Answer:

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom

Explanation:

For any given isotope, the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is called the mass number. This is because each proton and each neutron weigh one atomic mass unit (amu). By adding together the number of protons and neutrons and multiplying by 1 amu, you can calculate the mass of the atom

When two species A and B form an electron-pair bond and A does not provide its electrons for bonding, the bond present between A

vichka [17]

Answer:

Ionic

Explanation:

If A does not have electron to bond, it just receives one electron from B.

It can´t be covalent because A don´t have any electrons to bond with B.

What is the coefficient of silver in the final, balanced equation for this reaction?

vekshin1

This is an incomplete question, the complete question is attached below.

Answer : The coefficient of silver in the final, balanced equation for this reaction is, 3

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

The given redox reaction is,

$Ag^+(aq)+Al(s)\rightarrow Ag(s)+Al^{3+}(aq)$

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : $Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-$

Reduction : $Ag^{+}+1e^-\rightarrow Ag$

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the reduction reaction by 3 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced redox reaction will be,

$3Ag^+(aq)+Al(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Al^{3+}(aq)$

From the balanced redox reaction we conclude that, the coefficient of silver in the final balanced equation for this reaction is 3.

Hence, the correct option is 3.

Atmospheric pressure at the summit of mount everest is about one third the pressure at sea level, which is 760 mm hg. if oxygen

vichka [17]

Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 mmHg.
We have been told that at the summit the pressure is only one third the pressure at sea level.
Then the pressure at the mountain top is $\frac{760}{3}$ mmHg
Air is made of a mixture of gases. the pressure that each gas exerts individually contributes to the total pressure of the system. The pressure that each gas exerts is the partial pressure of that gas which depends on the mole fraction of that gas or percentage composition of the individual gas.
Partial pressure of Oxygen - total pressure x percentage composition
Therefore pO₂ - $\frac{760 * 0.21}{3}$ = 53.2 mmHg
Answer is 53 mmHg
