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.

In which system does a spontaneous redox reaction produce electrical energy?
Vladimir [108]
Had to look for the options and here is my answer.
When we say that a redox reaction is spontaneous, this would mean that there is a formation of positive voltage <span>across the electrodes of a voltaic cell. Therefore, the system that this kind of reaction produces electrical energy is in a GALVANIC CELL. Hope this helps.</span>

Water is poured into a conical container at the rate of 10 cm3/sec. The cone points directly down, and it has a height of 20 cm
8090 [49]

Answer:

\frac{dh}{dt}_{h=2cm} =\frac{40}{9\pi}\frac{cm}{2}

Explanation:

Hello,

The suitable differential equation for this case is:

\frac{dV}{dt}=10\frac{cm^3}{s}

As we're looking for the change in height with respect to the time, we need a relationship to achieve such as:

\frac{dh}{dt} = ?*\frac{dV}{dt}

Of course, ?=\frac{dh}{dV}.

Now, since the volume of a cone is V=\pi r^2h/3 and the ratio r/h=15/20=3/4 or r=3/4h, the volume becomes:

V=\pi (\frac{3}{4} h)^2h/3= \frac{3}{16}\pi h^3

We proceed to its differentiation:

\frac{dV}{dh} =\frac{9}{16} \pi h^2\\\frac{dh}{dV} =\frac{16}{9 \pi h^2}

Then, we compute \frac{dh}{dt}

\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{16}{9 \pi h^2}*\frac{dV}{dt}\\\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{16}{9\pi h^2}*10\frac{cm^3}{s} =\frac{160}{9 \pi h^2}

Finally, at h=2:

\frac{dh}{dt}_{h=2cm} =\frac{160}{9\pi 2^2}\\\frac{dh}{dt}_{h=2cm} =\frac{40}{9\pi}\frac{cm}{s}

Best regards.

Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent for 4Li(s) + O_2 (g) to 2Li_2O(s).
Doss [256]
The reaction is:

<span>4Li(s) + O2 (g) = 2Li+  + 2O-2(s).

The oxidizing agent is the one that is being reduced which is oxygen  where the charge changed from neutral to -2 while the reducing agent is the on being oxidized which is lithium where the charge change from neutral to +1.</span>
