An element has an atomic number of 18 and an atomic mass of 40. The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of this element

is????
Chemistry
1 answer:
Vikentia [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: 22 neutrons

Explanation: 40 is the mass number = atomic mass = total number of protons and neutrons in atomic nucleus

18 is the number of protons in the nucleus of this atom

Then 40 - 18 = 22 neutrons

and this is Argon

How many molecules are in 6.0g of sodium phosphate?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

2.2 x 10²² molecules.

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles in (6.0 g) sodium phosphate:

<em>no. of moles = mass/molar mass </em>= (6.0 g)/(163.94 g/mol) = <em>0.0366 mol.</em>

  • <em>It is known that every mole of a molecule contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³) of molecules.</em>

<em />

<u><em>using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mole of sodium phosphate contains → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.

0.0366 mole of sodium phosphate contains → ??? molecules.

<em>∴ The no. of molecules in  6.0 g of sodium phosphate</em> = (6.022 x 10²³ molecules)(0.0366 mole)/(1.0 mole) = <em>2.2 x 10²² molecules.</em>

Suppose that 33.3 J of heat is added to an ideal gas. The gas expands at a constant pressure of 1.45 104 Pa while changing its v
levacccp [35]

Answer:

ΔU = 25.8 J

Explanation:

The gas absorbs 33.3 J of heat, that is, Q = 33.3 J.

The work (W) of expansion can be calculated using the following expression:

W = -P. ΔV

where,

P is the external pressure

ΔV is the change in volume

W = -1.45 × 10⁴ N . m⁻² × (8.40 × 10⁻⁴ m³ - 3.24 × 10⁻⁴ m³) = -7.48 J

The change in the internal energy (ΔU) is:

ΔU = Q + W

ΔU =  33.3 J + (-7.48 J) = 25.8 J

A chemical process dissolves 500 milligrams of iron oxide every 20 minutes. How long would it take this reaction to dissolve 2 l
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

36290 min = 604.8 hr.

Explanation:

  • Knowing that:

1 lbs = 453.59237 grams.

∴ 2 lbs = 907.18474 grams.

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

500 mg of iron oxide dissolved → 20 minutes.

907184.74 mg of iron oxide dissolved → ??? minutes.

<em>∴ The time needed to dissolve 2 lbs of iron oxide =</em> (907184.74 mg)(20 min)/(500 mg) = <em>36290 min = 604.8 hr.</em>
