Scientists can calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons which can be found in the nucleus of the element's atoms. The atomic mass of an element is the product of protons plus neutrons. The number of neutrons is not always equal to the number of protons. By subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass, the difference will be how many neutrons are in the element's nucleus.

A cube has sides that are 0.03 m . What is the volume of the cube in liters?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

0.027 litres

Explanation:

volume of cube = length × base area

volume of cube = 0.03m ×( 0.03m × 0.03m )

volume of cube = 0.03m × ( 0.0009m^2 )

volume of cube = 0.000027m^3

1 cubic metre = 1000 litres

0.000027m^3 = 0.027 litres

A compound has a percent composition of 15.24% sodium (molar mass = 22.99
RUDIKE [14]

The empirical formula of the compound obtained from the question given is NaBrO₃

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Sodium (Na) = 15.24%
  • Bromine (Br) = 52.95%
  • Oxygen (O) = 31.81%
  • Empirical formula =?

<h3>How to determine the empirical formula </h3>

The empirical formula of the compound can be obtained as illustrated below:

Divide by their molar mass

Na = 15.24 / 22.99 = 0.663

Br = 52.95 / 79.90 = 0.663

O = 31.81 / 16 = 1.988

Divide by the smallest

Na = 0.663 / 0.663 = 1

Br = 0.663 / 0.663 = 1

O = 1.988 / 0.663 = 3

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is NaBrO₃

Write a balanced overall reaction from these unbalanced half-reactions. ln-&gt;ln3+ cd2+-&gt;cd
DochEvi [55]
Oxidation reaction 
In ---> In³⁺ + 3e ---1)
reduction reaction
Cd²⁺ + 2e ---> Cd ---2)
when balancing the reactions, electrons have to be balanced. to balance the electrons multiple 1st reaction by 2 and 2nd reaction by 3
1) x 2
2) x 3
2In ---> 2In³⁺ + 6e
3Cd²⁺ + 6e ---> 3Cd
add the 2 equations to obtain the overall reaction

2In + 3Cd²⁺ ---> 2In³⁺ + 3Cd
