PLEASE HELP Determine the number of neutrons for the given isotopes:

Chemistry
2 answers:
Julli [10]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Helium: 1

Carbon: 2

Nitrogen: 8

Strontium: 52

Tellurium: 71

Explanation:

An isotope is a<em>tom that belongs to the same chemical element as another, has the same atomic number, but different atomic mass</em>

So the data they give us is the mass number of the isotopes

A= mass number

Z=  atomic number ( number of protons in the nucleus).

IS the number that appears in the periodic table

For example, the Z of neon is 10 and the Z of the oxygen is 8

m= number of neutrons

A= Z+ m

m=A-Z

Helium:

m=A-Z\\ m=3-2\\m=1

Carbon:

m=A-Z\\ m=14-12\\m=2

Nitrogen:

m=A-Z\\ m=15-7\\m=8

Strontium:

m=A-Z\\ m=90-38\\m=52

Tellurium:

m=A-Z\\ m=123-52\\m=71

<span>Helium = 1
Carbon = 8
Nitrogen = 8
Strontium = 52
Tellurium = 71

If you look on a periodic table, on each element there is a number on the top left. This represents the number of protons in an atom. Protons have a mass of 1 (in relative to Carbon-13)

If we take nitrogen-15 for example; The number 15 tells you that the isotope has a mass of 15. Now if you look on the periodic table, Nitrogen has a proton number of 7. Only protons and neutrons have a mass, electrons are considered to be negligable. Therefore the number of neutrons Nitrogen-15 contains is 15 - 7 = 8 </span>

Chemistry Lab Question: Filtration
tatyana61 [14]

For the first question, salt is soluble while sand is insoluble or not dissolvable in water. The salt should have vanished or melted, but the sand stayed noticeable or visible, making a dark brown solution probably with some sand particles caught on the walls of the container when the boiling water was put in to the mixture of salt and sand. The solubility of a chemical can be disturbed by temperature, and in the case of salt in water, the hot temperature of the boiling water enhanced the salt's capability to melt in it.

For the second question, the melted or dissolved salt should have easily made its way through the filter paper and into the second container, while the undissolved and muddy sand particles is caught on the filter paper. The size of the pores of the filter paper didn’t change. On the contrary, the size of the salt became smaller because it has been dissolved which is also the reason why it was able to go through the filter paper, while the size of the sand may have doubled or even tripled which made it harder to pass through.
