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

Which member of each pair is more soluble in water? Why?<br> (a) CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃(l) or CH₃CH₂OCH₂(g)
Anna [14]

CH₃CH₂OCH₂ is more soluble in water because it has shorter hydrocarbon chain.

<h3>What is hydrocarbon?</h3>

Hydrocarbon is defined as the compound which contain hydrocarbon and carbon atoms.

The carbon atom attached to each other to form framework and hydrogen atom attach to them in different ways to give different configuration. One of the most popular hydrocarbon compound is diamond.

<h3>Solubility of hydrocarbon in water</h3>

Hydrocarbon is non polar compound whereas water is polar compound. So, hydrocarbon is in soluble in water. But as they have weak intermolecular interactions known as London dispersion forces i.e. Instantaneous dipole-induced dipole interactions.

make them less soluble in water.

Greater the hydrocarbon chain lesser will be the solubility of ketone in water. On the other hand, lesser the hydrocarbon chain greater will be the solubility of ketone in water.

Thus, we concluded that the CH₃CH₂OCH₂ is more soluble in water because it has shorter hydrocarbon chain.

Through an uplift under the earth crust at a dirvergent boundary a _____ is formed.
postnew [5]

<span>Out of the  following given choices;</span>

<span>a. cliff               b. fault </span>

<span>c. plateau          d. mountain</span>

<span>The answer is b.  A divergent boundary is a line at which two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. It is caused by the two magma convection currents in the mantle moving in opposing directions (one clockwise, the other anti-clockwise) hence dragging the crust with them. Therefore the biggest force at the boundary on the crust is that of pulling. This causes <span>fractures and faults on the earth’s crust.</span></span>

While doing a lab a student found the density of a piece of pure aluminum to be 2.85 g/cm3 the accepted value for the density of
____ [38]

Answer:

THE PERCENT ERROR IS 5.55 %

Explanation:

To calculate the percent error, we use the formula:

Percent error = Found value - accepted value / accepted value * 100

Found value = 2.85 g/cm3

Accepted value = 2.70 g/cm3

Solving for the percent error, we have:

Percent error = 2.85 g/cm3 - 2.70 g/cm3 / 2.70 g/cm3 * 100

Percent error = 0.15 / 2.70 * 100

Percent error = 0.05555 * 100

Percent error = 5.55 %

In conclusion, the percent error is 5.55 %

Choose the correct statement regarding the behavior of water.Group of answer choicesThe heat capacity of liquid water is greater
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The water phase with the smallest temperature increase when adding 10 kcal of heat is solid ice.

Explanation:

The rest of the statements are incorrect. The density of ice is lower than the density of water. The heat capacity of solid ice is greater almost twice the heat capacity of the liquid water. The heat capacity of vapors is less than heat capacity of liquid.
