Answer:

Protons = 89

Neutrons = 142

Electrons = 89

Option C

Explanation:

Hello,

Were required to find the proton, neutron and electron of an element Y

The atomic mass of element Y is composed of the protons and neutrons while the atomic number is the exact amount of protons present in the element.

Element = ₈₉²³¹Y

Atomic number = 89

Number of protons = 89

Number of electrons = 89

Atomic mass = 231

Atomic mass = protons + neutrons

231 = 89 + neutrons

Neutrons = 231 - 89

Neutrons = 142

Therefore the number of protons is 89, number of neutrons is 142 and number of electrons is 89.

Note: for an electrically neutral atom, the number of protons must be equal to the number of electrons

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

0.35 atm

Explanation:

It seems the question is incomplete. But an internet search shows me these values for the question:

" At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure thiophene (C₄H₄S) is measured to be 0.60 atm. Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing 137. g of thiophene and 111. g of heptane (C₇H₁₆). Calculate the partial pressure of thiophene vapor above this solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution is ideal."

Keep in mind that if the values in your question are different, your answer will be different too. However the methodology will remain the same.

First we calculate the moles of thiophene and heptane, using their molar mass:

137 g thiophene ÷ 84.14 g/mol = 1.63 moles thiophene

111 g heptane ÷ 100 g/mol = 1.11 moles heptane

Total number of moles = 1.63 + 1.11 = 2.74 moles

The mole fraction of thiophene is:

1.63 / 2.74 = 0.59

Finally, the partial pressure of thiophene vapor is:

Partial pressure = Mole Fraction * Vapor pressure of Pure Thiophene

Partial Pressure = 0.59 * 0.60 atm

Pp = 0.35 atm
