How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in Potassium, Nitrogen, and oxygen?

1 answer:

3 0

The amount of protons is equal to the number of electrons of a chemical element. The atomic number of an element also determines the number of the protons it contains. The number of protons is also the same number of electrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged. To get the number of neutrons, all you need is to deduct the number of the atomic mass or mass number from the atomic number. Potassium has 19 protons, therefore has 19 electrons as well. The atomic mass of Potassium is 39. So, the number of neutrons Potassium has is 20. Potassium Atomic number: 19 Protons: 19 Electrons: 19 Atomic Mass: 39 Neutron: 20 Nitrogen Atomic number: 7 Protons: 7 Electrons: 7 Atomic Mass: 14.007 Neutrons: 7 Oxygen Atomic Number: 8 Protons: 8 Electrons: 8 Atomic Mass: 15.99 Neutrons: 8

A blacksmith heated an iron bar to 1445 °C. The blacksmith then tempered the metal by dropping it into 42,800 mL of

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

6626 g

Explanation:

Given that:

Density of water = 1.00 g/ml, volume of water = 42800 ml.

Since density = mass/ volume

mass of water = volume of water * density of water = 42800 ml * 1 g/ml = 42800 g

Initial temperature of water = 22°C and final temperature of water = 45°C.

specific heat capacity for water = 4.184 J/g°C

ΔT water = 45 - 22 = 23°C

For iron:

mass = m,

specific heat capacity for iron = 0.444 J/g°C

Initial temperature of iron = 1445°C and final temperature of water = 45°C.

ΔT iron = 45 - 1445 = -1400°C

Quantity of heat (Q) to raised the temperature of a body is given as:

Q = mCΔT

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of water is equal to the temperature loss by the iron.

Q water (gain) + Q iron (loss) = 0

Q water = - Q iron

42800 g × 4.184 J/g°C × 23°C = -m × 0.444 J/g°C × -1400°C

m = 4118729.6/621.6

m = 6626 g

Give an example of how environmental science might involve geology and chemistry.

Sever21 [200]

One of the examples is radiation and chemistry of water. Environmental science requires the capacity to integrate data from the greater part of the significant fields of science, and in addition from arithmetic.
Geology is vital on the grounds that huge scale arrives forms make geology. The presence of mountains and valleys influences how much daylight and precipitation achieve the ground, how breezy an area is, the manner by which precipitation keeps running off, and numerous different variables that figure out what plants and creatures will have the capacity to occupy a district.

A large pot (10 kg) of beef stew is left out on the kitchen counter to cool. The rate of cooling, in kJ/min, equals 1.955 (T-25)

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

16 minutes

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the amount of heat needed to cool the beef stew:

Q = mcΔT

Where m is the mass, c is the heat capacity and ΔT is the variation of the temperature.

Q = 10x4x(40 - 90)

Q = -2000 kJ

So, the beef stew needs to lost 2000 kJ to cool.

With the initial temperature at 90ºC, the rate of cooling(r) will be:

r = 1.955x(90 - 25)

r = 127.075 kJ/min

So, to lose 2000 kJ, will be necessary:

t = Q/r

t = 2000/127.075

t = 16 minutes
