Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number is the sum of only total number of protons present in an element. Whereas mass number or atomic mass is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.

For example, given atom has atomic number is 8.  And, it is known that atomic mass of O is 16 g/mol.

Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.

                    Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                         16 = 8 + no. of neutrons

                    no. of neutrons = 16 - 8  

                                               = 8

Hence, we can conclude that in the given isotope of oxygen-16 there are 8 protons and 8 neutrons.

Ugo [173]

Use the van der Waals equation and the ideal gas equation to calculate the volume of 1.000 mol of neon at a pressure of 500.0 atm and a temperature of 355.0 K.

The Van der Waals equation, also known as the Van der Waals equation of state, is an equation of state used in chemistry and thermodynamics that extends the ideal gas law to take into account the effects of molecular interaction as well as the finite size of the molecules in a gas.

We may build a new equation that better reflects real gas behavior by modifying the ideal gas law to include corrections for interparticle attractions and particle volumes. The van der Waals equation can be used to determine a gas's properties under less-than-ideal circumstances.

A 0.72 mg sample of phosphorus reacts with bromine to form 10.01 mg of the bromide. part a what is the empirical formula of the
Hatshy [7]
<span>PBr5 You started with 0.72 mg of phosphorus and ended up with 10.01 mg of its bromide. So the amount of bromine is 10.01 - 0.72 = 9.29 mg Now you need to determine the relative number of atoms of each element used. atomic mass of phosphorus = 30.973762 atomic mass of bromine = 79.904 relative atoms of phosphorus = 0.72 / 30.973762 = 0.023245 relative atoms of bromine = 9.29 / 79.904 = 0.116265 Now you need to look for a simple ratio of integers that closely approximates 0.023245 / 0.116265. First we'll divide the larger by the smaller. 0.116265 / 0.023245 = 5.001597 Given how close the value comes to 5. The empirical formula will be PBr5. So for every atom of phosphorus, you need 5 atoms of bromine.</span>
