Chemistry

Answer:

They all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Explanation:

These are called isotopes. Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. For a neutral atom, it is the same as the number of electrons.

The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.

silicon-28 (28Si)

silicon-29 (29Si)

silicon-30 (30Si)

All of these isotopes have an atomic number of 16

Now let us chech for the neutrons:

 Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number:

for silicon-28 (28Si)  : 28-16 = 12 neutrons

     silicon-29 (29Si) :   29-16 = 13 neutrons

     silicon-30 (30Si):    20-16 = 14 neutrons.

Potassium is isotopic and has RAM of 39.5 work out the percentage abundance of each isotope in a given sample of potassium which
Troyanec [42]

Yo sup??

Let the percentage of K-39 be x

then the percentage of K-40 is 100-(x+0.01)

We know that the net weight should be 39.5. Therefore we can say

(39*x+40*(100-(x+0.01))+38*0.01)/100=39.5  

(since we are taking it in percent)

39*x+40*(100-(x+0.01))+38*0.01=3950

39x+4000-40x-0.4+0.38=3950

2x=49.98

x=24.99

=25 (approx)

Therefore K-39 is 25% in nature and K-40 is 75% in nature.

Hope this helps.

CHEM HELP!
sweet [91]

So let's convert this amount of mL to grams:

\frac{13.6g}{1mL}*1.2mL=16.32g

Then we need to convert to moles using the molar weight found on the periodic table for mercury (Hg):

\frac{1mole}{200.59g}*16.32g=8.135*10^{-2}mol

Then we need to convert moles to atoms using Avogadro's number:

\frac{6.022*10^{23}atoms}{1mole} *[8.135*10^{-2}mol]=4.90*10^{22}atoms

So now we know that in 1.2 mL of liquid mercury, there are 4.90*10^{22}atoms present.

0.5 moles of sodium chloride is dissolved to make 0.05 liters of solution what is the molarity
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Molarity =  moles of solute / liters of solution

M = 0.5 / 0.05

M = 10.0 mol/L⁻¹
