Answer:

The 197Au isotope has 79 protons, 79 electrons and 118 neutrons

Explanation:

Step 1: The isotope = 197Au

Step 2: Calculate neutrons, electrons and protons

197 = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Isotopes always have the same proton number ( is the same as the atomic number). For Gold (Au) is this 79.

The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom. Since we have 79 protons, there are also 79 electrons.

All isotopes of Au have a different number of neutrons.

The number of neutrons = 197 -79 = 118 neutrons

The 197Au isotope has 79 protons, 79 electrons and 118 neutrons

For the following reaction, 35.4 grams of zinc oxide are allowed to react with 6.96 grams of water . zinc oxide(s) + water(l) --

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

$m_{Zn(OH)_2}=38.4g$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the undergoing chemical reaction:

$ZnO(s)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2$

We evaluate the yielded moles of zinc hydroxide by each reactant as shown below:

$n_{Zn(OH)_2}^{by ZnO}=35.4gZnO*\frac{1molZnO}{81.38gZnO}*\frac{1molZn(OH)_2}{1molZnO} =0.435molZn(OH)_2\\\\n_{Zn(OH)_2}^{by H_2O}=6.96gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18.02gH_2O}*\frac{1molZn(OH)_2}{1molH_2O} =0.386molZn(OH)_2$

In such a way, since the water yields a smaller amount of zinc hydroxide we conclude it is the limiting reactant so the maximum mass is computed below:

$m_{Zn(OH)_2}=0.386molZn(OH)_2*\frac{99.424 gZn(OH)_2}{1molZn(OH)_2} \\\\m_{Zn(OH)_2}=38.4g$

Because the water limits the yielded amount of zinc hydroxide.

Best regards!

Predict the products and write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction. Include the physical state of the product(s).

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Al(C2H3O2)3 (aq) + 3AgNO3 (aq) ------>Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3Ag(C2H3O2)(s)

Explanation:

A chemical reaction refers to an interaction between two or more chemical species that leads to the formation of other new chemical species.

There are many types of chemical reactions. The type shown above is called a double replacement reaction. In this type of reaction, ions exchange partners in the product.

A chemical reaction is said to be balanced when the number of atoms of each element on the left hand and right hand sides of the reaction equation are exactly the same.

What is the role of meteorites in the formation of life?

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Meteorites are consensually considered to be involved in the origin of life on this Planet for several functions and at different levels: (i) as providers of impact energy during their passage through the atmosphere; (ii) as agents of geodynamics, intended both as starters of the Earth’s tectonics and as activators of local hydrothermal systems upon their fall; (iii) as sources of organic materials, at varying levels of limited complexity; and (iv) as catalysts.
