Answer:

The answer to your question is:  y = 66.7g

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must remember the Lavoisier law of conservation of mass, that stated that the mass can not be created or destroyed but it changes forms.

So, the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products.

Process

                x          +          y             ⇒           xy

             12.2g                   ?                         78.9 g

           12.2 g + y = 78.9g

           y = 78.9 - 12.2

           y = 66.7g

Plz help meh, I think there is trick question!!!
Crank

Answer:

Explanation:

Atoms of each element contain a characteristic number of protons. In fact, the number of protons determines what atom we are looking at (all atoms with six protons are carbon atoms), the number of protons in an atom is called the atomic number. In contrast, the number of neutrons for a given element can vary.

I hope I helped you!

If the last carbon atom of an unsaturated fatty acid is bonded to two hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom, what type of bond must
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Double bond

Explanation:

Carbon is a tetravalent atom. This implies that the carbon atom always forms four covalent bonds.

These four covalent  bonds may be single, double or triple bonds. Compounds that contain double and triple bonds are said to be "unsaturated".

If the last carbon atom of an unsaturated fatty acid is bonded to two hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom, it means that the bond between the last carbon and the other carbon atom must be a double bond because carbon must be tetravalent and we have already been told that the fatty acid is unsaturated.

The last carbon atom of the unsaturated fatty acid must form two covalent bonds to the other carbon atom in order to respect the tetravalency of carbon.

Since atoms have more than one electron (other than atomic hydrogen) how do you account for the electrons remaining associated w
WARRIOR [948]
Answer: the electrons remain around the atomic nuclei due to the existence of a positive charge on the nuclei that, of course, atract the negative charged electrons. The protons are the paricles in the nuclei that hold the positive charge.

Justification:

First, I wish to explaing the sense of the question. The question arises because given that the electrons have negative electric charge how is that they do not repeal each other to the point that they end leaving the nucleous of the atom alone.

This is you know that equal charges repel each other, so how is it that the electrons stand around the nucleous instead of separateing and levaing the atomic nucleous alone.

The answer is due to the existence of a positive charge on the nuclei that, of course, atract the negative charged electrons. That positive charge is the protons.

The protons are particles in the atomic nuclei that are positive charged and they exert the right attractive force upon the electrons to permit them stay in the orbitals (regions of the space around the nuclei of the atoms where the electrons are found).

Name two elements that have properties similar to those of beryllium and have average atomic masses higher than 130
sertanlavr [38]
In the periodic table, elements of the same group are characterized by having the same similar properties.
So, first we will check the elements that lie within the same group as <span>beryllium  and then we will attempt to choose the elements with atomic mass higher than 130.

So, elements in the same group as </span>beryllium are: magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium.
Among these elements, we will find that:
radium has atomic mass of 226 amu
barium has atomic mass of 137.327 amu

Based on this, the two elements would be barium and radium.
