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

During the titration of a weak acid and a strong base, you would expect the ph at the endpoint of titration to be ____.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer is: b. more than 7.

The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes colour in a colourimetric titration and that is point when titration must stop.

For example, basic salt sodium acetate CH₃COONa is formed from the reaction between weak acid (in this example acetic acid CH₃COOH) and strong base (in this example sodium acetate NaOH).

Balanced chemical reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide:

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂O(l).

Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base react quantitatively with each other.

Which three groups of the periodic table contain the most elements classified as metalloids (semimetals)?

attashe74 [19]

The metalloids are mostly concentrated in groups 14, 15, and 16. (Some simpler charts will show them as 4A, 5A, and 6A - take a look at the top of the periodic table your class uses to double-check).

Answer : The measurement units were biased.

Explanation : While the wildlife researcher weighed all the raccoons that were trapped only in the suburban neighborhood neglected the count of the raccoons in whole state. As per the statement stated in the problem "weighed all the raccoons that were trapped in suburban neighborhoods" clearly shows the confirmation of the same.
