If we have a neutral atom, then it has the same number protons and neutrons.

The number protons and neutrons for neutral atom shows atomic number.

"A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20" means that atom has 20 protons (that give charge "+ 20" ) and 20 electrons (that give charge "-20").

Answer is 20 electrons.

Answer:

The atom with 20 atomic number has 20 electrons.

Explanation:

Atomic number of an atom,Z = 20

Mass number of an atom ,A = 42

Z = Atomic number = Number of proton = Number of electron (neutral atom)

Z = 20

The atom with 20 atomic number has 20 protons.

The atom with 20 atomic number has 20 electrons.

Number of neutrons = A - Z = 42 - 20 = 22

The atom with 20 atomic number has 22 neutrons.

The heat will flow from Cu to Fe because Cu has higher temperature and has lower peak value .

Given ,

two aircraft rivets , one iron and the other copper , are placed in a calorimeter .

the initial temp of the calorimeter is 20 degC .

mass of iron = 30 g

initial temp of iron = 0 degC

Mass of copper = 20 g

initial temp of copper = 100 degC

Here copper has higher temp ,thus heat flow from Cu to Fe .

<h3>What is heat flow ?</h3>

Heat flow is the movement of heat from higher temperature to lower temperature .

<h3>What is calorimeter ?</h3>

It is an object used for measuring the heat flow , heat capacity of a chemical reaction as well as the physical changes .

The elementary reaction 2 H 2 O ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − 2 H 2 ( g ) + O 2 ( g ) proceeds at a certain temperature until the partial pressu
daser333 [38]

Answer:

6.75 × 10⁻⁸is the value of the equilibrium constant at this temperature.

Explanation:

2H₂O(g) ⇄ 2H₂(g) + O₂(g)

Partial pressure of H₂O = 0.0500 atm

Partial pressure of H₂ = 0.00150 atm

Partial pressure of O₂ = 0.00150 atm

The expression of Kp for the given chemical equation is:

K_p = \frac{[H_2]^2[O_2]}{H_2O}

= \frac{(0.00150^2)(0.00150)}{(0.0500)} \\= 6.75 * 10^-^8

6.75 × 10⁻⁸is the value of the equilibrium constant at this temperature
