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

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.

It increases across a period and decreases down a group. A good way to remember this is that fluorine is the most electronegative atom, and it's to the top right of the table.

How many grams of ethylene glycol (c2h6o2 must be added to 1.25 kg of water to produce a solution that freezes at -5.88 ∘c?
e-lub [12.9K]
The freezing point depression is calculated through the equation,
                                    ΔT = (kf)  x m 
where ΔT is the difference in temperature, kf is the freezing point depression constant (1.86°C/m), and m is the molality. Substituting the known values,
                                   5.88 = (1.86)(m)
m is equal to 3.16m

Recall that molality is calculated through the equation,
                                  molality = number of mols / kg of solvent
                                       number of mols = (3.16)(1.25) = 3.95 moles
Then, we multiply the calculated amount in moles with the molar mass of ethylene glycol and the answer would be 244.9 g.

What volume of air at 25°C and 1.00 atm can he stored in a 10.0 L high-pressure air tank if compressed to 25°C and 175 atm?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

1750L

Explanation:

Given

Initial Temperature = 25°C

Initial Pressure = 175 atm

Initial Volume = 10.0L

Final Temperature = 25°C

Final Pressure = 1 atm

Final Volume = ?

This question is an illustration of ideal gas law.

From the given parameters, the initial temperature and final temperature are the same; this implies that the system has a constant temperature.

As such, we'll make use of Boyle's Law to solve this;

Boyle's Law States that:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P₁ and P₂ represent Initial and Final Pressure, respectively

While V₁ and V₂ represent Initial and final volume

The equation becomes

175 atm * 10L = 1 atm * V₂

1750 atm L = 1 atm * V₂

1750 L = V₂

Hence, the final volume that can be stored is 1750L
