Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number is the sum of only total number of protons present in an element. Whereas mass number is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.

For example, given atom has mass number as 15 and its atomic number is 7.

Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.

                    Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                         15 = 7 + no. of neutrons

                    no. of neutrons = 15 - 7

                                               = 8

Thus, we can conclude that the given atom contains 8 neutrons in the nucleus.

Consider an ideal gas at 30 ∘C and 1.02 atm pressure. To get some idea how close these molecules are to each other, on the avera
Nastasia [14]

Answer: They are close to each other by 41.03 m^3

Explanation:

From Ideal gas equation, PV = nRT

Where n is negligible

R is gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.k

T = 30 + 273 = 303K

P = 1.02 * 103351.5 = 103351.5 Pascal

Then;

PV = RT

V = P/RT

V = 103351.5/(8.314*303)

V = 41.03m^3
