Answer:

a) 56 protons

b) 54 electrons

c) 81 neutrons

d) The sum of protons and neutrons is shown. The number of protons is always the same. So we can calculate the number of neutrons ( and also the isotopes)

e)137Ba (with 56 protons and 81 neutrons)

f) atomic mass is 136.9 u ; the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons and is 137

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

137 Ba2+ is an isotope of barium. The atomic number of barium( and its isotopes) is 56. This shows the number of protons.

For a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.

The different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.

137Ba2+ has 56 protons (this is the same as the atomic number)

137Ba2+ has 54 electrons ( since it's Ba2+, this means it has 2 electrons less than protons, that's why it's charged +2)

137Ba2+ has 81 neutrons ( 137 - 56 = 81)

In the symbol, the atomic number is not shown. The sum of the protons and neutrons is shown. (Since the number of protons is the same for every isotope, we can calculate the number of neutrons that way. By knowing the neutrons, we also know the isotope.

This isotope is 137Ba

Atomic mass is also known as atomic weight. The atomic mass is the weighted average mass of an atom of an element based on the relative natural abundance of that element's isotopes.

The atomic mass of 137Ba2+ is 136.9 u

The mass number is a count of the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.

The mass number of 137Ba2+ is 137

At-57 °C and 1 atm, carbon dioxide is in which phase? View Available Hint(s) Phase diagrams for water (Figure 1)and carbon dioxi

Answer:

Gas

Increase the pressure

Explanation:

Let's refer to the attached phase diagram for CO₂ (not to scale).

At -57 °C and 1 atm, carbon dioxide is in which phase?

If we look at the intersection between -57°C and 1 atm, we can see that CO₂ is in the gas phase.

At 10°C and 2 atm carbon dioxide is in the gas phase. From these conditions, how could the gaseous CO₂ be converted into liquid CO₂?

Since at 10°C and 2 atm carbon dioxide is below the triple point, the only way to convert it into liquid is by increasing the pressure (moving up in the vertical direction).
