The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom

Physics
1 answer:
rewona [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Is the mass number

Explanation:

Every atom is usually identified by using two different numbers:

- Atomic number: generally labelled with Z, corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus, so Z = p

- Mass number: generally labelled with A, corresponds to the number of protons+neutrons in the nucleus, so A = p + n

To find the number of neutrons in a nucleus, therefore, we can do

n = A - Z

Students measured the mass of 25.0 mL of water and found it be 25.4 g. The accepted mass is 25.0 g. What is the percent error of
Andre45 [30]
Well first of all, I think the students may have been correct. 
If they didn't use distilled water, and if it wasn't exactly at 
standard temperature, then the mass of  25.0 mL  could
very well be  25.4 grams.  We don't know that there was
any 'error' in their measurement at all.
But the question says there was, so we'll do the math:

The 'error' was  (25.4 - 25.0) = +0.4 gram

As a fraction of the 'real' value, the error was

                            +0.4 / 25.0  =  +0.016 .

To change a decimal to a percent, move the
decimal point two places that way  ===> .

                           + 0.016  =  +1.6 % .

     
Their measurement was 1.6% too high.

Let's not call it an 'error'.  Let's just call it a 'discrepancy'
between the measured value and the 'accepted' value.  OK ?

Oliga [24]

Answer:

0.68 m

Explanation:

We know that the speed of sound in air is a product of frequency and wavelength. Taking speed of sound in air as 340 m/s

V=frequency*wavelength

Then wavelength is given by 350/500=0.68 m

Therefore, to repeat constructive interference at the listener's ear, a distance of 0.68 m is needed
