longrightarrow \, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} +\, _{x}^{y}\text{X}

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that

  • the sum of the superscripts and must be the same on each side of the equation.
  • the sum of the subscripts must be the same on each side of the equation.  

Then  

85 = 0 + y, so y = 85 - 0 = 0  

35 = -1 + x, so x = 35 + 1 = 36

The nucleus with atomic number 36 and atomic mass 85 is krypton-85.  

The nuclear equation becomes  

_{35}^{85}\text{Br} \longrightarrow \, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, _{36}^{85}\text{Kr}

If the speed of a sound wave increases what other property of the wave must also increase when all other wave properties are hel
kati45 [8]
<h2>Frequency</h2>

Explanation:

Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time.

Wave speed is the speed at which a wave travels.

Let the wave speed be v

Let the wave frequency be f

Let the wave length be l

The wave speed,frequency and wave length are related by the equation v=f\times l.

When v increases,f increases on the other side to maintain equality when no other property is changing.
