Using the periodic table and your knowledge of atomic structure. Would Carbon-14 have more, less or the same number of neutrons

as a typical carbon atom? How do you know?
A) The same number of neutrons. All carbon atoms have atomic number 6.
B) The periodic table cannot give you the information needed to answer this question.
C) It has less neutrons. Its mass number is smaller than the one on the periodic table.
D) It has more neutrons. Its mass number is larger than the atomic mass number for carbon.

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Carbon-14 is an isotope of carbon-12. Atomic mass means the sum of total number of protons and neutrons.

Carbon-14 means the atomic mass is 14, that is, number of protons will be 6 and number of neutrons will be 8.

Thus, we can conclude that carbon-14 has more neutrons. Its mass number is larger than the atomic mass number for carbon.

What volume of a 0.550 M solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH) can be made with 19.9 g of potassium hydroxide?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.645 L

Explanation:

To find the volume, you need to (1) convert grams to moles (using the molar mass) and then (2) calculate the volume (using the molarity ratio). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given values.

(Step 1)

Molar Mass (KOH): 39.098 g/mol + 15.998 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol

Molar Mass (KOH): 56.104 g/mol

19.9 grams KOH              1 mole
--------------------------  x  -----------------------  =  0.355 moles KOH
                                     56.014 grams

(Step 2)

Molarity = moles / volume                            <----- Molarity ratio

0.550 M = 0.355 moles / volume                 <----- Insert values

(0.550 M) x volume = 0.355 moles              <----- Multiply both sides by volume

volume = 0.645 L                                          <----- Divide both sides by 0.550

Wht is the process of science cyclical and not a linear process??​
Dima020 [189]

Answer:The process of science is iterative.

Science circles back on itself so that useful ideas are built upon and used to learn even more about the natural world. This often means that successive investigations of a topic lead back to the same question, but at deeper and deeper levels. Let's begin with the basic question of how biological inheritance works. In the mid-1800s, Gregor Mendel showed that inheritance is particulate — that information is passed along in discrete packets that cannot be diluted. In the early 1900s, Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri (among others) helped show that those particles of inheritance, today known as genes, were located on chromosomes. Experiments by Frederick Griffith, Oswald Avery, and many others soon elaborated on this understanding by showing that it was the DNA in chromosomes which carries genetic information. And then in 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick, again aided by the work of many others, provided an even more detailed understanding of inheritance by outlining the molecular structure of DNA. Still later in the 1960s, Marshall Nirenberg, Heinrich Matthaei, and others built upon this work to unravel the molecular code that allows DNA to encode proteins. And it doesn't stop there. Biologists have continued to deepen and extend our understanding of genes, how they are controlled, how patterns of control themselves are inherited, and how they produce the physical traits that pass from generation to generation. The process of science is not predetermined.

Any point in the process leads to many possible next steps, and where that next step leads could be a surprise. For example, instead of leading to a conclusion about tectonic movement, testing an idea about plate tectonics could lead to an observation of an unexpected rock layer. And that rock layer could trigger an interest in marine extinctions, which could spark a question about the dinosaur extinction — which might take the investigator off in an entirely new direction. At first this process might seem overwhelming. Even within the scope of a single investigation, science may involve many different people engaged in all sorts of different activities in different orders and at different points in time — it is simply much more dynamic, flexible, unpredictable, and rich than many textbooks represent it as. But don't panic! The scientific process may be complex, but the details are less important than the big picture …

The atomic number of lead (Pb) is 82. Its mass number is 207. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does this neutral atom o
AveGali [126]
An element’s atomic number is equal to the number of protons in that element’s nucleus. The mass number is the total number of an atom’s protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge; electrons have a negative charge; and neutrons are electrically neutral.

Putting it all together, given that the atomic number of lead is 82, the number of protons a lead atom contains is 82. The number of neutrons would be the difference between 207 and 82, or 125 neutrons. Finally, since you have a neutral atom, there must be an equal number of electrons as the number of protons—that is, 82 electrons.

Thus, you’ve got 82 protons, 125 neutrons, and 82 electrons.
