How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 22 and its mass number is 96?

Physics
1 answer:
Dovator [93]3 years ago

1. The mass number is protons + neutrons = mass number. In this case, we have protons + neutron = 164.The atomic number is simply the number of protons so we have 43 + neutrons = 164. Subtracting 43 from both sides we get neutrons = 121.
2.  = 4

3. The number of protons in the nucleus does not equal the number of neutrons. 

A=mass number: 
Z=atomic number (= number of protons)
N=number of neutrons:

A=Z+N

If the number of protons in the nucleus is equal the number of neutrons , we would have an even mass number; because Z=N=x; then A=x+x=2x  (this is always an even number) but  23 is an odd number, therefore the number of protons in the nucleus does not equal the number of neutrons.

Magnesium is a shiny, flexible metal that can be burned in the presence of air.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A new substance was formed

Explanation:

According to this question, a shiny and flexible metal called Magnesium (Mg) is burnt in air to produce a white powder that has no shiny or flexible properties, however, has more weight than the magnesium metal itself.

This is possible because a CHEMICAL CHANGE has occured, hence, a new substance has been formed. The formation of a new substance during the burning process (chemical reaction), induced the increase in mass.

1 Give reasons:
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a) The plasma membrane is called a selectively permeable membrane as it permits the movement of only certain molecules in and out of the cells. ... It allows hydrophobic molecules and small polar molecules diffuse through the lipid layer, but does not allow ions and large polar molecules cannot diffuse through the membrane

b) Plastids are present in the cells of plants. They are characterised by the presence of pigments. ... Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments responsible for capturing the light energy that is necessary for photosynthesis. The chloroplasts are therefore known as the kitchen of the cell.

c) Lysosomes are known as the suicidal bag of the cell because it is capable of destroying its own cell in which it is present. It contains many hydrolytic enzymes which are responsible for the destruction process. This happens when either the cell is aged or gets infected by foreign agents like any bacteria or virus.

d) Mitochondria are often called the “powerhouses” or “energy factories” of a cell because they are responsible for making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy-carrying molecule. ... In mitochondria, this process uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide as a waste product.

e) In Hydra, the cells are arranged in two germinal layers—outer ectoderm and inner endoderm. Between these two layers is a layer of undifferentiated cells called mesoglea. Such kind of pattern of embryonic layers is seen in diploblastic animals. Hence, Hydra is a diploblastic animal.

A cube has a drag coefficient of 0.8. What would be the terminal velocity of a sugar cube 1 cm on a side in air ( = 1.2 kg/mº)?
anzhelika [568]

0.495 m/s

Explanation

the formula for the terminal velocity is given by:

\begin{gathered} v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2mg}{\sigma AC}} \\ \text{where} \\  \end{gathered}

m is the mass

g is 9.81 m/s²

ρ is density

A is area

C is the drag coefficient

then

Step 1

Let's find the mass

\begin{gathered} \sigma=\frac{m}{v} \\ m=\sigma\cdot v \\ \text{mass}=(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})\cdot(0.01m)^3 \\ \text{mass}=(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})\cdot(1\cdot10^{-6}) \\ \text{mass}=2\cdot10^{-3}\operatorname{kg} \\ \text{mass}=0.002\text{ kg } \\ \text{Area}=(0.01\text{ m}\cdot0.01m)=0.0001m^2 \end{gathered}

now, replace

\begin{gathered} v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2mg}{\sigma AC}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2(0.002kg)(9.81\text{ }\frac{m}{s^2})}{(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})(0.0001m^2)0.8}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.03924\frac{\operatorname{kg}m}{s^2}}{0.16\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^{}}}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{0.2452\frac{m^2}{s^2}} \\ v=0.495\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

hence, the answer is 0.495 m/s
