Hi There!

<span>How do the mass number and charge of a nucleus change when it emits a gamma ray?


</span><span>The charge doesn't change as a result of emitting a photon (which is what a gamma ray is). The mass does change by a small amount (due to the energy-mass equivalence relationship; a photon has no rest mass, but does have energy), but not by enough to make any real difference in the mass number.</span><span>

Hi,Mykayla647!
The mass number and charge do not change because Gamma rays have no charge or mass. 
I hope this helps;)

Water has a density of 1 g/cc. If you have 1 cc of water, how much mass does it contain?
rewona [7]
Water has a density of 1 g/cc. If you have 1 cc of water, then the mass it contains would be 1 g. <span>Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. It is a property that can be used to describe a substance. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Given the balanced equation, 2 H2 + O2 -&gt; 2 H2O, answer the following
9966 [12]

Answer: O_2 is the limiting reagent

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} H_2=\frac{10.0g}{2g/mol}=5.00moles

\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{20.0g}{32g/mol}=0.625moles

The balanced chemical reaction is :

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of O_2 require = 2 moles of H_2

Thus 0.625 moles of O_2 will require=\frac{2}{1}\times 0.625=1.25moles of H_2

Thus O_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and H_2 is the excess reagent as it is present more than the required amount.
