Answer: Subtract the number of valence electrons(outer most shell electrons) from the atomic number of an atom.

Explanation: The total number of electrons for an atom equals to its atomic number. Electrons are present in different shells. Electrons present in outer most shell(valence shell) are known as valence electrons and rest of the electrons present in inner shells are known as core electrons.

So, to determine the number of electrons we subtract the valence electrons from atomic number.

For example, atomic number of N (nitrogen) is 7. It has 5 valence electrons.

Number of core electrons for N = 7 - 5 = 2

A chemistry teacher adds 50.0 mL of 1.50 M H2SO4 solution to 200 mL of water. What is the concentration of the final solution? A
anygoal [31]

this is a dilution equation where 50.0 mL of 1.50 M H₂SO₄ is taken and added to 200 mL of water.

c1v1 = c2v2

where c1 is concentration and v1 is volume of the concentrated solution

and c2 is concentration and v2 is volume of the diluted solution to be prepared

50.0 mL of 1.50 M H₂SO₄ is added to 200 mL of water so the final solution volume is - 200 + 50.0 = 250 mL

substituting these values in the formula

1.50 M x 50.0 mL = C x 250 mL

C = 0.300 M

concentration of the final solution is A) 0.300 M

Energy produced by nuclear fusion and fission
White raven [17]

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

Some thermodynamic properties of ethanol are listed in the table. Thermodynamic Properties Property Value c (solid) 0.5 J/g °C c
alexira [117]
<h2>Answer </h2>

Option C - 320J

<u>Explanation </u>

Since ethanol solid at −120 °C and is only cooling down (it won’t change states) . The amount of Thermodynamic properties values c is given in form of solid, liquid and gas. Amount of energy released is calculated below.  

Formula,

= change in temperature  x specific heat capacity for solid ethanol x 40

=> 0.5 x 16x 40 = 320J

Therefore, the 320J of heat is released when 40.0g of ethanol cools.
