The mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Since there are 16 neutrons, there are 14 protons. This also corresponds to the atomic number, so this atom's atomic number is 14 which is also Silicon

<u>Answer:</u> The atomic number of an atom is 14.

<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 neutrons = 16

Mass number = 30

Number of protons = Atomic number = Mass number - Number of neutrons = 30 - 16 = 14

Hence, the atomic number of an atom is 14.

Which element has the ground state electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p3?
Natalka [10]
Its phosphorus (P)In writing the electron configuration for Phosphorus the first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital. Since 1s can only hold two electrons the next 2 electrons for Phosphorous go in the 2s orbital. The next six electrons will go in the 2p orbital. The p orbital can hold up to six electrons. We'll put six in the 2p orbital and then put the next two electrons in the 3s. Since the 3s if now full we'll move to the 3p where we'll place the remaining three electrons. Therefore the Phosphorus electron configuration will be 1s22s22p63s23p3.

The osmotic pressure exerted by a solution is equal to the molarity multiplied by the absolute temperature and the gas constant
enot [183]

Answer: C=\frac{\pi}{R\times T}

Explanation:-

Osmotic pressure is a colligative property which depends on the amount of solute added.

\pi=CRT

\pi = osmotic pressure = 5.1 atm

C= concentration in Molarity

R= solution constant = 0.0821 Latm/Kmol

T= temperature = 312 K

C=\frac{\pi}{R\times T}

C=\frac{5.1atm}{0.0821Latm/Kmol\times 312K}=0.2mol/L

Thus the equation for calculating the molarity of this solution is C=\frac{\pi}{R\times T}
