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

Chemistry
2 answers:
Julli [10]3 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>

. Why a chlorine atom with an atomic number of 17 will be negatively charged when its valance shell gains an electron.
sesenic [268]

Explanation:

When chlorine bonds and becomes stable, (had a full outer electron shell), because we know that chlorine has 7 electrons in it’s outer shell, it requires 1 to gain noble gas structure. So, when if bonds with an element and then becomes stable, the gaining of an electron means it becomes a negatively charged ion. (an ion being a charged particle.)

at what temperature will a fixed amount of gas with a volume of 175 L at 15 degrees celsius and 760mmHg occupy a volume of 198L
Jlenok [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The temperature when the volume and pressure has changed is 274 K

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the pressure when temperature and volume has changed, we use the equation given by combined gas law. The equation follows:

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1,V_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

P_2,V_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

We are given:

P_1=760mmHg\\V_1=175L\\T_1=15^oC=[15+273]K=288K\\P_2=640mmHg\\V_2=198L\\T_2=?K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{760mmHg\times 175L}{288K}=\frac{640mmHg\times 198L}{T_2}\\\\T_2=274K

Hence, the temperature when the volume and pressure has changed is 274 K
