For an atom, the atomic number is equal to number of protons and number of electrons. Mass number is sum of number of protons and neutrons in nucleus of an atom. Atomic number is denoted by symbol Z and mass number is denoted by symbol A.

The atomic number of strontium is Z=38 and mass number is A=90.

Now, Z=n_{p}=n_{e}=38

Also, A=n_{p}+n_{n}=90

Putting the value of n_{p} in above equation,

A=38+n_{n}=90

Or,

n_{n}=90-38=52

Thus, number of neutrons are 52.

Now, after losing two electrons, number of protons and neutrons remains the same but number of electrons becomes 38-2=36

Therefore, a strontium-90 atom that has lost 2 electrons has <u>38</u> protons, <u>52</u> neutrons and <u>36</u> electrons.

A family of four lives in a three-bedroom house and uses an average of 900 kWh of electricity per month. The family cools their
agasfer [191]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The percentage of the family’s total annual electricity that is used to run the two air conditioners for the three summer months = 19.4 %</h2>

Explanation:

Average electricity consumed per month = 900 kWh

The family cools their house for three months during the summer with two window-unit air conditioners

The power consumed by one window-unit air conditioners = 350 kWh

The power consumed by two window-unit air conditioners = 350(2) = 700 kWh

Power consumed for two air conditioners for the three summer months = 700 (3) = 2100 kWh

Total power consumed for 1 year = 900 (12) = 10800kWh

The percentage of the family’s total annual electricity that is used to run the two air conditioners for the three summer months = \frac{2100}{10800}100 = 19.4 %

What did Thomas Young, Max planck and Albert Einstein contribute towards the nature of light?
Lera25 [3.4K]

The contribution to the nature of light-

Thomas Young - wave nature of light (double-slit experiment)

Max Planck - E = hv

Albert Einstein - a quantum theory of light

Thomas Young proposed the most important double-slit experiment which shows that light acts like a wave and shows the pattern of interferences.

Max Planck proposed that light is proportional to frequency. He gave the equation, E = hv, where E is the energy of light, h is Planck's constant, and v is the frequency.

Albert Einstein proposed the quantum theory of light. He determined that light exists in discrete quanta of energy called photons.

When methane ( CH4 ) burns, it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reac
slega [8]
<h2>Answer:</h2>1.33*10^{-2}grams

<h2>Explanations</h2>

The complete balanced equation for the given reaction is expressed as;

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

Given the following parameters

Mass of CH4 = 5.90×10^−3 g = 0.0059grams

Determine the moles of methane

\begin{gathered} moles\text{ of CH}_4=\frac{mass}{molar\text{ mass}} \\ moles\text{ of CH}_4=\frac{0.0059}{16.04} \\ moles\text{ of CH}_4=0.000368moles \end{gathered}

According to stoichimetry, 1 mole of methane produces 2 moles of water, hence the moles of water required will be:

\begin{gathered} moles\text{ of H}_2O=\frac{2}{1}\times0.000368 \\ moles\text{ of H}_2O=0.000736moles \end{gathered}

Determine the mass of water produced

\begin{gathered} Mass\text{ of H}_2O=moles\times molar\text{ mass} \\ Mass\text{ of H}_2O=0.000736\times18.02 \\ Mass\text{ of H}_2O=0.0133grams=1.33\times10^{-2}grams \end{gathered}

Therefore the mass of water produced from the complete combustion of 5.90×10−3 g of methane is 1.33 * 10^-2grams

AV<br> 5. How many grams are in 0.52 moles of H3PO4?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

50.96g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of H₃PO₄   = 0.52moles

Unknown:

Mass of the compound  = ?

Solution:

To find the mass of the compound:

    Mass  = number of moles x molar mass of H₃PO₄

Molar mass of H₃PO₄ = 3(1) + 31 + 4(16)  = 98g/mol

  Mass  = 0.52 x 98  = 50.96g
