How many neutrons are in an arsenic atom? I belive there are 42, but better safe than sorry!

Physics

Arsenic is Element Number 33 ... it has 33 protons in its nucleus.

You're correct that the stable isotope of the atom is the one with
42 neutrons, for a total Atomic Weight of 75.

Atoms of Arsenic also exist with 41 neutrons and 40 neutrons
in their nucleus, but those are unstable.

The nucleus with 41 neutrons (Atomic Weight = 74) has a 50% chance
of falling apart and becoming a nucleus of Germanium within 80 days.

The nucleus with 40 neutrons (Atomic Weight = 73) has a 50% chance
of falling apart and becoming a nucleus of Germanium within 18 days.

Why the greater the depth, the greater the pressure?
Tatiana [17]
Well, the reason behind this is because water depth (I assume you're talking about water/liquid) increases the pressure because of the weight and volume of the water above. I hope this helps! ~Mia

Give the relationship(s) for any pair of protons with the proper term(s). Label – your choice. A.Heterotopic B.Heterotopic, dias
Afina-wow [57]

Answer and Explanation

• Heterotopic protons are those that when substituted by the same substituent, are structurally different. They are not similar, diastereotopic or enantiotopic.

• Diastreotopic protons refers to two protons in a molecule which, if replaced by the same substituent, would generate compounds that are diastereomers. Diastereotopic groups are often, but not always, identical groups attached to the same atom in a molecule containing at least one chiral center.

For example, the two hydrogen atoms of the C3 carbon in (S)-2-bromobutane are diastereotopic (shown in the attached image). Replacement of one hydrogen atom with a bromine atom will produce (2S,3R)-2,3-dibromobutane. Replacement of the other hydrogen atom with a bromine atom will produce the diastereomer (2S,3S)-2,3-dibromobutane.

• Homotopic protons in a compound are equivalent protons. Two protons A and B are homotopic if the molecule remains the same (including stereochemically) when the protons are interchanged with some other atom (substituent) while the remaining parts of the molecule stay fixed. Homotopic atoms are always identical, in any environment.

For example, ethane, the two H atoms on C1 and C2 carbons on the same side (as shown in the attached image) are homotopic as they exhibit the phenomenon described above.

• Enantiotopic protons are two protons in a molecule which, if one or the other were replaced (by the same substituent), would generate a chiral compound. The two possible compounds resulting from that replacement would be enantiomers.

For example, in the attached image to this answer, the two hydrogen atoms attached to the second carbon in butane are enantiotopic. Replacement of one hydrogen atom with a bromine atom will produce (R)-2-bromobutane. Replacement of the other hydrogen atom with a bromine atom will produce the enantiomer (S)-2-bromobutane.

1) A record is spinning at the rate of 25 rpm. If a ladybug is sitting 10 cm from the
Sladkaya [172]

<h2>distance = 523 cm</h2>

Explanation:

( a ) The rotational speed of the ladybug = 25 r.p.m = 25/60 r.p.s

= 5/12 rev/sec

( b ) The definition of frequency is the number of rotations per second .

Here the number of rotations per second is 5/12 . Thus frequency = 5/12 Hz

( c ) The tangential speed is v = angular velocity x radius of rotation

The angular velocity ω = 2π x n , where n is the number of rotations per second

Thus angular velocity = 2π x 5/12   = 5π/6 rad/sec

The linear velocity = angular velocity x distance from center of record

Thus tangential speed = 5π/6 x 10 = 25π/3 cm/sec

Angular displacement in 20 sec = ω x t = 5π/6 x 20 = 50π/3 rad

Linear displacement = angular displacement x distance from center of record

= 50π/3 x 10 = 500π/3 = 523 cm
