Atomic Number is the same as the number of protons in an element.
Mass Number is the number of Protons + Neutrons in an element.

Atomic Number: 6 means 6 Protons
Mass Number: 15 means 15 atoms that are a proton/neutron.
We are given out of the 15 atoms, 6 of them are protons, so the other 9 must be Neutrons.

15 - 6 = 9 so there must be 9 Neutrons.

There are 9 Neutrons in atom's nucleus.

Give Brainiest if you think this is the best answer and explanation. Thanks!

- 6 protons
- 6 electrons
- 15-6 = 9 neutrons

A 12.8 g sample of ethanol (C2H5OH) is burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 5.65 kJ/°C. Using the information be
Yanka [14]
To answer the question above, we need to c<span>onvert 12.8 g to moles by dividing by 46.07 first.</span>

<span>For every mole you burn, you get 1235 kJ of heat. So multiply your number of moles by 1235. It'll be something in the neighborhood of 500. </span>

<span>Take your kJ that you calculated and divide by 5.65 to get the number of degrees that your calorimeter goes up. Add that to 25.

I hope my answer helped you</span>

A sample of gas with a mass of 21.3 g is confined to a vessel of volume 7.73 L at 0.880 atm and 30.00C.
rodikova [14]

Answer:

(a) 77.9 g/mol

(b) 3.18 g / L

Explanation:

<u>(a)</u> We need to use the ideal gas law, which states: PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the moles, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvins.

Notice that we don't have moles; we instead have the mass. Remember, though that moles can be written as m/M, where m is the mass and M is the molar mass. So, we can replace n in the equation with m/M, or 21.3/M. The components we now have are:

- P: 0.880 atm

- V: 7.73 Litres

- n: m/M = 21.3 g / M

- R: 0.08206

- T: 30.00°C + 273 = 303 K

Plug these in:

PV = nRT

(0.880)(7.73) = (21.3/M)(0.08206)(303)

Solve for M:

M = 77.9 g/mol

<u>(b)</u> The equation for the molar mass is actually:

M = (dRT)/P, where d is the density

We have all the components except d, so plug them in:

77.9 = (d * 0.08206 * 298) / 1

Solve for d:

d = 3.18 g / L

Why potasium more reactive than lithium and sodium
frez [133]
So potassium is more reactive than lithium because the outer electron of a potassium atom is further from its nucleus than the outer electron of a lithium atom. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

Classify the following reaction according to the five basic reaction types:
joja [24]

Answer:

a. single replacement

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Cd + H₂SO₄    →    CdSO₄ + H₂

In given reaction Cd replace the hydrogen and form cadmium sulfate and hydrogen gas.

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.

AB + C → AC + B

Other options are incorrect because,

Combustion:

In combustion reaction substances are burn in the presence of oxygen and form carbon dioxide and water.

Synthesis reaction:

It is the reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.

A + B  →  AB

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

AB + CD → AC +BD
