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

Yanka [14]3 years ago

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.

vagabundo [1.1K]

The transitions which fall to the lowest principle position release the greatest energies. In this case, this would be the transition from the 5p to the 3s orbital (a Paschen transition).

Hope this helps!

If i have 17 moles of gas at a temperature of 67c, and a volume of 88.89 liters what is the pressure of the gas
Shtirlitz [24]
Use the state equation for ideal gases: pV = nRT

Data:

V = 88.89 liter
n = 17 mol
T = 67 + 273.15 = 340.15 K

R = 0.0821 atm * liter / (K*mol)

=> p = nRT / V = 17 mol * 0.0821 (atm*liter / K*mol) * 340.15 K / 88.89 liter

p = 5.34 atm

Answer: p = 5.34 atm

3. What was the temperature in
Alexeev081 [22]
Q = mcΔT

m = 75 g
c = 4.25 J/gram°C
q = 2450 J

q/mc = ΔT

2450/(75 • 4.25) = 7.7°C

The temperature increased by 7.7°C.
