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.

What is the maximum radiation pressure exerted by sunlight in space ( s = 1350 w/m 2) on a flat black surface? a. 2. 25 × 10−5 p
mel-nik [20]

The maximum radiation pressure exerted by sunlight in space on a flat black surface is  4.5 × 10^{-6}  P a. So, the correct option is (b).

Radiation pressure is the name for the force electromagnetic wave particles exert on a surface. It is inversely related to the wave's speed. Given data

Solar constant  ( S )  =  1350W / m ^2

Now, the radiaton pressure is given by

P = 2 S /c

where c is the speed of the light

P = 2 × 1350 /3 × 10 ^8

P = 9 × 10^{-6}  P a

For a black surface, P = 4.5× 10^{-6}  P a

Therefore, maximum radiation pressure exerted by sunlight in space on a flat black surface is  4.5 × 10^{-6}  P a

What is the specific heat capacity of an unknown metal if 75.00 g of the metal absorbs 418.6J of heat and the temperature rises
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.223 \frac{J}{g*C}

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

There is a direct proportional relationship between heat and temperature. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body as on its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case, you know:

  • Q= 418.6 J
  • c= ?  
  • m= 75 g
  • ΔT= 25 C

Replacing:

418.6 J= c* 75 g* 25 C

Solving:

c=\frac{418.6 J}{75 g*25 C}

c= 0.223 \frac{J}{g*C}

<u><em>The specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.223 </em></u>\frac{J}{g*C}<u><em></em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

What happens when sodium and chlorine react to make table salt <br><br> Please help
Julli [10]
When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable. The reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat energy.

When considering metal complexation with EDTA, if you are comparing 2 metals, the metal with a higher ____________ will react wi
DENIUS [597]

If you are comparing 2 metals, the metal with a higher <u>Number of free ions</u> will react with EDTA first

<h3>What is EDTA ?</h3>

EDTA is a type of chemical which binds certain metal ions such as calcium and magnesium. some of the functions of EDTA  includes:

  • Preventing blood clotting of blood samples
  • prevention of the formation of Biofilm by bacterias

The EDTA will readily react with metals which have a hiogher number of free ions that it can bind with.

Hence we can conclude that If you are comparing 2 metals, the metal with a higher <u>Number of free ions</u> will react with EDTA first.
