If element x has 55 protons how many electrons does it have

Chemistry

Answer: 55

Explanation: A atom consists of a nucleus  and electrons.Nucleus contain neutrons with no charge and protons with positive charge. The electrons bearing negative charge revolve around the nucleus.

An electrically neutral atom contains equal number of protons and electrons. Thus if a neutral element X contains 55 protons, it also contains 55 electrons.

If the element has 55 protons it is celcium and it also has 55 electrons. It has an atomic mass of 133 (132.9) so to get the number of neutrons you subtract the atomic mass and the number of protons.

The mole fraction of CO2 in a certain solution with H2O as the solvent is 3.6 × 10−4. What is the approximate molality of CO2 in
nataly862011 [7]

Answer: C) 0.020 m

Explanation:

Molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per kg of the solvent.

Molality=\frac{n\times 1000}{W_s}

where,

n = moles of solute  

W_s = weight of solvent in g  

Mole fraction of CO_2 is = 3.6\times 10^{-4} i.e.3.6\times 10^{-4}  moles of CO_2 is present in 1 mole of solution.

Moles of solute (CO_2) = 3.6\times 10^{-4}

moles of solvent (water) = 1 - 3.6\times 10^{-4} = 0.99

weight of solvent =moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.99\times 18=17.82g

Molality =\frac{3.6\times 10^{-4}\times 1000}{17.82g}=0.020

Thus  approximate molality of CO_2 in this solution is 0.020 m

Explain how the heat and phase changes affects the environment? Give examples.<br>(5-7 sentences)​
NeX [460]
Energy is required to change the phase of a substance, such as the energy to break the bonds between molecules in a block of ice so it may melt.
During a phase change energy my be added or subtracted from a system, but the temperature will not change. The temperature will change only when the phase change has completed. No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings. Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart so that the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature.

Which college classes would a student most likely take to become an oceanographer? Select 4 choices.
Setler [38]

Answer:

marine biology

coastal ecology

astronomy

meteorology

Explanation:

As a college student, to study oceanography one will have to take classes in the field of marine biology, coastal ecology, astronomy and meteorology.

An oceanographer is someone or a professional that studies the ocean in order have more scientific knowledge about them.

Oceanography is a merger of geology, biology, chemistry, physics as it pertains to the ocean.

  • There is no need to study human anatomy to study oceanography.
  • Marine biology and coastal ecology deals with study of life forms in their marine environment.
  • Astronomy and meteorology helps to gain insight about the formation of the ocean and how weather relates to the ocean.

How does a planet’s motion affect its length of day and year? <br> PLEASEEEE HELPPPP!!!!
Tom [10]

the time it take for a planet to rotate on its axis makes up its day so if it were slower the day would be longer like earth, it take about 24 hours to make one full rotation.

Now for a year the distance from its star is the largest factor, because the further out the longer it takes to revolve around it, thus making a longer year.

g A spontaneous process is one in which: A. releases a large amount of heat B. may happen (is possible) C. will rapidly approach
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

A. releases a large amount of heat

Explanation:

A reaction is said to be spontaneous if it can proceed on its own without the addition of external energy. A spontaneous reaction is not determined by the length of time, because some spontaneous reactions are completed after a long period of time. They are exothermic in nature. An example is the conversion of graphite to carbon which takes a long period of time to complete. Spontaneous reactions are known to increase entropy in a system. Entropy is the rate of disorder in a system.

In the combustion of fire, energy is released to the surroundings as there is a decrease in energy. This is an example of a spontaneous reaction because it is an exothermic reaction, which causes an increase in entropy and a decrease in energy.
