How many neutrons are in a nucleus of uranium-238?

Chemistry
1 answer:
LenaWriter [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

146

Explanation:

The mass of uranium- 238  is  238  mass units. The total mass of an element is the sum of its protons and neutrons.  There are  92  protons in this isotope, and its mass is  238 , so that means that there are,  238 − 92 = 146  neutrons. Thus, as weird as it may seem, the answer must be D.

Rufina [12.5K]
Answer:
             <span>The mole concept is important in chemistry because, "</span>Atoms and molecules are very small and the mole concept allows us to count atoms and molecules by weighing macroscopic amounts of material".

Explanation:
                   To understand this question lets take an example of Hydrogen atom. Let suppose you need to react Hydrogen with Oxygen. You need exactly Two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom to form one water molecule.
                  The mass of 1 hydrogen atom is 1.76 × 10⁻²⁴ grams. How will you count the Hydrogen atoms??? How can you measure exactly for 1 Million Hydrogen Atoms???
                   Answer to these questions and Calculations lies in Mole. It is found that 1 Mole of Hydrogen weights exactly 1.008 gram and contains 6.022 × 10²³ atoms. Now, having this reference in hand you can calculate for any number of Hydrogen atoms.

Result:
           So the Mole helps us to zoom a microscopic level to a macroscopic level. :)

In a light wave, which properties tell you the color of light
algol13

Answer :- In a light wave the property of wave which tells about the color of light is it's Wavelength .

Wavelength is the distance between one crest and one through , also it is the distance after which the wave repeat itself !

It's SI unit is meter !

It is scalar quantity !!

Different Wavelength of light have different color !!

• VIBGYOR

i.e, Violent , Indigo , Blue , Green , Yellow Orange, and Red along with their shades are the colors which we can see !!

• They almost range from 400nm to 700nm ( visible range of light )

Match each term to its description. Match Term Definition Excess reactant A) Reactant that can produce more of the product Limit
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A) Reactant that can produce more of the product

Excess reactant:

In a given reaction, the reactant that is in excess supply is the excess reactant. If the amount of the excess reactant is match, more of the product will be produced.

B) Reactant that can produce a lesser amount of the product

Limiting reactant

The limiting reactant restricts the progress of the reaction. It determines the amount of product that can be formed.

C) Amount of product predicted to be produced by the given reactants

Theoretical yield

For a given amount of reactants, the theoretical yield determines the amount of products that can be produced.
