<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom. It is represented by A.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

We are given an isotopic representation of $_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}$

Number of protons = 92

Mass number = 238

Number of neutrons = 238 - 92 = 146

For every uranium atom, number of protons will be 92

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

Approximately how much more energy is released in a 6.5 richter magnitude earthquake than in one with magnitude 5.5?

Elanso [62]

Answer: (C) 30 times

Richter scale is used to determine the magnitude of an earthquake from the arrival time of P and S waves. It determines the total amount of energy released during an earthquake.
If Richter magnitude scale measures 6.5 then it produces 30 times more energy than 1 Richter scale magnitude during an earthquake. The magnitude of an earthquake is plotted on a logarithmic scale from 1 to 9 and increases 10 folds by one magnitude. If 6.5 is the magnitude, it means it is 10 times more than 5.5 magnitude earthquake. Similarly the amount of energy is calculated as 30 folds. So 6.5 magnitude will have 30 folds more energy released than that with 5.5 magnitude earthquake.

Calculate the molality of a 10.0% by mass solution of NaCl ______ m

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{0.180 mol/kg }}$

Explanation:

Assume 100 g of solution.

Then you have 10.0 g of NaCl and 90.0 g of water.

$\text{Molal concentration} = \dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{kilograms of solvent}}$

1. Moles of NaCl

$\text{Moles of NaCl} = \text{10.0 g NaCl} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NaCl}}{\text{58.44 g NaCl}} = \text{0.1711 mol NaCl}$

2. Kilograms of water

$\text{Kilograms} = \text{90.0 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{1000 g}} = \text{0.0900 kg}$

3. Molal concentration

$\text{Molal concentration} = \dfrac{\text{0.1711 mol}} {\text{0.0900 kg}} = \textbf{1.90 mol/kg}\\\\\text{The molal concentration of the solution is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.180 mol/kg }}$}$

Hypothesize why carbohydrates are found in plant cell walls

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Plants can split starch into it's simpler glucose units for use as energy when needed. Cellulose is known as a structural carbohydrate because of the fibers formed by it's molecules. It is the major component of plant cell walls and comprises over half of the carbon found on planets.
