Answer:

A carbon-14 atom has 6 protons, 8 neutrons and 6 electrons. The number 12 or 14 in the name of carbon-12 and carbon-14 refers to their atomic mass.

Explanation:

Those atoms that have the same "atomic number" but differente "atomic  mass" (or atomic weight) are called isotopes.

Atomic number indicates the amount of electrons that an atom has, which matchs with the number of protons it has.

Atomic mass indicates the sum of protons and neutrons that an atom has.

<u />

<u>Example with carbon-12:</u>

carbon atomic number = 6 (find this information in a periodic table)

electrons= 6

protons= 6

carbon atomic mass = 12 (find this information in a periodic table)

neutrons= atomic mass - number of protons= 12-6 = 6 neutrons

<u>Using the same analysis for carbon-14:</u>

carbon atomic number = 6

electrons= 6

protons= 6

carbon atomic mass = 14

neutrons= atomic mass - number of protons = 14-6 = 8 neutrons

In this way, carbon-14 is an isotope of carbon-12 because carbon-14 has the same atomic number than carbono-12 but different atomic mass.

An isotope of carbon always has 6 protons - that is the part of the atom which shows it is carbon. If it had a different number of protons, it would be a different element altogether

A sample of methane gas, CH4, occupies 3.25 L at temperature of 19.0 o C. If the pressure is held constant, what will be the tem
Artemon [7]

Answer:

625.46 °C

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 19 °C to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

T(°C) = 19 °C

T(K) = 19 °C + 273

T(K) = 292 K

Next, we shall determine the Final temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial volume (V₁) = 3.25 L

Initial temperature (T₁) = 292 K

Final volume (V₂) = 10 L

Final temperature (T₂) =?

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

3.25 / 292 = 10 / T₂

Cross multiply

3.25 × T₂ = 292 × 10

3.25 × T₂ = 2920

Divide both side by 3.25

T₂ = 2920 / 3.25

T₂ = 898.46 K

Finally, we shall convert 898.46 K to celsius temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(°C) = T(K) – 273

T(K) = 898.46 K

T(°C) = 898.46 – 273

T(°C) = 625.46 °C

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 625.46 °C
