Carbon atoms can be identified based on the # of which subatomic particles

Chemistry
1 answer:
34kurt3 years ago
6 0

Answer: protons and neutrons.

The nucleus is made up of 3 subatomic particles that are protons,neutrons and electrons.  

General notation of an element is _{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}

where, X is the Element, A is the Atomic Mass and Z is the Atomic Number

If we know the number of protons we can easily find out the atomic number of any element because Atomic Number = Number of protons in an element.

And in addition if we know the number of neutrons we can easily find out the atomic mass of an element because

Atomic Mass = (Number of protons) + (Number of neutrons)

If we get to know the atomic number and atomic mass, we can easily tell what element is it by looking from the periodic table.

You will need a periodic table to help you answer this problem. The atomic numbers are arrange from lowest to highest in the periodic table. You can locate element number 55 to be Cesium with an atomic weight of 132.905 amu. So, you start from element 56. The following elements are:

56     Barium       137.328 amu
57     Lanthanium   138.905 amu
58     Cerium       140.116 amu
59     <span>Praseodymium    140.908 amu
60     Neodymium   144.243 amu

Neodymium is already greater than 144 amu. Therefore, these elements only include Barium, Lanthanium, Cerium and Praseodymium.</span>

Why can a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Molecules in a liquid have less force of attraction as compared to solids. But liquid molecules have more force of attraction as compared to gases.

Since molecules of a gas are held together by weak Vander waal forces, therefore, they expand to fill the container whereas molecules in a liquid are not expanded in a container like gases because of more force of attraction within molecules of liquids as compared to gases.

Hence, a liquid can take the shape of container in which it is kept.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself because the particles of a liquid are held together loosely enough to flow, but not so loose that they expand.

When HClO2 is dissolved in water, it partially dissociates according to the equation
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

x = 100 * 1.1897 = 118.97 %, which is > 100 meaning that all of the HClO2 dissociates

Explanation:

Recall that , depression present in freezing point is calculated with the formulae = solute particles Molarity x KF

0.3473 = m * 1.86

Solving, m = 0.187 m

Moles of HClO2 = mass / molar mass = 5.85 / 68.5 = 0.0854 mol

Molality = moles / mass of water in kg = 0.0854 / 1 = 0.0854 m

Initial molality

Assuming that a % x of the solute dissociates, we have the ICE table:

                 HClO2         H+    +   ClO2-

initial concentration:       0.0854                    0             0

final concentration:      0.0854(1-x/100)   0.0854x/100   0.0854x / 100

We see that sum of molality of equilibrium mixture = freezing point molality

0.0854( 1 - x/100 + x/100 + x/100) = 0.187

2.1897 = 1 + x / 100

x = 100 * 1.1897 = 118.97 %, which is > 100 meaning that all of the HClO2 dissociates
