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.

How much heat (in Joules) is needed to raise the temperature of 257g of ethanol (cethanol=2.4 J/g°C) by 49.1°C?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Q = 30284.88 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ethanol = 257 g

Cp = 2.4 j/g.°C

Chnage in temperature = ΔT = 49.1°C

Heat required = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

Q = 257 g× 2.4 j/g.°C × 49.1 °C

Q = 30284.88 j

What is 25 m rounded to one significant figure
den301095 [7]

Rounded to 1 significant figure, 25 m would go to 30. This is because 0 isn't significant, so the 3 is the only significant figure.
