The atomic number is 43. This means it is Technetium. If its mass number is 164, then the number of neutrons is: 164 - 43 = 121. It has 121 neutrons.

Hello, 
The mass number is protons+neutrons=mass number. In this case, we have protons+nuetron=164.The atomic number is simply the number of protons so we have 43+neutrons=164. Subtracting 43 from both sides we get nuetrons=121. Hope this helps!

Contrast the average speed and the instantaneous speed of runner in a race.
ehidna [41]

Average speed of the runner is the rate at which the runner covers the total distance. Average speed of the runner in the race is given by,

Average speed = \frac{Total distance}{Total time}

Where

Total distance = Distance covered by the runner from initial to final position

Total time = time taken by the runner to cover entire distance

Instantaneous speed is the speed of the runner at the particular moment in the given time. Instantaneous speed is given by,

Instantaneous speed = \frac{dx}{dt}

x = position of the runner at time t

t = time taken to cover distance x

Hence, Average speed and instantaneous speed are different for a runner running in the race.

A 285-mL flask contains pure helium at a pressure of 750 torr . A second flask with a volume of 455 mL contains pure argon at a
zaharov [31]

Answer:

P_{He}^|=288.85torr

Explanation:

Given data

P_{He}=750 torr\\V_{He}=285mL\\P_{Ar}=732 torr\\V_{Ar}=455 mL

Required

Partial pressure of helium

Solution

First calculate the total volume of gas mixture once the stopcock is opened

So

V_{total}=V_{He}+V_{Ar}\\V_{total}=285mL+455mL\\V_{total}=740mL

As temperature remains constant,by Boyle's Law we calculate the partial pressure of the helium gas

So

P_{He}V_{He}=P_{He}^|V_{total}\\P_{He}^|=\frac{P_{He}V_{He}}{V_{total}}\\P_{He}^|=\frac{750torr*285mL}{740mL}\\  P_{He}^|=288.85torr

A system of 4 electrons, 18 protons, and 4 neutrons has a net charge of?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

+ 14

Explanation:

18 protons make a positive 18 charge (+18)

4 electrons make a negative 4 charge (-4)

both combined give + 18 - 4 = + 14

The four neutrons don't carry net charge, so the addition of the electrons doesn' affect the net charge found above which still gives + 14.
