<h2>A neutral chromium – 52 atom has 24 protons, 24 electrons and 28 neutrons. </h2>

Further Explanation

The given substance, chromium – 52, is an isotope of chromium. The way it is written is called the hyphen notation of an isotope.

An isotope is like a version of an atom that has a different number of neutrons.

The hyphen notation gives the name of the element and the mass number of the isotope is written after the hyphen.
The mass number gives information about the number of neutrons an atom has. It is the total number of protons and neutrons that are found in the nucleus of an atom.

In this case, the nucleus of the chromium – 52 atom has a total of 52 subatomic particles in it.

<u>Determining the Number of Neutrons in an Atom </u>

To determine how many of the particles in the nucleus are neutrons, the atomic number of the atom is used.

Atomic number is the number that gives the atom its identity and can be found in the periodic table. It gives the number of protons in an atom.

In the most simple periodic table of elements, the atomic number is usually the smaller number written in the tile for each element. The larger number is the mass number.

It can be observed that the atomic number of the elements are increasing by one unit as you go from left to right.

The difference between the larger mass number and the smaller atomic number is the number of neutrons:

<em>Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number </em>

The atomic number of chromium is 24, therefore, its number of neutrons can be determined using the equation:

<em>Number of Neutrons = 52 – 24 </em>
<em>Number of Neutrons = 29. </em>

<u>Determining the Number of Electrons in an Atom </u>

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. Since the number of protons is equal to an element’s atomic number, then the number of electrons is:

<em>Number of electrons = Number of protons = Atomic Number </em>

Since chromium has an atomic number of 24, then it has 24 protons and 24 electrons.

<h3>Therefore, it has been determined that the chromium – 52 atom has 28 neutrons 24 protons and 24 electrons. </h3>

frozen [14]

Answer:

a. i. 8.447 × 10⁻³ T ii. 27.14 cm

b. i. 2.14 cm ii. It is easily detectable.

Explanation:

i. What strength of magnetic field is required?

Since the magnetic force F = Bqv equals the centripetal force F' = mv²/r on the C12 charge, we have

F = F'

Bqv = mv²/r

B = mv/re where B = strength of magnetic field, m = mass of C12 isotope = 1.99 × 10⁻²⁶ kg, v = speed of C 12 isotope = 8.50 km/s = 8.50 × 10³ m/s, q = charge on C 12 isotope = e = electron charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C (since the isotope loses one electron)and r = radius of semicircle = 25.0 cm/2 = 12.5 cm = 12.5 × 10⁻² m

So,

B = mv/rq

B = 1.99 × 10⁻²⁶ kg × 8.50 × 10³ m/s ÷ (12.5 × 10⁻² m × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)

B = 16.915 × 10⁻²³ kgm/s ÷ (20.025 × 10⁻²¹ mC)

B = 0.8447 × 10⁻² kg/sC)

B = 8.447 × 10⁻³ T

(ii) What is the diameter of the 13C semicircle?

Since the magnetic force F = Bq'v equals the centripetal force F' = mv²/r' on the C13 charge, we have

F = F'

Bq'v = mv²/r'

r' = mv/Be where r = radius of semicircle, B = strength of magnetic field = 8.447 × 10⁻³ T, m = mass of C12 isotope = 2.16 × 10⁻²⁶ kg, v = speed of C 12 isotope = 8.50 km/s = 8.50 × 10³ m/s, q' = charge on C 13 isotope = e = electron charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C (since the isotope loses one electron) and = d/2 = 12.5 cm = 12.5 × 10⁻² m

So, r' = mv/Be

r' = 2.16 × 10⁻²⁶ kg × 8.50 × 10³ m/s ÷ (8.447 × 10⁻³ T × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)

r' = 18.36 × 10⁻²³ kgm/s ÷ 13.5321 × 10⁻²² TC)

r' = 1.357 × 10⁻¹ kgm/TC)

r' = 0.1357 m

r' = 13.57 cm

Since diameter d' = 2r', d' = 2(13.57 cm) = 27.14 cm

i. What is the separation of the C12 and C13 ions at the detector at the end of the semicircle?

Since the diameter of the C12 isotope is 25.0 cm and that of the C 13 isotope is 27.14 cm, their separation at the end of the semicircle is 27.14 cm - 25.0 cm = 2.14 cm

ii. Is this distance large enough to be easily observed?

This distance of 2.14 cm easily detectable since it is in the centimeter range.

What is the correct balanced equation for the following equilibrium constant expression?

weeeeeb [17]

The correct answer is 3) 2CO2(g) ⇄ 2CO(g) + O2(g)

this is the correct one because it is a decomposition reaction and all the number of atoms is equal on both sides.

there are 2 C atoms on both sides.

and 4 O atoms on both sides.

and 1) the atoms numbers are equal on both sides but not correct as it not a

correct number as it has 1/2 O2.

and 2) CO2(g) ⇆ CO(g) + O2

the number of O atoms is not equal on both sides of the equation.

we have 2 O atoms on the left side and 3 O atoms on the right side.

so, this not a balanced equation.

4) also not correct 2CO(g) + O2 ⇆ 2CO2

as it is not a decomposition reaction and the 2CO & O2 are as reactants not products.

so the correct answer is 3) 2CO2(g) ⇆ 2CO(g) + O2(g)

raketka [301]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because the result of the described experiment would have better determined the type of scientific explanation to profer. However, the type of material that will preserve the relative hotness or temperature of the hot coffee for the longest time will be a material than can resist heat transfer. These materials tend to keep hot substances hot by not allowing the heat of the coffee to be conducted or pass through it. These materials are mostly insulators or made by placing an insulator between two heat conductors.

Generally, heat is usually transferred from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, hence when the heat is denied of this transfer, the heat will remain trapped in the "heat-donor" substance (in this case the hot coffee). Thus, the material chosen (A, B or C) will be the material that resists heat transfer the most based on the explanation above.

Below is an attachment of the Lewis structure with the lowest formal charges.

The formal charge is the fictitious charge that an atom in a molecule would have if the electrons in the bonds were evenly distributed among the atoms. The nonbonding electrons on a neutral atom are subtracted from its valence electron count, which is then followed by the number of bonds that bind it to other atoms in the Lewis structure, to get the formal charge. This is another way to put it. When hyponitrous acid is oxidized in the atmosphere, nitric and nitrous acids are produced. By reducing a nitrate or nitrite by sodium amalgam in the presence of water, hyponitrite salts have been created.
