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

10. If 3.5 kJ of energy are added to a 28.2 g sample of iron at 20°C, what
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

569K

Explanation:

Q = 3.5kJ = 3500J

mass = 28.2g

∅1 = 20°C = 20 + 273 = 293K

∅2 = x

c = 0.449

Q = mc∆∅

3500 = 28.2×0.449×∆∅

3500 = 12.6618×∆∅

∆∅ = 3500/12.6618

∆∅ = 276.4220

∅2 - ∅1 = 276.4220

∅2 = 276.4220 + ∅1

∅2 = 276.4220 + 293

∅2 = 569.4220K

∅2 = 569K

Uranium-238 decays to lead-206 with a half-life of 4.5 x 109 yr. Determine how much uranium-238 decays in milligrams (to three s
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

2.15 mg of uranium-238 decays

Explanation:

For decay of radioactive nuclide-

                        N=N_{0}.(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}

where N is amount of radioactive nuclide after t time, N_{0} is initial amount of radioactive nuclide and t_{\frac{1}{2}} is half life of radioactive nuclide

Here N_{0}=4.60 mg, t=4.1\times 10^{9}yr and t_{\frac{1}{2}}=4.5\times 10^{9}yr

So,N=(4.60mg)\times (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{4.1\times 10^{9}}{4.5\times 10^{9}}}

so, N = 2.446 mg

mass of uranium-238 decays = (4.60-2.446) mg = 2.15 mg
