How many neutrons do (k) potassium-39 and potassium-40 have, respectively?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]3 years ago
7 0
Potassium’s atomic number in periodic table is 19, Potassium can only have a mass numbers of 41, 40 and 39. Potassium 39, 40, and 41 are all different isotopes of the element potassium. Each of the isotopes has 19 electrons and 19 protons but the number of neutrons vary. So, in your question Potassium-39 has twenty (20) neutrons, and potassium-40 has 21 neutrons.

What happens to an object at rest if balanced forces act upon it?
OLga [1]

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts on it. If you apply balanced forces on the object there would be no net force. The body does not accelerate but instead stays at rest.

Another way to look at this problem is to use Newton's second law of motion. The first law states that F = m\times a, where a is the accelerationF is the net force and m is the mass of the object.

When F is zero, the acceleration of the object is zero. This means that if the object had a velocity of zero before the balanced forces started acting, the velocity will stay at zero after the balanced forces begin to act. If  the object was moving at a constant velocity before the balanced forces started acting on it, it would continue at that constant velocity after the balanced forces begin to act.

If you have 1.1 moles of magnesium nitrate then how many grams is that
marysya [2.9K]

Answer: 162.8 grams

Explanation:

Magnesium nitrate has a chemical formula of Mg(NO3)2.

Given that:

Number of moles of Mg(NO3)2 = 1.1 moles

Mass in grams of Mg(NO3)2 = ?

For Molar mass of Mg(NO3)2, use atomic mass of magnesium = 24g, nitrogen = 14g, oxygen = 16g

Mg(NO3)2 = 24g + (14g + 16gx3) x 2

= 24g + (14g + 48g) x 2

= 24g + (62g) x 2

= 24g + 124g

= 148g/mol

Now, apply the formula:

Number of moles = Mass in grams / molar mass

1.1 moles = Mass / 148g/mol

Mass = 1.1 moles x 148g/mol

Mass = 162.8 grams

Thus, there are 162.8 grams of magnesium nitrate.

How do protons electrons and neutrons differ in charge and location in the atom?
dlinn [17]
Electrons are electrochemically negatively charged particles that move random around the nucleus. They have a relatively small mass compared to Protons and Neutrons. They are found in electron clouds that surround the nucleus and their movement and properties provide for the bonding characteristics of each atom.
