The correct answer is A. The energy change that happens when a neutral atom gains an electron

Explanation:

In chemistry, an electron is a negatively charged particle that along with neutrons and protons form the atom and make an atom be positively charged, negatively charged or neutral. Additionally, electron affinity refers to the energy involved as in the transfer of electrons, especially as an atom that is neutral gains an electron and energy is released during this change. This occurs mainly in the gaseous state of atoms and implies the creation of bonds. Thus, electron affinity is the energy change as a neutral atom gains an electron (Option A).

Determine the number of neutrons in an atom U-233.
alexdok [17]
We Know, Atomic number of Uranium = 92
Molar mass in given species = 233

Now, Molar mass = Number of Protons + Number of Neutrons
233 = 92 + x
x = 233 - 92
x = 141

So, your final answer is 141

Hope this helps!

Simora [160]
<span>3.68 liters First, determine the number of moles of butane you have. Start with the atomic weights of the involved elements: Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass butane = 4*12.0107 + 10*1.00794 = 58.1222 g/mol Moles butane = 2.20 g / 58.1222 g/mol = 0.037851286 Looking at the balanced equation for the reaction which is 2 C4H10(g)+13 O2(g)→8 CO2(g)+10 H2O(l) It indicates that for every 2 moles of butane used, 8 moles of carbon dioxide is produced. Simplified, for each mole of butane, 4 moles of CO2 are produced. So let's calculate how many moles of CO2 we have: 0.037851286 mol * 4 = 0.151405143 mol The ideal gas law is PV = nRT where P = Pressure V = Volume n = number of moles R = Ideal gas constant ( 0.082057338 L*atm/(K*mol) ) T = absolute temperature (23C + 273.15K = 296.15K) So let's solve the formula for V and the calculate using known values: PV = nRT V = nRT/P V = (0.151405143 mol) (0.082057338 L*atm/(K*mol))(296.15K)/(1 atm) V = (3.679338871 L*atm)/(1 atm) V = 3.679338871 L So the volume of CO2 produced will occupy 3.68 liters.</span>
