26 because you need to do 54-28=26
The atomic mass number is the number of protons AND neutrons together.

An isotope is a varying in the neutrons because the protons NEVERRRR change!!

54 - 28 = <span>26

Mercury (Hg) poisoning is a debilitating disease that is often fatal. In the human body, mercury reacts with essential enzymes l
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

6 x 10⁵ kg Hg

Explanation:

The mass of mercury in the entire lake is found by multiplying the concentration of the mercury by the volume of the lake.

The volume of the lake is calculated in cubic feet:

V = (SA)x(depth) = (100mi²)(5280ft/mi)² x (20ft) = 5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³

Cubic feet are then converted to mL (1cm³=1mL)

(5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³) x (12in/ft)³ x (2.54cm/in)³ = 1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL

The mass of mercury is then found:

m = CV = (0.4μg/mL)(1g/10⁶μg)(1kg/1000g) x (1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL) = 6 x 10⁵ kg Hg

- How many grams are in 4.6 x 1016 molecules of phosphorus trichloride (PCI)?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

0.0000101 grams.

Explanation:

First of all, use Avogadro's number to convert from molecules to moles.

Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 10^23.

Second of all, to convert from moles to grams, find the substance formula of phosphorus trichloride. After finding the substance formula, then find the molar mass of phosphorus trichloride.

Phosphorus trichloride is PCl3

Now find the molar mass of PCl3

P = 31.0 amu

Cl = 35.5 amu

They are three chlorine atoms and one phosphorus atom. So you do this.

31.0(1) + 35.5(3) = 137.5 g/mol

Now use dimensional analysis to show your work

4.6 x 10^16 grams of PCl3 * 1 mol/ 6.02 x 10^23 * 137.5 g/mol / 1 mol

The grams and the moles cancel out.

So now do [(4.6 x 10^16) / (6.02 x 10^23)] x 137.5

and you will get 0.000010507

4.6 has the fewest digits which is 2.

So use sig figs and the answer rounds to the nearest millionths.

0.000010507 rounds to 0.0000101

So the final answer is 0.0000101 grams(don't forget the units)

Hope it helped!

Tooth enamel is ca5(po4)3(oh). calculate the percent composition of the elements present.
Mama L [17]
We shall find the molar mass first.  
Ca5(PO4)3(OH) = (40 * 5) + 3 (31 + 4(16)) + 16 + 1 = 200 + 285 + 17 = 485 + 17 = 502. 
Percent of Calcium = 200/ 502 * 100 = 39.8%
 Percent of Phosphorus = 91/502 * 100 = 18.1%
 Percent of Hydrogen = 1/502 * 100 = 0.19%
 Percent of Oxygen = 100 - (39.8 + 18.1 + 0.19) = 41.91%
