How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 31 and its mass number is 80?

Chemistry

49 neutrons in each nucleus.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

For each nucleus:

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons.

The atomic number of a nucleus is the same as its number of protons. The atomic number of the nucleus here is 31. There are 31 protons in each nucleus.

  • Mass number = 80;
  • Number of protons = Atomic number = 31;
  • The number of neutrons is to be found.

Again,

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons.

80 = 31 + Number of neutrons.

Number of neutrons = 80 - 31 = 49.

The "Van Gogh" one is subjective, because it expresses opinion and is not a true, hard fact. :)

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Ksp FeS = 5.2441 E-18

Explanation:

  • FeS ↔ Fe2+  + S2-

         S          S           S

∴ Ksp = [Fe2+]*[S2-].....solubility product constant

∴ [S2-] = 2.29 E-9 M = S

⇒ Ksp = (S)(S) = S²

⇒ Ksp = (2.29 E-9)²

⇒ Ksp = 5.2441 E-18

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

A wave is a disturbance in a medium which can propagate through a medium. But the net displacement of the medium remains zero.

The spreading of the wave from a slit or hole is proved through the double slit experiment showing interference between the two waves. So they do spread by passing through a hole.

A longitudinal wave is what is seen when a stone is thrown into a pond. The ripples created are the compression points and the areas between the two ripple is called the rarefaction point.

Amplitude is defined as the maximum displacement of a particle in wave from its mean position. So its not distance between two compression points.

2nd law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.

An electromagnetic wave doesn't need a matter to get transferred. Its the electric field and magnetic field vibrating at same interval but in 90°to each other.

Mechanical wave needs matter to transfer energy. So it cannot travel through space.

Decibel is the unit of intensity of sound. Unit of frequency is hertz or cps.
