Here we have to choose the atom which has same number of neutrons as 14N

The atom which has same number of neutrons as 14N among the given atoms is (D) 13C

We know, in an atom the number of electrons (atomic number) is equivalent to the number of protons. For nitrogen (N), the number of electron is 7. Thus the number of protons present in the nucleus is also 7 to make the atom uncharged.

The mass number of the atom is the number of the neutrons + number of the protons. In 14N there are 7 protons and 7 neutrons.

Thus among the given atoms the atom which has 7 neutrons will have the same number of neutrons.

A) Now in 16O the atomic number is 8 and mass number is 16. Thus the number of protons and neutrons are each 8 units.

B) In 15N, the atomic number is 7 but mass number is 15, thus number of protons and neutrons are 7 and 8 respectively.

C) In 14P the atomic number is 15 but mass number is 14, so number of protons and neutrons are 15 and -1 (not exist) respectively.

D) In 13C the atomic number is 6 and mass number is 13. So the number of protons are 6 and number of neutrons are 7.

Thus the correct answer will be D) 13C.

Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, is an ionic compound with a solubility product constant, Ksp, of 6.5×10–6. Calculate the solubility
kari74 [83]

Answer: The solubility of this compound in pure water is 0.012 M

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as K_{sp}

The equation for the ionization of the  is given as:

Ca(OH)_2\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2OH^-  

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of  Ca(OH)_2 gives 1 mole of Ca^{2+} and 2 mole of OH^-

When the solubility of  Ca(OH)_2 is S moles/liter, then the solubility of Ca^{2+}  will be S moles\liter and solubility of OH^- will be 2S moles/liter.

K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][OH^{-}]^2

6.5\times 10^{-6}=[S][2S]^2

S=0.012M

Thus solubility of this compound in pure water is 0.012 M

Describe why the overgrowth of algae in eutrophication is a bad thing.
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The overgrowth of algae consumes oxygen and blocks sunlight from underwater plants. When the algae eventually dies, the oxygen in the water is consumed. The lack of oxygen makes it impossible for aquatic life to survive

What element do you think is the most abundant in the star that you observed in part two? explain your answer?
mote1985 [20]
The most abundant element in the Sun and in the stars are hydrogen and helium. Like most of the stars, there is a spontaneous radioactive reaction happening in the Sun. Hydrogen is transformed into Helium. As long as the stars are young, the most abundant element is hydrogen.
