A strontium-90 atom that has a lost two electrons has protons, neutrons, and __ electrons.

1 answer:

4 0

Answer:
A strontium-90 atom that has a lost two electrons has 38 protons, 52 neutrons, and 36 electrons.

Explanation:
Atomic number of Strontium (Sr) is 38.
Atomic number = number of protons
Hence, Strontium has 38 protons.

If the element is in neutral state,
number of protons = number of electrons.
Then, neutral Strontium atom should have 38 electrons.
But the question says Sr has lost 2 electrons. Hence, number of electrons should be 38 - 2 = 36.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

The given mass number is 90. Hence, number of neutrons should be 90 - 38 = 52.

How is the sugar cube like a sedimentary rock?

noname [10]

This is heated until evaporation occurs and sugar crystals are precipitated. This is similar to how chemical sedimentary rocks are formed (like rock salt or cave limestone). It is then separated into small individual crystals. This can be representative of weathering and erosion of rock into sediment

at a certain pressure the density of superficial carbon dioxide is 0.469. what is the mass of a 25.0 mL sample of supercritical

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{11.7 g}}$

Explanation:

$\text{Mass} = \text{25.0 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{0.469 g}}{\text{1 mL}} = \textbf{11.7 g}\\\\\text{The mass of the carbon dioxide is $\large \boxed{\textbf{11.7 g}}$}$

a solution is made by completely dissolving 90. grams of kno3 in 100 grams of water in a beaker. the temperature of this solutio

jolli1 [7]

Pressure has no effect on the solubility of KNO3 in water. This is because it is solid in liquid type of solution. In solid in liquid type of solution, solid is solute (minor component), liquid is solvent (major component). For solid in liquid type of solutions, solubility is independent of pressure.

On other hand, pressure has a pronounced effect on the solubility of gas in liquid type solutions. In such system, gas is solute (minor component) and liquid is solvent (major component). Example of such solution is aerated water. Herein, CO2 is dissolved in water. In such gas in liquid type of solutions, solubility increases with increasing pressure.
