Explanation:

Atomic Number = Number of protons

Mass Number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Isotopes are simply atoms of an element with the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.

First Isotope -- 238U

Number of neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

Number of neutrons =  238 - 92 = 146

Second Isotope -- 235U

Number of neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

Number of neutrons =  235 - 92 = 143

Calculate the mass of 2.50 mol of CH,OH(1). Show your work. Use the appropriate
Sophie [7]

Answer:

80.1 grams

Explanation:

Find the molar mass of CH3OH first by using the periodic table values.

12.011 g/mol C + (1.008*3 g/mol H) + 15.999g/mol O + 1.008 g/mol H

=32.042 so that is the molar mass

Now that you have 2.50 moles of CH3OH, you can calculate the mass in g

2.50molCH3OH * (32.042g CH3OH / 1 mol CH3OH) = 80.105

32.042g / 1 mol is the same as 32.042 g/mol

Since there are 3 sig figs in the problem (2.50 has 3 sig figs), you round to 80.1 g CH3OH

<span>While heat is the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance which is transferred from a hotter substance to a cooler one, the temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
</span><span />

<span>The relatively high kinetic energy the particles of a warm substance is transferred to the cooler one by the motion (vibration or translation) of the atoms of molecules. The energy transferred is heat energy.</span>

Why does the lack of snow in the mountains make drought cycles worse
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

lack of snow in the mountains makes drought cycles worse because mountains are a natural part of the water cycle.

Explanation:

Mountains play a critical part In the water cycle by capturing moisture in the air and it precipitates as snow and when it does this the snow will melt in the warmer seasons and flow down stream then following the rest of the water cycle if we didn't have this then the streams would run less and it would greatly disrupt the water cycle.
