An atom has 8 electrons and a mass of 17. What would the correct symbol be?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Allushta [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

O₈¹⁷

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.

In given statement there are 8 electrons it means the atomic number of given atom is 8 so it would oxygen. The atomic mass of oxygen is 16 while in given statement mass is 17 it means it is the isotope of oxygen that have one more neutron than oxygen 16.

Isotope of an element have same atomic number but different atomic mass due to different number of neutrons.

What are the major specials presents in a solution of a strong acid like HCl
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

hydrogen ions (H⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻)

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid. That means that the compound dissociates completely into ions when is dissolved in water, as follows:

HCl → H⁺ + Cl⁻

The equilibrium is completely shifted to the right side (products). Thus, it is considered that the concentration of the non-dissociated compound (HCl) is negligible, and the major specials present in the solution are the hydrogen ions (H⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻).

You have used 2.4×102 L of distilled water for a dialysis patient. How many gallons of water is that?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

63.36gallons

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of water used for dialysis = 2.4 x 10²L

Solution:

We are to convert from liters to gallons.

The conversion factor is shown below:

                1L = 0.264gallons

To convert to litre:

       since 1L = 0.264gallons

             2.4 x 10²L = (2.4 x 10² x 0.264)gallons; 63.36gallons
