A.6 The number of protons always stays the same. 
dezoksy [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As the given atom is ^{12}_{6}C so, it means that it contains 6 protons. Also, when an atom is neutral then its number of protons equal to the number of electrons.

Atomic mass means the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom. As ^{14}C is an isotope of ^{12}C. And, all the isotopes of carbon or any other element contains the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

Therefore, there will be 6 protons present in ^{14}C.

Thus, we can conclude that carbon-14 atom have 6 protons.

Calculate the molarity of the two solutions. The first solution contains 0.550 mol of NaOH in 1.40 L of solution.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

0.393 mol/L.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Number of mole of NaOH = 0.550 mol

Volume of solution = 1.40 L

Molarity of NaOH =.?

Molarity of a solution is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of the solution. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Molarity = mole /Volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the molarity of the NaOH solution as follow:

Number of mole of NaOH = 0.550 mol

Volume of solution = 1.40 L

Molarity of NaOH =.?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity of NaOH = 0.55 / 1.4

Molarity of NaOH = 0.393 mol/L

Thus, the molarity of the NaOH solution is 0.393 mol/L.

Determine the distance of closest approach (in fm) before the alpha particle reverses direction. Assume the lead nucleus remains
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Take E(alpha particle energy) = 5.5 MeV (5.5x106x1.6x10-19)

If the charge on the lead nucleus is +82e(atomic number of lead is 82) = +82x1.6x10-19 C and the charge on the alpha particle is +2e = 2x1.6x10-19 C

Using dc = (1/4πεo)qQ/Eα we have

dc = [9x10^9x(2x1.6x10-19x82x1.6x10-19)]/5.5x10-13 = 6.67x10^-13m. = 6.67 x 10^-13 x 10^15 = 6.67 x 10^2fm

Note: 1meter = 10^15fentometer

Explanation:

This is well inside the atom but some eight nuclear diameters from the centre of the lead nucleus.

A sample of argon gas at 55°C is under 845 mm Hg pressure. What will the new temperature be if the pressure is raised to 1050 mm
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The final temperature at 1050 mmHg is 134.57 ^{\circ}C or 407.57 Kelvin.

Explanation:

Initial temperature = T = 55^{\circ}C = 328 K

Initial pressure = P = 845 mmHg

Assuming final  to be temperature to be T' Kelvin

Final Pressure = P' = 1050 mmHg  

The final temperature is obtained by following relation at constant volume

\displaystyle \frac{P}{P'}=\displaystyle \frac{T}{T'} \\ \displaystyle \frac{845 \textrm{ mmHg}}{1050 \textrm{ mmHg}} = \displaystyle \frac{328 \textrm{ K}}{T'} \\T' = 407.57 \textrm{ Kelvin}

The final temperature is 407.57 K
