How do you find a neutron number?

Chemistry
1 answer:
MariettaO [177]3 years ago
6 0
The atomic mass of an element is the sum of the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Because electron mass is virtualy none it contributes to very little of an element's mass.

Thus the atomic mass is the sum of the number of electrons and protons. 

Therefore the number of neutrons can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass

Four flasks are prepared, each containing 100mL of aqueous solutions of equal concentration. Which solution has the lowest freez
Jet001 [13]
The freezing point depression is a colligative property which means that it is proportional to the number of particles dissolved.

The number of particles dissolved depends on the dissociation constant of the solutes, when theyt are ionic substances.

If you have equal concentrations of two solutions on of which is of a ionic compound and the other not, then the ionic soluton will contain more particles (ions) and so its freezing point will decrease more (will be lower at end).   

In this way you can compare the freezing points of solutions of KCl, Ch3OH, Ba(OH)2, and CH3COOH, which have the same concentration.

As I explained the solution that produces more ions will exhibit the greates depression of the freezing point, leading to the lowest freezing point.

In this case, Ba(OH)2 will produce 3 iones, while KCl will produce 2, CH3OH will not dissociate into ions, and CH3COOH will have a low dissociation constant.

Answer: Then, you can predict that Ba(OH)2 solution has the lowest freezing point.

Two students are given the starting material benzoic acid and are asked to prepare benzaldehyde. The first student starts by ref
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Compound A: Benzoyl chloride

Compound B: Benzaldehyde - (tBuO)₃Al complex

Compound C: Benzaldehyde

Compound D: Benzyl alcohol

Explanation:

The lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride that the first student used is a milder reagent than LAH and will stop reacting at the aldehyde.

The LAH that the second student used is much more reactive and will continue to reduce the benzoic acid as far as possible, going all the way to the alcohol.

See the attachment for the reaction steps.

Physical Changes
Talja [164]
C. Physical changes do not change the identity of a substance, only the physical appearance such as shape or form. If you break a pencil in half, it is still composed of the same material and therefore keeps its identity as the substance it was before the physical change. Phase changes, such as ice melting, is also a physical change because it changes form. But ice is still made of H20 just like water and steam are comprised of H20.

Can manganese be a catalyst
Genrish500 [490]
Manganese alone cannot be a catalyst. However, its oxides can work as a catalyst. Manganes (II, III) oxide has found some applications in certain reactions as a catalyst. These reactions are the oxidation of methane, carbon monoxide, decomposition of NO and the catalytic combustion of organic compounds.
