How many neutrons are in lithuim-8

Chemistry
1 answer:
irinina [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

5 neutrons

Explanation:

There five isotopes of lithium. The most stable and abundant is lithium-7.

Its percentage is 92.5%. It has four neutrons. All lithium isotopes have same atomic number but different atomic mass because of different number of neutrons.

Lithium-8 have five neutrons.

Lithium-9 have six neutrons.

Lithium-11 have eight neutrons.

Lithium-4 has one neutron.

Lithium is alkali metal.

It is present in 1st group.

Its atomic number is 3.

Its atomic mass is 7 amu.

Lithium salts are used in psychiatric medicine.

The individual components of a solution_____.
Misha Larkins [42]
Its been awhile since I've dabbled in chemistry, but i do know that A isnt the answer because the question says solution, not mixture. This looks somewhat like a trick question, it says individual components, so the answer would be C. This is because the individual components do react to form a compound. B and D would be true if it didnt say individual components, so the question is basically focusing on only one ingredient, not the whole solution. Answer: C

Who is Gregor Mendeſ, and what did he<br> discover about traits?
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits.

Through his careful breeding of garden peas, Gregor Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity and laid the mathematical foundation of the science of genetics.

Molecule contains carbon, hydrogen and sulfur atoms. When a sample of 0.535g of this compound is burnt in oxygen, 1.119 g of CO2
OLga [1]

Answer:

The empirical formula is, C4H4S

Explanation:

Number of moles of carbon = 1.119 g/ 44g/mol = 0.025 moles

Mass of Carbon= 0.025 moles × 12 g/ mole = 0.3 g

Number of moles of hydrogen = 0.229/18g/mol × 2 = 0.025 moles

Mass of hydrogen = 0.025 moles × 1 = 0.025 g

Number of moles of sulphur = 0.407g/ 64 g/mol = 0.0064 moles

Mass of sulphur= 0.0064 moles ×32 = 0.2 g

Now we obtain the mole ratios by dividing through by the lowest ratio.

C- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, H- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, S- 0.0064 moles/0.0064 moles

C4H4S

Which statement explains why large atoms are more reactive than small atoms?
Lunna [17]

A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms.

For example, the valence electron of a small atom like Li is tightly held. <em>Lithium gently fizzes</em> on the surface as it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen.

In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that <em>cesium exlodes </em>on contact with water.

A piece of high-density Styrofoam measuring 24.0 cm by 36.0 cm by 5.0 cm floats when placed in a tub of water. When a 1.5 kg boo
zheka24 [161]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         Width of Styrofoam = 24.0 cm

          Length of Styrofoam = 36.0 cm

          Height of Styrofoam = 5.0 cm

Therefore, volume of the Styrofoam will be calculated as follows.

                  Volume = length × width × height

                                =  (36.0 × 24.0 × 5.0) cm^{3}

                                 = 4320 cm^{3}

or,                             = 4.32 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}

As Styrofoam partially sinks at 3.0 cm and total height of Styrofoam is 5.0 cm. Hence, height of Styrofoam above the water is (5.0 - 3 cm) = 2 cm.

So, volume of water displaced is as follows.

          24.0 cm × 36.0 cm × 2.0 cm

         = 1.73 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}

Hence, mass of displaced water is as follows.

                 mass = density × volume

                           = 1.00 g/cm^{3} \times 1.73 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}

                           = 1.73 \times 10^{3} g

Since, book is placed on the Styrofoam. Therefore, mass of water displaced is also equal to the following.

             Mass of water displaced = mass of book + mass of Styrofoam

                  1.73 \times 10^{3} g = 1500 g + mass of Styrofoam

                   (1730 - 1500) g = mass of Styrofoam

                   mass of Styrofoam = 230 g

Therefore, calculate the density of Styrofoam as follows.

                   Density = \frac{mass}{volume}  

                                 = \frac{230}{4.32 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}}

                                 = 53.24 \times 10^{-3} g cm^{-3}

Thus, we can conclude that the density of Styrofoam is 53.24 \times 10^{-3} g cm^{-3}.
