Answer:

this isn't correct answer but the equation is correct by using this methid you can got your answer .

Explanation:

Given - Mass number of atom = 23

Atomic number of atom = 11

As, no. of electrons in an atom is equal to an atomic number of the element.

So, number of electrons = 11

Secondly , number of protons are equal to number of electrons.

so, number of protons = 11

And number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 23−11 = 12

so, number of neutrons = 12

So , the atom contains 11 protons, 11 electrons, 12 neutrons.

OleMash [197]

Answer:

The enthalpy change during the reaction is -199. kJ/mol.

Explanation:

$Mn(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MnCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)$

Mass of solution = m

Volume of solution = 100.0 mL

Density of solution = d = 1.00 g/mL

$m=1.00 g/mL\times 100.0 mL = 100 g$

First we have to calculate the heat gained by the solution in coffee-cup calorimeter.

$q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

m = mass of solution = 100 g

q = heat gained = ?

c = specific heat = $4.18 J/^oC$

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = $23.1^oC$

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature = $28.9^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=100 g \times 4.18 J/^oC\times (28.9-23.1)^oC$

$q=2,242.4 J=2.242 kJ$

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change during the reaction.

$\Delta H=-\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat gained = 2.242 kJ

n = number of moles fructose = $\frac{\text{Mass of manganese}}{\text{Molar mass of manganese}}=\frac{0.620 g}{54.94 g/mol}=0.0113 mol$

$\Delta H=-\frac{2.242 kJ}{0.0113 mol }=-199. kJ/mol$

Therefore, the enthalpy change during the reaction is -199. kJ/mol.

1. Write a brief account of Ernest Rutherford’s personal and professional life in no more than 150 words.

miv72 [106K]

Ernest Rutherford was a famous British physicist who lived and worked in the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. He is now considered to be the father of nuclear physics, given that he was the one responsible for figuring out about the nuclear structure of an atom (proton, electron, neutron) and about the nuclear processes in general. The element rutherfordium (Rf) is named after this scientist. When it comes to his personal life, his parents are both British, however, Ernest was born in New Zealand because his mom and dad before he was born. He worked as a professor in several universities, and was even knighted in 1914. He is a Nobel prize winner, which he won for Chemistry in 1908.
