How does an atom of chlorine-37 become a chloride ion with a -1 charge?

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

B. The atom gains 1 electron, to make a total of 18 electrons.

Explanation:

Chlorine is the 17th element in the periodic table, so it has atomic number 17:

Z = 17

This means that a neutral atom of chlorine has 17 protons and 17 electrons.

When a chlorine atom gains 1 electron, its electric charge (initially zero) becomes -1, since the electron has negative charge of -1 (in elemntary charge units). This also means that the number of electrons in the ion is now

17 + 1 = 18

So the correct answer is

B. The atom gains 1 electron, to make a total of 18 electrons

In a laundromat, during the spin-dry cycle of a washer, the rotating tub goes from rest to its maximum angular speed of 2.2 rev/

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

$n_{T} = 31.68\,rev$

Explanation:

The angular acceleration is:

$\ddot n_{1} = \frac{2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} -0\,\frac{rev}{s} }{8.8\,s}$

$\ddot n_{1} = 0.25\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$

And the angular deceleration is:

$\ddot n_{2} = \frac{0\,\frac{rev}{s}-2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} }{20\,s}$

$\ddot n_{2} = -0.11\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$

The total number of revolutions is:

$n_{T} = n_{1} + n_{2}$

$n_{T} = \frac{\left(2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(0.25\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} \right)} + \frac{\left(0\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-0.11\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$n_{T} = 31.68\,rev$

A mechanic turns a wrench using a force of 27.00 N at a distance of 16.00 cm from the rotation axis. The force is perpendicular

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:4.32Nm

Explanation:

The magnitude of the torque will be the product of the force and its perpendicular distance from the force.

Force = 27N

Perpendicular distance = 16cm = 0.16m

Torque = 27×0.16

Torque = 4.32Nm
