<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 31.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

We are given:

Number of protons = 31

Mass number = 70

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 70 - 31 = 39

Atomic number will be equal to the number of protons present in an atom which is 31

Hence, the correct answer is 31.

Hello!

Atomic Number, is the number where the atom lays on the perodic table and can be found through the number of protons. Meaning that gallium has an atomic number of 31 !

Atomic weight, which is equal to 70 in this case, can be found by subtracting the atomic number from that total to find the remaining number of neutrons that make up the mass. So gallium has 31 protons and 39 protons.


Hope this helps answer your question.

Nitrous acid, hno2, has a ka of 7. 1 ✕ 10-4. what are [h3o ], [no2-], and [oh -] in 0. 40 m hno2?
romanna [79]

Nitrous acid, hno2, has an acid dissociation constant - ka of 7. 1 ✕ 10-4. what are [h3o ], [no2-], and [oh -] in 0. 40 m hno2 - 4829 M [OH^-] = 1.439 x 10^-14 M

The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is used to differentiate between strong and weak acids. Strong acids have very high Ka values. The Ka value is determined by examining the equilibrium constant for acid dissociation. The acid dissociates more readily as the Ka increases.

The original molecular definition of an acid, according to Arrhenius, is a molecule that dissociates in an aqueous solution, releasing the hydrogen ion H+ (a proton): HA A + H+. acid dissociation constant is an equilibrium constant for this dissociation reaction.

What volume would 75.0g of oxygen gas occupy
seropon [69]

Answer:

Explanation: It is already known that 1 mole of the gas( or 32g of O2) is equivalent to 22.4 Litres of the oxygen gas. So, 8g is equivalent to = (22.4/32) × 8 = 5.6 L of the gas.

Your experiment requires 150 mL of 7.7 M NaOH. How many grams of NaOH will you need?
Elodia [21]
You have molarity and you have volume. Use the formula :
Molarity(M)= Moles(N)/Liter(L)            to get the solution. 
150 ml= .150 L
7.7 = N/.150
N=.1.155 moles of NaOH.
 And since you know the moles, use the molar mass to figure out the grams.
<span> (40g/mol NaOH) x (1.155mol) =  
46.2 g of NaOH.</span>
