Answer is B) - neutrons.


Both protons and neutrons contribute to the mass of an atom. But ₈¹⁷O atom has atomic number as 8. Hence, number of protons is 8. Atomic mass of the given atom is 17.


Atomic mass = number of protons + number of neutrons


Hence, number of neutrons in the given atom is 17 - 8 = 9.


So, the number of neutrons is greater than the number of protons. Hence the greatest composition of ₈¹⁷O atom is neutrons by mass.

what is the ratio of the rate of effusion of helium (atomic mass 4.00 amu) to that of oxygen gas (molecular mass 32.0 amu)?
nignag [31]

Answer:

3 : 1

Explanation:

Let the rate of He be R1

Molar Mass of He (M1) = 4g/mol

Let the rate of O2 be R2

Molar Mass of O2 (M2) = 32g/mol

Recall:

R1/R2 = √(M2/M1)

R1/R2 = √(32/4)

R1/R2 = √8

R1/R2 = 3

The ratio of rate of effusion of Helium to oxygen is 3 : 1

A sample of an ideal gas has a mass of 0.311 grams. its volume is 0.225 l at a temperature of 55oc and a pressure of 1.166 atm.
BabaBlast [244]
Use pv=nrT


where p is the pressure,
v is the volume,
n is the number of mole (which can be equal to mass /mr),
T is the temperature in kelvin,
and r is (molar constant) = 8.31 (units)
