It would have 18 neutrons, as a neutral atom has the same number of electrons as protons, therefore the number of protons is 17. 35-17 leaves you with 18 neutrons

Which of the following has a mass of 10.0 g?
Serjik [45]

Answer:

a.  0.119mol Kr

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must understand that;

     Mass  = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of Kr  = 83.3g/mol

                        Ar = 40g/mol

                        He = 4g/mol

                        Ne = 20.18g/mol

a0.119 mol Kr               mass  = 0.119 x 83.3 = 9.9g

b 0.400 mol Ar             mass  = 0.4 x 40  = 16g

C 1.25 mol He               mass  = 1.25 x 4  = 5g

d 2.02 mol Ne              mass  = 2.02 x 20.18  = 40.8

Krypton is the answer

Different between a bird and a rat​
Bess [88]

Explanation:

Rats and mice are both rodents, so look similar - the biggest difference is their size. Rats are larger and heavier while mice have smaller slender bodies. Mice also have long slender tails (for their body size) covered in hair compared to rat tails which are shorter, thicker and hairless

Calculate the mass in mg of the aspirin tablet that contains 5.0 grains of aspirin . Assume 1 pound contains 7000 grains.
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

323.99 mg

Explanation:

We need to find the mass of the aspirin tablet that contains 5.0 grains of aspirin.

1 pound = 7000 grains

1\ \text{grain}=\dfrac{1}{7000}\ \text{pounds}

5\ \text{grain}=\dfrac{1}{7000}\times 5\ \text{pounds}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{1400}\ \text{pounds}

We know that, 1 pound = 453.592 grams

Also, 1 pound = 453592 mg

\dfrac{1}{1400}\ \text{pounds}=\dfrac{1}{1400}\times 453592\ mg\\\\=323.99\ \text{mg}

Hence, 4 grains of aspirin contains 323.99 mg.

Complete the sentences to identify the trend in first ionization energies as one proceeds down the group 7A elements and explain
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

a)decrease

b)increase

c)smaller

d)smaller

Explanation:

Ionization energy decreases down the group due to increase in the atomic radius. The distance between the outermost electron and the nucleus increases hence the nuclear attraction for the outermost electrons become smaller and the ionization energy also become smaller as electrons are now easily removed from the outermost shell.

Hence the group of answer choices provided above.
