How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 30 and its mass number is 70?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Yanka [14]3 years ago
3 0
The answer is 40.

We can solve this by finding out the number of protons, and neutrons. Atomic number of an element means the number of protons in that element. So, the atom has 30 protons if the atomic number is 30.

On the other hand, mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons, but not electrons, because they're too light comparing to the other 2. Therefore, we can simply solve the number of neutrons in the atom by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. 70 - 30 = 40.

Therfore, the number of neutrons is 40.

For which of the following can a relative age be determined? Select all that apply.
Allushta [10]

Answer: A. fossil

B. rock layer

Explanation:

Relative aging or dating can be define as the technique for determination of the age of the rock and fossil. It is a method of determining the chronological order of the past events by comparing the stratigraphic column of rocks and sediments with each other. This method can only give relative age of one object in comparison with the other but does not give the absolute date.

How does the emission spectrum support the idea of quantized energy levels
ryzh [129]

Explanation:

Different atoms absorb and emit specific wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation and nothing in between. These absorption and emission spectra are actually used to identify atoms of elements in a substance. This phenomenon is explained by Bohr's theory of quantized energy levels in an atom – called orbital levels. When an electron 'jumps' from a lower to higher orbital level, it absorbs a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation specific to the ‘jump’. Vice versa, when an electron 'jumps' to a lower orbital level is emits an equivalent  and specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation.

What volume of chlorine gas (Cl2), measured at STP, can be produced by the decomposition of 73.0g of hydrogen chloride gas (HCl)
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Explanation:

2HCl    =   H₂   +   Cl₂

2 mole     1 mole      1 mole

73 gram HCl = 73 / 36.5 = 2 mole of HCl

2 moles of HCl will produce 1 mole of chlorine gas .

At STP , one mole of chlorine gas has volume equal to 22.4 litre .

What salt is formed by the reaction of potassium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid?
Nina [5.8K]

Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is formed when Potassium forms ionic bonds with OH-ions while Potassium Oxide (K2O) is formed when potassium forms ionic bonds with the Oxide (O2-) ions. i.e. This reaction is a neutralization reaction and occurs when an acid (HCl) reacts with a base (KOH).
