an atom of gallium has 31 proton and a mass number of 70 what is the atomic number for an atom of gallium

Chemistry

<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.

the pressure in a car tire is 198 kpa at 27°C. After a long drive the pressure is 225 kpa. what is the temperature of the air in
Grace [21]

Answer:

340.9°k ~ 67.8°C

Explanation:

This is an example of Gay-Lussac's law, which states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. This means that if the volume increases, so does the temperature, and vice versa.

The equation for this gas law is:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Known

P1 = 198 kPa

T1 = 27°C + 273.15 = 300°K ← Temp. must be in Kelvins

P2 = 225 kPa

T2 = ?

Solution

Rearrange the equation to isolate T2

Input the known values and solve.

T2 = T1P2/P1

Where:

T2 = 300°K × 225kPa/198kPa = 340.91°K

T2 in °C = 340.91°K − 273.15 = 67.8°C

The mineral magnesite contains magnesium carbonate, MgCO3 (molar mass= 84 g/mol), and other impurities. When a 1.26-g sample of
Leviafan [203]

The answer is 33.33 %


The explanation:


According to the reaction equation:


MgCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H20(l) + CO2(g)


we can see that 1 mole of MCO3 will produce → 1 mole of CO2


-Now we need o get number of mole of CO2:


and when we have 0.22 g of CO2, so number of mole = mass / molar mass


moles = 0.22 g / 44 g/mol = 0.005 mole


∴ moles of Mg = moles of CO2 = 0.005 mole


∴ mass of Mg = moles * molar mass


= 0.005 * 84 /mol = 0.42 g


∴ Percent of MgCO3 by mass of Mg = 0.42 g / 1.26 * 100


= 33.33 %

Calculate the pOH and the pH of a 5.0 x 10-2 M solution of NaOH.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

pOH = 1.3, pH = 12.7

Explanation:

Since NaOH is a strong base, it will completely ionize; further, since it completely ionizes, our hydroxide concentration (a product of the ionization) will be the same as the given concentration of NaOH.

NaOH -> Na⁺ + OH⁻, [OH⁻] = 5.0 x 10^-2 M

pOH is the negative log of the hydroxide concentration, so plug our hydroxide concentration in:

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log[5.0 x 10^-2 M] = 1.3

Since pH + pOH = 14, we can plug in pOH and solve for pH:

pH + 1.3 = 14

pH = 14 - 1.3 = 12.7

Thus, our pOH = 1.3 and pH = 12.7.

What can you assume about the anions in the ionic compound copper(II) fluoride? A. The charge on the ionic compound is 2+.
erastova [34]
The answer is C, because if the copper has a +2 charge, the fluoride must have a -2 charge in order to cancel out.
