Answer:

Explanation:

Information given about the element:

Number of protons = 74

Number of neutrons = 110

For the atomic number:

Neutral atoms such as this one would have their atomic number to be the same with their number of electrons and protons:

     atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

The atomic number would therefore be 74

For the mass number:

The mass of an atom is centrally concentrated within the tiny nucleus. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. Protons and neutrons are nuclear particles and are called nucleons:

     Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons = 74+110=184

Is this a new element?

From the peroidic table, tungsten(W) perfectly fits this description of the atom. It has an atomic number of 74 and a mass number of approximately 184. The element is not a new element.

Is it solid, liquid, or gas?

The element is a hard metallic solid. It is a classified as a transition metal on the periodic table. Transition metals have very unique metals and are mostly solids.

Answer:

1) The atomic number of this element is 74, because number of protons = atomic number

2) Mass number of this element is 184

Ar=Z+N=74+110=184

3) It isn't a new element. An element with such atomic and mass numbers exists

4) It is Wolfram. Symbol: W

5) Solid

A 155g sample of copper was heated to 150.0 degrees Celsius, then placed into 250.0g water at 19.8 degrees Celsius. Calculate th
bogdanovich [222]
Once for the water and once for the copper. Set up a table that accounts for each of the variables you know, and then identify the ones you need to obtain. Give me a moment or two and I will work this out for you.

Okay, so like I said before, you will need to use the equation twice. Now, keep in mind that when the copper is placed in the water (the hot into the cold), there is a transfer of heat. This heat transfer is measured in Joules (J). So, the energy that the water gains is the same energy that the copper loses. This means that for your two equations, they can be set equal to each other, but the copper equation will have a negative sign in front to account for the energy it's losing to the water.

When set equal to each other, the equations should resemble something like this:
(cmΔt)H20 = -(cmΔt)Cu
(Cu is copper).

Remember, Δt is the final temperature minus the initial temperature (T2-T1). We are trying to find T2. Since we are submerging the copper into the water, we can assume that the final temperature at equilibrium is the same for both the copper and the water. At a thermodynamic equilibrium, there is no heat transfer because both materials are at the same temperature.

T2Cu = T2H20

Now, the algebra for this part of the problem is a bit confusing, so make sure you keep track of your variables. If done right, the algebra should work out so you have this:

T2 = ((cmT1)Cu + (cmT1)H20) / ((cm)H20 + (cm)Cu)
Insert the values for the variables. Once you plug and chug, your final answer should be
26.8 degrees Celsius.

Answer is: A) 124 s.
c₀ = 3 mol/L.
c₁ = 0,700 mol/L.

Hydrogen bonds are formed between molecules when hydrogen is covalently bonded to an element that has a
stepan [7]

Answer:

choice 3

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding occurs when a H is bonded to a highly electronegative atom like F. Towards the upper right corner, most atoms have high electronegativity and small atomic radii, according to periodic trends.

Please give thanks :)
