For the noble gases (the Group 8A elements) 4He2, 20Ne10, 40Ar18, 84Kr36 and 132Xe54, (a) determine the number of protons and ne

utrons in the nucleus of each atom, and (b) determine the ratio of neutrons to protons in the nucleus of each atom. Describe any general trend you discover in the way this ratio changes with increasing atomic number.

Answer:

a) ⁴He₂

Protons = 2

neutrons = 2

ratio = 1:1

b) ²⁰Ne₁₀

Protons = 10

neutrons = 10

ratio = 1:1

c) ⁴⁰Ar₁₈

Protons = 18

neutrons = 22

ratio = 1.2 : 1

d) ⁸⁴Kr₃₆

Protons = 36

neutrons = 48

ratio = 1.33:1

e) ¹³²Xe₅₄

Protons = 54

neutrons = 78

ratio = 1.44 : 1

With the increase in atomic number the ratio increases.

Explanation:

Atomic number = number of protons

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

So number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons

The element is represented as

^{A}X_{Z}

Where

A = atomic mass

Z = atomic number

a) ⁴He₂

Protons = 2

neutrons = 2

ratio = 1:1

b) ²⁰Ne₁₀

Protons = 10

neutrons = 10

ratio = 1:1

c) ⁴⁰Ar₁₈

Protons = 18

neutrons = 22

ratio = 1.2 : 1

d) ⁸⁴Kr₃₆

Protons = 36

neutrons = 48

ratio = 1.33:1

e) ¹³²Xe₅₄

Protons = 54

neutrons = 78

ratio = 1.44 : 1

The best material to be used in making cooking pots handles is made of: a. Polypropylene b. Bakelite c. Rubber d. Polyethylene
frutty [35]

Answer:

b. Bakelite

Explanation:

Bakelite -

Bakelite is a form if plastic , and is the very first plastic synthesized .

The handles of the cooking utensils are used to hold the utensil firmly , and hence need not turn hot while cooking , and need to be strong enough to take care of the food .

Hence , the handle should be of the material which is poor conductor of heat and strong .

Hence , bakelite is used for making the handle.

What is the pH of an acid with a [H+] of 1.0 x 10&amp;-4 M?<br><br> 1. 4<br> 2. 10<br> 3. 1<br> 4. 7
True [87]
PH scale is from 1 to 14 and indicates how acidic or basic a solution is. To find pH or pOH we need to know the H⁺ ion concentration or OH⁻ concentration.
pH can be calculated using the following equation;
pH = -log[H⁺]
the H⁺ concentration of the given acid is 1.0 x 10⁻⁴ M. substituting this we can find the pH 
pH = -log[1x10⁻⁴]
pH = 4
answer is 1) 4
