By substracting the atomic mass by the number of protons.


here is an example.... sodium's atomic mass is 23,
it is given that the number of protons is 11. Find the number of neutrons.

easy.... substract 23 from 11. the answer is 12 neutrons.

For the answer to the question above, you must first calculate the no. of Neutrons. Then, <span>subtract the atomic number from the atomic weight. The result of that is the number of a neutron.</span><span>The atomic number is the number of protons. The atomic weight consists of the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. I hope my answer helped you</span>

padilas [110]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: C. The specific latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

A. The specific latent heat of vaporization  Specific latent heat of vaporization indicates the transition from liquid to vapor, but we are not looking for this definition. This answer is wrong.

B. The specific heat indicates the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of water 1°C, so this answer is wrong.

C. The specific latent heat of fusion . This heat indicate the transition from solid ie to liquid, so this is the right answer.

D. The internal energy measures the energy of the molecules of a substance, so this answer is wrong.

What is the percent composition by mass of hydrogen in nh4hco3
Simora [160]

<u>Answer:</u> The percent composition by mass of hydrogen in given compound is 6.33 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

A chemical compound having chemical formula of NH_4HCO_3

It is made up by the combination of 1 nitrogen atom, 5 hydrogen atoms, 1 carbon atom and 3 oxygen atoms

To calculate the percentage composition by mass of hydrogen in the compound, we use the equation:

\%\text{ composition of Hydrogen}=\frac{\text{Mass of hydrogen}}{\text{Mass of compound}}\times 100

Mass of compound = [(1\times 14)+(5\times 1)+(1\times 12)+(3\times 16)]=79g/mol

Mass of hydrogen = (5\times 1)=5g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ composition of Hydrogen}=\frac{5g/mol}{79g/mol}\times 100=6.33\%

Hence, the percent composition by mass of hydrogen in given compound is 6.33 %

2NO(g) N2(g) + O2(g); Keq = 2.1 × 1030 What does the value of the equilibrium constant indicate?
olga_2 [115]
The equilibrium constant is a value which represents the equilibrium of a reaction. It is a reaction quotient when the reaction reached equilibrium. If Keq is greater than 1, the mixture contains mostly the products. On the other hand, if Keq is less than 1, the mixture contains the reactants. For this case, the mixture contains mostly products.
