Vikentia [17]3 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

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer : FCH_{2}CH_{2}F

Explanation : In the molecule of FCH_{2}CH_{2}F  the hydrogen bonding forces tend to resist any phase transition form liquid state to gaseous phase, and these hydrogen bonding forces are greater  usually when the hydrogen is bound to an electronegative atom like chlorine, fluorine,oxygen,etc. This then lowers the viscosity of the compound.

) An organic chemistry lab book gives the following solubility data for oxalic acid 9.5g/100ml water 23.7g/100ml ethanol 16.9g/1
mart [117]

Answer:

Ethanol

Explanation:

Solvent extraction is the process in which a compound transfers from one solvent to another owing to the difference in solubility or distribution coefficient between these two solvents(Science Direct).

We have to remember that oxalic acid will be extracted better into a solvent in which it is more soluble. From the data given; oxalic acid is more soluble in ethanol than in ether.

This simply means that ethanol is a better solvent for extracting oxalic acid  from water when compared to ether.

Nick needs 3.5 moles of sodium fluoride (NaF) for a solution he is mixing in the lab. How many grams of NaF does Nick need to me
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

147 g

Explanation:

<em>The number of moles of a substance is the ratio of the mass of the substance and the molar mass of that substance.</em> Mathematically,

  mole = mass of substance/molar mass

In this case, Nick needs 3.5 moles of NaF, the molar mass of NaF is calculated as:

  23 + 19 = 42 g/mol (Note: Na = 23, F = 19)

Hence,

mass of 3.5 mole NaF = mole x molar mass

                              = 3.5 x 42 = 147 g.

<em>Hence, Nick would need to measure out </em><em>147 g</em><em> NaF using a suitable weighing balance.</em>

I’m not sure what kind of answer you’re looking for, but if you’re supposed to translate it into a sentence it would be two moles of sodium bicarbonate(baking soda) decompose unto one mole of sodium carbonate(soda ash) plus one mole of water and one mole of carbon monoxide gas
