Answer: a) chromium-52 :  protons = 24, neutrons = 28

selenium - 80 :  protons = 34, neutrons = 46

molybdenum-98:  protons = 42, neutrons = 56

xenon-132:  protons = 54, neutrons = 78

ytterbium-174 :  protons = 70, neutrons = 104

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Thus, number of protons = atomic number

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

a) chromium-52 :

Atomic number of Chromium is 24 hence number of protons  = 24

52= 24+ Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 28

b) selenium - 80 :

Atomic number of selenium is 34 hence number of protons  = 34

80 =  34 +  Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 46

c) molybdenum - 98 :

Atomic number of molybdenum is 42 is  hence number of protons  = 42

98 =  42 +  Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 56

d) xenon-132:

Atomic number of xenon is 54 hence number of protons  = 54

132 =  54 +  Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 78

e) ytterbium-174:

Atomic number of ytterbium is 70 and  hence number of protons  = 70

174 = 70 +  Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 104

How many grams of NaF form when .5 mol of HF reacts with excess Na2SiO3?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

5.25g

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is shown below:

Na2SiO3 + 8HF → H2SiF6 + 2NaF + 3H2O

From the balanced equation above,

8 moles of HF reacted to produce 2 moles of NaF.

Therefore, 0.5 moles of HF will react to produce = (0.5 x 2)/8 = 0.125 mole of NaF.

Next, we shall convert 0.125 mole of NaF to grams.

This is illustrated below:

Mole of NaF = 0.125 mole

Molar mass of NaF = 23 + 19 = 42g/mol

Mass of NaF =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of NaF = 0.125 x 42

Mass of NaF = 5.25g

Therefore, 5.25g of NaF is produced from the reaction.

elixir [45]

Answer:

Hello your question is poorly written below is the well written question

Uranium, an important component of both nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors, has two major isotopes, U-238, which has a half-life of  approximately 4.5 billion years, and U-235, which has a half-life of approximately 700 million years. Both were present in equal amounts at the time of the creation of the Earth, 4.5  billion years ago. How many years after the creation of the Earth had the amount of radiation from uranium decayed to half the amount present at the time of the creation of the Earth

Answer : 140 billion years

Explanation:

Given that :

U-238   h1/2 = 4.5 billion years

U-235   h1/2 = 700 million years

At the beginning both Isotopes where present in equal amount

Determine the T years before the amount of Uranium decays to Half

T =   ?    N'2 = N1 / 2

we know that N = No ( 1/2 )^h   where h = time / half-life time

attached below is the detailed solution of the given problem

lbvjy [14]
We have that every gas satisfies the fundamental gas equation, PV=nRT where P is the Pressure, V is the volume of the gas, n are the moles of the gas, R is a universal constant and T is the Temperature in Kelvin. We have that PV/T=nR and during our process, the moles of the gas do not change (no argon enters or escapes our sample). See attached.
