<u>Answer:</u> Silver has 47 electrons, 47 protons and 43 neutrons. Barium has 56 electrons, 56 protons and 76 neutrons.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.
Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
Atomic number = 47
Mass number = 90
Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 47
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 90 - 47 = 43
Hence, silver has 47 electrons, 47 protons and 43 neutrons.
Atomic number = 56
Mass number = 132
Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 56
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 132 - 56 = 76
Hence, barium has 56 electrons, 56 protons and 76 neutrons.
Answer:
Cultivated rice paddies
Drilling of natural deposits
Fossil fuel use
Burning of biomass
Landfills
Explanation:
The bulk of the methane released into the atmosphere are as a result of various human activities.
- Cultivated rice paddies are a known source of methane
- The drilling of natural deposits and their exploration can release some methane into the atmosphere
- Burning of fossil fuel and biomass is a source of methane
- Landfills produces methane as organic materials begins to decay.
Answer:
Zn3P2O8
Explanation:
In this particular question, it is necessary to convert the respective masses to percentages. We convert to percentages by placing each mass over the total mass and multiplying by 100%. Since the total is 50mg, conversion to percentage can be done by multiplying the masses by 2 as 100/50 is 2
For Oxygen = 16.58 * 2 = 33.16%
For phosphorus = 8.02 * 2 = 16.04%
For zinc = 25.40 * 2 = 50.80%
We then proceed to divide these percentages by their respective atomic masses. The atomic mass of oxygen, phosphorus and zinc are 16, 31 and 65 respectively.
O = 33.16/16 = 2.0725
P = 16.04/31 = 0.5174
Zn = 50.80/65 = 0.7815
Now, we divide by the smallest value which is that of the phosphorus
O = 2.0725/0.5174 = 4
P = 0.5174/0.5174 = 1
Zn= 0.7815/0.5174 = 1.5
Now, we need to multiply through by 2. This yields: O = 8, P = 2 and Zn = 3
The empirical formula is thus: Zn3P2O8
