With an atomic number of 55, that means there are 55 protons. Because electrons do not count towards atomic weight, the element would have 150-55 neutrons. So, 95 neutrons.

Consider the three equations below.
mash [69]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion plays an important role in making elements that are heavier than helium.

Explanation:

Nucleosynthesis is the process by which new atomic nuclei are created from pre-existing nucleons (protons and neutrons) and nuclei. According to current theories, the first nuclei were formed a few minutes after the Big Bang, through nuclear reactions in a process called Big Bang nucleosynthesis.

In order to synthesize a new element, there must be a change in the number of protons. We should remember that elements are known by the number of their protons as it represents their atomic number.

Elements heavier than helium are formed by nuclear nucleosynthesis in which nuclear fusion plays a very crucial role as typified by the equations shown in the question.

For the chemical reaction 2HBr(aq)+Ba(OH)2(aq)⟶2H2O(l)+BaBr2(aq) write the net ionic equation, including the phases.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

2H⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)  --> 2H2O(l)

Explanation:

2HBr(aq)+Ba(OH)2(aq)⟶2H2O(l)+BaBr2(aq)

We break the compounds into ions. Only compounds in the aqueous form can be turned into ions.

The ionic equation is given as;

2H⁺(aq)  +  2Br⁻(aq)  + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)   --> 2H2O(l)  +  Ba²⁺(aq)  + 2Br⁻(aq)

Upon eliminating the spectator ions; The net equation is given as;

2H⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)  --> 2H2O(l)
