Answer:
20 amu
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.
Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons
Atomic number = Number of electrons or number of protons.
In given question it is stated that atom has 11 electrons and -1 charge it means this atom has 12 electrons in neutral state.
Thus it has 12 protons because number of electrons and protons are always equal.
Atomic mass of given atom:
Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons
Atomic mass = 12 + 8 = 20 amu
Answer:
The book sitting on the desk
Explanation:
The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position relative to the ground.
It is calculated as:
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height of the object with respect to the ground
From the formula, we see that the GPE of an object is directly proportional to the heigth h: so, the higher the location of the object, the larger the GPE.
In this problem, we are comparing a book sitting on a desk and the same book sitting on the floor. In the two situations, the mass of the book is the same; however, in the first case, the value of the height is h, while in the second case, the value of h is lower (because the book is located at a lower height, being on the floor).
Therefore, we can conclude that the first book must have a larger GPE, since it has a larger value of h.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
It is neither, at least not at room temperature.
Citric acid exists as a power at room temperature, but can be crystallized from cold water. This can be considered it's " solid state, " but as I mentioned before this acid is a powder. Take a look at the attachment below. This is a citric acid present as a crystal;
Electric
current passes through a filament of an incandescent bulb, thereby increasing
it temperature. When current flows, it contains electrons through the filament
to produce light. Typically, incandescent light bulb consists
of a glass enclosure that contains tungsten filament. The glass enclosure
contains either a vacuum or an inert gas that serves as the filament protection
from evaporating. Incandescent light bulbs contain a stem attached at to its
base to allow the electrical contacts to run through the envelope without gas
or air leaks.
