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

1 answer:

6 0

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.

Answer:

Explanation:

A physical quantity which can be completely described by the magnitude and direction both are called vector quantities. For example, displacement, velocity, etc.

A physical quantity which can be completely explained by the magnitude only is called scalar quantity. For example, mass, time, etc.

Where coastal rock is softer, waves erode the land faster

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Headlands and bays are created where there are bands of hard and soft rock which meet the coastline at right angles. Softer rock is eroded more quickly and erodes backwards to form bays (which may have beaches). The harder rocks are more resistant to erosion and jut out into the sea to form exposed headlands

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we are going to use the ideal gass law

PV = nRT

Where n (number of moles) and R are constants (in the present case)

Therefore, we can relate to thermodynamic states with their respective pressure, volume and temperature.

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$ --- (*)

Our initial state is:

P1 = 754 torr

V1 = 3.1 L

T1 = 294 K

If we consider the final state at which the ballon will explode, then:

P2 = Pmax

V2 = Vmax

T2 = 273 K

We also know that the maximum surface area is: 1257 cm^2

If we consider a spherical ballon, we can obtain the maximum radius:

$R_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{A_{max}}{4 \pi}}$

Rmax = 10.001 cm

Therefore, the max volume will be:

$V_{max} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{max}^3$

Vmax = 4 190.05 cm^3 = 4.19 L

Now, from (*)

$P_{max} = P_1 \frac{V_1T_2}{V_2T_1}$

Therefore:

Pmax= P1 * (0.687)

That is:

Pmax = 518 Torr
