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 a typical person, the level of glucose is about 85 mg/ 100 mL of blood. if an average body contains about 11 pt of blood, how
Vanyuwa [196]

Let's note that 1 pint = 473.1765 mL, so 11 pints should be 5204.9415 mL.

We make a proportion out of the word problem

(85 mg glucose/ 100 mL) times (1 g/ 1000 mg) = 4.4242 grams of glucose

How many grams of barium sulfate, BaSO 4 , be precipitated when 2.25 moles of sodium sulfate , Na 2 SO 3 , reacts with an excess
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

525.1 g of BaSO₄ are produced.

Explanation:

The reaction of precipitation is:

Na₂SO₄ (aq) + BaCl₂ (aq) →  BaSO₄ (s) ↓  +  2NaCl (aq)

Ratio is 1:1. So 1 mol of sodium sulfate can make precipitate 1 mol of barium sulfate.

The excersise determines that the excess is the  BaCl₂.

After the reaction goes complete and, at 100 % yield reaction, 2.25 moles of BaSO₄ are produced.

We convert the moles to mass: 2.25 mol . 233.38 g/mol = 525.1 g

The precipitation's equilibrium is:

SO₄⁻² (aq)  +  Ba²⁺ (aq)  ⇄  BaSO₄ (s) ↓       Kps

Greater than ___________ mcg/dl is considered a high level of morning cortisol.
Natalija [7]

Greater than 23mcg/dl is considered a high level of morning cortisol.

Normally, cortisol levels rise during the early morning hours and are highest about 7AM. They drop very low in the evening and during the early phase of sleep. If you do not have this daily change (diurnal rhythm) in cortisol levels, you may have overactive adrenal glands. This condition is called Cushing's syndrome.

What stress would shift the equilibrium position of the following system to the left?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Heating the system

Explanation:

According to the principle of Le Chatelier, for a system at equilibrium, a specific disturbance would make the equilibrium shift toward the direction which minimizes such a disturbance.

Since we wish to shift the equilibrium to the left, this means we wish to increase the concentration of products, as an excess in their concentration would make the products react and produce more reactants in order to lower the excess concentration of products.

Since heat is also a product, an increase in heat would shift the equilibrium toward the left, as this would consume the excess of heat by producing the reactants.
