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.

Calculate the number of grams of solute in 500.0 mL of 0.189 M KOH.
KIM [24]

Answer : The number of grams of solute in 500.0 mL of 0.189 M KOH is, 5.292 grams

Solution : Given,

Volume of solution = 500 ml

Molarity of KOH solution = 0.189 M

Molar mass of KOH = 56 g/mole

Formula used :

Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of KOH}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of KOH}\times \text{Volume of solution in ml}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the mass of solute KOH.

0.189M=\frac{\text{Mass of KOH}\times 1000}{(56g/mole)\times (500ml)}

\text{Mass of KOH}=5.292g

Therefore, the number of grams of solute in 500.0 mL of 0.189 M KOH is, 5.292 grams

Michigan v. Tyler was the Supreme court ruling that they violated when

warrantless search was done.

<h3>Michigan v. Tyler case</h3>

The Court of Appeals of the State of Michigan affirmed the conviction for the

exception of a warrantless search only in the case of an arson.

In this case, there was no arson involved which is against the rule of law as

various items (stolen money, illegal weapons, drugs) were only searched for.

This thereby violates the U.S. Supreme Court ruling between Michigan v.

Tyler.

A patient needs to be given exactly 1000 ml of a 5.0% (w/v) intravenous glucose solution. the stock solution is 55% (w/v). how m
LiRa [457]
The patient needs 1000 ml of 5% (w/v) glucose solution
i.e  1000 ml x 5 g/ 100 ml 
where the stock solution is 55% (w/v) = 55 g / 100 ml  
So, 1000 ml x 5 g / 100 ml = V (ml) x 55 g / 100 ml 
V = 1000 x (5 / 100) / (55 / 100) = 5000 / 55 = 90.9 ml 
∴ the patient needs 90.9 ml of 55% (w/v) glucose solution

If the atomic number of an element is 9 and the mass number is 19, how many neutrons does the atom have? 10 9 19 28 1 points
IRINA_888 [86]
Remember....

mass number= atomic number + number of neutrons

If the mass number is 19 and the atomic number is 9, then the number of neutrons is 19-9 which is 10.
