Maurinko [17]4 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.

During an investigation, a student burns magnesium to form magnesium oxide. The starting mass of magnesium is measured as 21.3 g
enot [183]

Answer:

Percentage yield = 85.2%

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Mg = 21.3 g

Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g

Percentage yield = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

Number of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

Number of moles of Mg = 21.3 g / 24.3 g/mol

Number of moles of Mg = 0.88 mol

Now we will compare the moles of MgO with Mg.

                 Mg           :               MgO

                 2               :               2

                0.88             :             0.88

Mass of MgO:           

Mass of MgO= moles × molar mass

Mass of MgO= 0.88 mol × 40.3g/mol

Mass of MgO =  35.46 g

Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g

Percentage yield:

Percentage yield = Actual yield/theoretical yield × 100

Percentage yield = 30.2 g/ 35.46 g × 100

Percentage yield = 85.2%

A. How many protons, electrons, and neutrons make up an atom
mestny [16]

Answer:

45 neutrons

Explanation:

Bromine has 35 protons and a mass number of 80. a) How many neutrons does the atom of bromine have? The mass number = protons + neutrons. Bromine has a mass number of 80 and 35 protons so 80-35 = 45 neutrons.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:17.955atm

Explanation:Pv=nrt

P= nrt/v

P= 7.25*0.08205*360/11.90

P= 214.1505/11.90

P=17.995atm

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

B. first level consumers.

Explanation:

The first level consumers are also the primary consumers. They are the animals that depends or rely on plants to transform chemical energy into carbohydrates and sugar.

Primary consumers are mostly herbivores. They feed on plant matter by which they derive their nutrition. They have special enzymes that helps to convert plant materials into substances needed for their body.

So, the first level consumer takes plant matter and convert them into useful food materials for their own nutrition.

The second level consumers depend on the first level consumers for nutrition.
