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.

If a pork roast must absorb

Black_prince [1.1K]

Let us assume propane was the fuel
C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) ---> 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) = 2217kJ
1 mole ofpropane produces 3 moles of CO2
heat absorbed by pork = 0.11 x 2217
= 243.87 kJ/mol
number of moles of propane = 1700kJ / 243.87 kJ/mol
= 6.971 moles
1 mole of C3H8 = 3 moles ofCO2
6.971 moles of C3H8 = ?
3 x 6.971 = 20.913 moles of CO2
Convert to grams
mass = MW x mole
= 44 x 20.913
= 920.172g of CO2 emitted

A sample of gaseous neon atoms at atmospheric pressure and 0 °c contains 2.69 * 1022 atoms per liter. the atomic radius of neon

omeli [17]

Explanation

Radius of neon atom : 69 pm = $69\times 10^{-12} m$

Volume occupied by the one atom: $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times(69\times 10^{-12} m)^3=1.37\times 10^{-30} m^3$

given that $2.69\times 10^{22}$ atoms are present in 1L

1 L = 0.001 $m^3$

The volume occupied by the $2.69\times 10^{22}$ neon atoms

$2.69\times 10^{22}\times 1.37\times 10^{-30} m^3=3.68\times 10^{-8} m^3$

Fraction of volume occupied by the neon atom:

$=\frac{3.68\times 10^{-8} m^3}{0.001 m^3}=3.68\times 10^{-11} m^3$

$3.68\times 10^{-11} m^3$

The fraction of of volume occupied by the neon atom is very less than the 1 L which indicates the presence of large amount of empty space between the atoms of the gas.

If hydrogen bonds between water molecules were, collectively, not as strong as they are, how would this affect plant height?

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Plants will be shorter

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are responsible for the movement of water through plants. As hydrogen bonds are responsible for the movement of water through plant xylem and phloem, plants would be shorter.

A research team has just discovered a new element called Likhitium. Now they need to determine the average atomic mass in order

earnstyle [38]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is shown in the image attached to this answer.

Answer:

139.13

Explanation:

The average atomic mass of the element Likhitium is the sum of the relative abundance of all the isotopes of Likhitium.

We obtain the relative atomic mass of Likhitium as follows;

(44.7/100 * 138) + (52.3/100 * 139) + (0.5/100 * 140) + (2.5/100 * 141)

61.7 + 73.2 + 0.7 + 3.53 = 139.13

Hence the relative abundance of Likhitium is 139.13
