We have been given the condition that carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance and the rest is made up of oxygen. With this, it can be concluded that 65% of the substance is made up of oxygen. If we let x be the mass of oxygen in the substance, the operation that would best represent the scenario is,

<span>                                       x = (0.65)(5.5 g)</span>

<span>                                       <em> </em><span><em>x = 3.575 g</em></span></span>

The parent element 247 95 am decays by beta decay which daughter element will formn
ziro4ka [17]
Atomic mass of the parent element =247,
atomic number of the parent element = 95

In the process of β-decay electron leaves the nucleus, so instead of one neutron we get one proton.

Mass of proton≈mass of neutron,
so atomic mass will not change.

Charge of proton =+1, and charge of neutron = 0.
So, we will get atomic number increased by one.

New element (daughter) will have 
atomic mass = 247, 
and atomic number= 95+1=96

Number 95 - Am (parent),
number 96 - Cm(daughter),

So, from Am-247 we will get Cm-247.

Why is the mass of the third subatomic particle ignored?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: The mass of electrons is mostly ignored because electrons are extremely small compared to neutrons and protons.

Explanation: A proton is about 1,836 times the size of an electron.

On the periodic table, the atomic number for each element can be found. This number is found by measuring the weight of 6.02 x 10^23 atoms of the element in grams. Electrons aren't ignored when finding exact math, but for the sake of simplification high school teachers will generally have you only count the number of protons and neutrons when calculating the mass of atoms.

Cl2(g) + 2kBr(s) ---&gt; 2KCl(s) + Br2(g) Rewrite the equation and write the color of each chemical under its name. 2. What type
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Cl2(g) (green/yellow mix) + 2KBr(s) (white) ---> 2KCl(s) (violet) + Br2(g) (reddish brown)

This chemical reaction is a redox type.

Explanation:

Look at the oxidation state, when the number increase your element gets oxidated, when the number decrease, the elements it's getting reduced.
