The optimal number of neutrons for a nucleus containing 70 protons is 130

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

In chemistry, the nucleus is the positively charged center of the atom that consist of protons and neutrons. It's also known as the "atomic nucleus"

The neutron is a subatomic particle with no net electric charge and a mass slightly greater than that of a proton. The neutron is have symbol n or n⁰. Protons and neutrons constitute the nuclei of atoms.

Neutron is a type of atomic particle which does not possess any kind of charge on it. It has neutral behavior toward atoms since it does not possess any kind of charges but it contributes to the mass of the atoms.

Atomic number = 70

Atomic weight = 173

Atomic weight = number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic number = number of protons

Therefore, the number of protons = 70

Number of neutrons = atomic weight - number of protons

Number of neutrons = 173 - 70 = 103

Optimal number of neutrons = 130

Atomic number 70

weight 173

number of neutron = weight - Atomic number

= 173 -70

=103

Twenty five grams of Iron 3 oxide react with an excess of carbon monoxide to form 15 g of Fe. Carbon dioxide is the other produc

densk [106]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Theoretical mass = 17.42 g

Percent yield of Fe = 86.11%

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The equation for the reaction between iron (iii) oxide and carbon monoxide is given by;

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)

We are required to calculate the theoretical yield and the percentage yield of Iron.

Step 1: Moles of iron (iii) oxide

Moles are given by dividing the mass of the compound by the molar mass.

Molar mass of Iron(iii) oxide = 159.69 g/mol

Moles of Iron(III) oxide = 25 g ÷ 159.69 g/mol

= 0.156 moles

Step 2: Moles of Iron produced

From the equation 1 mole of Iron(iii) oxide reacts to produce 2 moles of Fe.

Therefore, the mole ratio of Fe₂O₃ to Fe is 1 : 2.

Thus, moles of Fe = Moles of Fe₂O₃ × 2

= 0.156 moles × 2

= 0.312 moles

Step 3: Theoretical mass of iron produced

To calculate the mass of iron we multiply the number of moles of iron with the relative atomic mass.

Relative atomic mass = 55.845

Mass of iron = 0.312 moles × 55.845

= 17.42 g

Step 4: Percent yield of iron

% yield = (Actual mass ÷ Theoretical mass)×100

= (15 g ÷ 17.42 g) × 100 %

= 86.11%

How does the appearance of<br> the protist differ from that of the onion sample?

lana [24]

The appearance of the protist differ from that of the onion sample due to the presence of motile structures.

<h3>What is a Protist?</h3>

This is an eukaryote which could be unicellular or multicellular and examples include protozoa etc.

The major difference between a protist and onion sample is that protists have motile structures such as flagella, cilia etc while plant cells such as onions don't have.

Which characteristics affect ocean water’s temperature? Check all that apply. depth location mass salinity waves

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Depth and location affect ocean water’s temperature.

Explanation:

The main source of heat for the oceans is solar radiation. That is, water is basically heated by the radiation of the Sun, which transmits energy to the surface. The ocean absorbs this energy and stores it. Seawater has high caloric capacity. This means that more energy and more time is needed to change or increase the water temperature, compared to the air temperature. Similarly, once the ocean heats up, it takes a long time for the water to completely release or lose that heat.

The temperature decreases to greater depth, because the amount of solar radiation is reduced. On the contrary, it is greater where there is greater energy or heat content.

The closer a place is to the equator, the solar energy will affect more vertically and with more intensity on it, so the warmer the temperatures will be. The further that point of the equator is found, the solar energy will reach it with a smaller angle. And if the point is near the poles, the sun's rays will arrive at a very small angle. This causes the temperature of the water of the oceans to vary depending on the earth's latitude, being higher in areas close to the equator and the tropics, and colder the closer to the poles or the further away from the temperate zones.
