<u>Answer:</u> It determines the mass number of the atom.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nucleons are the subatomic particles that are present in nucleus of an atom. The particles which are present in the nucleus of an atom are protons and neutrons.

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons. It is represented as A.

A = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom. It is represented as Z.

Z = Number of protons = Number of electrons

From the above information, we conclude that the number of nucleons determines the mass number of an atom.

The number of neutrons in an atom is the number of particles present in its nucleus.
The atomic number is the number of protons whereas the mass number is the number of protons and number of neutrons together
This implies that the number of neutrons is the atom's mass number

matrenka [14]

Compounds which on dissolving in water gets completely dissociates into its ions are known as strong electrolytes whereas compounds which on dissolving in water gets partially dissociates into its ions are known as weak electrolytes.


Substances which gives solution on dissolving in water and do not dissociates into ions also does not conduct electric current are known as nonelectrolyte.

  • Hydrochloric acid, HCl

On adding HCl (strong acid) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions (H^{+} and Cl^{-}) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

  • Sodium hydroxide, NaOH

On adding NaOH (strong base) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions (Na^{+} and  OH^{-}) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

  • Formic acid, HCOOH

On adding HCOOH (weak acid) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions (H^{+} and  HCOO^{-}) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

  • Methyl amine, CH_3NH_2

On adding CH_3NH_2 (weak base) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions (CH_3NH_3^{+} and  OH^{-}) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

  • Potassium chloride, KCl

On adding KCl in water, it will completely dissociates into ions (K^{+} and  Cl^{-}) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

  • Ethanol, C_2H_5OH

On adding C_2H_5OH in water, it will not dissociates into ions  and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.

  • Sucrose, C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}

On adding C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} in water, it will not dissociates into ions  and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.

When iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) is exposed to carbon monoxide (CO) under high pressure, metallic iron (Fe) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The equation is Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ Fe + CO₂.

The balanced reaction equation is Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂.

Explanation:

First, we have to write our equation. It's actually pretty straightforward - first we look for our reactants (looks like it's Fe₂O₃ and CO), then we look for our products (Fe and CO₂). Then, we have to balance it so that both sides have the same number of both element.

Currently, we have the equation Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ Fe + CO₂. There are 2 Fe atoms, 4 O atoms, and 1 C atom on the left side. There is 1 Fe atom, 2 O atoms, and 1 C atom on the right side.

First thing we can do is give our Fe on the right side a coefficient of 2. This will make it equivalent to the 2 Fe atoms on the left side:

Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ 2Fe + CO₂

Next, we need to make sure that we have the same number of C and O atoms on each side. This takes a little bit of thinking, but what we have to do is give CO a coefficient of 3 and CO₂ a coefficient of 3. This gives us 6 O atoms on the left side (when we include the O₃) and 6 O atoms on the right side (since there are 3 O₂ atoms and 3 times 2 is 6). Here's what that looks like:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂

And that's how I balanced the equation. It can be confusing, but with enough practice, it will get easier and easier. :)

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed= (0 - 26 km/hr) = -26 km/hr

(-26 km/hr) x (1,000 m/km) x (1 hr / 3,600 sec) = -7.222 m/sec

Average acceleration = (-7.222 m/s) / (22 min x 60sec/min) = -0.00547 m/sec²

Average speed during the stopping maneuver =

              (1/2) (start speed + end speed) = 13 km/hr = 3.6111 m/sec
