Identify the number of neutrons in one atom of sulfur with an isotopic mass number of 34 Amu

1 answer:

6 0

Mass number = number of neutrons + number of protons

In a periodic table, or other tables, you find that the atomic number of sulfur is 16. That means it has 16 protons.

Then the number of neutrons = 34 - 16 = 18.

Match each statement with a layer of the atmosphere. There will be two statements for each layer.

LuckyWell [14K]

The troposphere:

H. This layer can have thunderstorms or clear, sunny skies.

A. The biosphere interacts most with this layer.

The stratosphere:

B. It is the second layer from Earth's surface.

G. Winds are strong and steady in this layer.

The mesosphere:

E. It is heated by the ozone layer beneath it.

D. This layer is where most meteor showers occur.

The thermosphere :

F. It contains the ionosphere and exosphere.

C. It contains layers of single, unmixed gas.

Explanation:

Depending on the Earth's temperature the atmosphere can be separated into layers. The troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere are those layers. The lowest layer is named as Troposphere (0-10 km from the Earth outer surface), it comprises about 75% of the atmosphere's total air and nearly most the water vapor.

Stratosphere (10-30) includes much of the surface ozone. The change in height temperature arises as this ozone absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The temperature in Mesosphere (30-50 Km) declines again with height, hitting a minimum of about -90 ° C at the "mesopause." Above this thermosphere (50-400 Km) is settled which is a area where temperatures rise with height once again. The penetration of intense UV and X-ray radiation from the sun induces this temperature rise.

A gate made of painted iron is beginning to rest in areas where the paint has worn away why is the formation of rust considered

Pavel [41]

Answer:

because it is two substances reacting together to create a new substance

Explanation:

when iron rusts, iron molecules react with the oxygen molecules creating iron oxide aka rust.

A sample of an ionic compound NaA, where A- is the anion of a

vitfil [10]

Answer:

a) Kb = 10^-9

b) pH = 3.02

Explanation:

a) pH 5.0 titration with a 100 mL sample containing 500 mL of 0.10 M HCl, or 0.05 moles of HCl. Therefore we have the following:

[NaA] and [A-] = 0.05/0.6 = 0.083 M

Kb = Kw/Ka = 10^-14/[H+] = 10^-14/10^-5 = 10^-9

b) For the stoichiometric point in the titration, 0.100 moles of NaA have to be found in a 1.1L solution, and this is equal to:

[A-] = [H+] = (0.1 L)*(1 M)/1.1 L = 0.091 M

pKb = 10^-9

Ka = 10^-5

HA = H+ + A-

Ka = 10^-5 = ([H+]*[A-])/[HA] = [H+]^2/(0.091 - [H+])

[H+]^2 + 10^5 * [H+] - 10^-5 * 0.091 = 0

Clearing [H+]:

[H+] = 0.00095 M

pH = -log([H+]) = -log(0.00095) = 3.02

State which of the following set of quantum number would be possible and which would be permissible for an electron in an atom.

raketka [301]

Answer:

The correct option is: e) n=4, l=3, $m_{l}$ = - 2 , $m_{s}$ = - 1/2

Explanation:

The four quantum numbers that describe the electrons in an atom are: The principal: n, azimuthal: l, magnetic: m, and spin: s.

For a given electron, the values of the quantum numbers should be in the given range- principal quantum number: n ≥ 1;

azimuthal quantum number: 0 ≤ l ≤ n − 1;

magnetic quantum number: −l ≤ $m_{l}$ ≤ +l;

spin quantum number: −s ≤ $m_{s}$ ≤ +s

Now, for n= 4,

The value of l: 0 to n − 1 = 0 to 3 = 0, 1, 2, 3

The value of $m_{l}$ for l= 3 : -3 to +3 = -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3

The value of $m_{s}$ : -1/2, +1/2

Therefore, the given set of quantum numbers: n=4, l=3, $m_{l}$ = - 2 , $m_{s}$ = - 1/2; are possible and permissible for an electron in an atom.
