The first step Niven has to do in his calculation is to Balanced the chemical equation. The answer is letter A. The key in the balancing of chemical reaction is to make sure that you got the exact chemical formula of the substance that is reacting and the yielded product. After getting the formula, identify first the hardest element/atom to be balanced such as Na, Zn, Cl, etc. Then proceed to the easier ones such as O, H. Make sure to not the atoms present in the molecule of the substance.

calculate the atomic number of an element whose neutral atom has four electrons in its valence shell and its valence shell is th
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The atomic number of the atom is 14.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Valence electrons = 4

Atomic number =.?

From the question given, we were told that the valence electron is in the m shell. Thus, we can say:

M shell = 4 electrons

The number of shells of the atom can be written in the order K, L, M with M as the last shell because we were told that the valence electrons i.e electrons in the outer shell is located at the M shell.

From a detailed knowledge of atom,

K shell = 1st shell

L shell = 2nd shell

M shell = 3rd shell

The first shell, K of an atom can only accommodate 2 electrons while others can accommodate a maximum of 8 electrons.

Note: we can only put electrons in another shell if a shell is already having 8 electrons. This rule only applies to the 2nd shell and above.

Thus, the atom in question has the following electrons:

K shell = 1st shell = 2 electrons

L shell = 2nd shell = 8 electrons

M shell = 3rd shell = 4 electrons

To get the atomic number of the atoms, we simply add all the electrons together.

This is illustrated below:

Atomic number = 2 + 8 + 4

Atomic number = 14

Therefore, the atomic number of the atom is 14.

If the energy of photon emitted from the hydrogen atom is 4.09 x 10-19 J, what is
Aliun [14]

Answer:

486 nm

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Energy (E) = 4.09×10¯¹⁹ J

Wavelength (λ) =?

Next, we shall determine the frequency of the photon. This can be obtained as follow:

Energy (E) = 4.09×10¯¹⁹ J

Planck's constant (h) = 6.63×10¯³⁴ Js

Frequency (f) =?

E = hf

4.09×10¯¹⁹ = 6.63×10¯³⁴ × f

Divide both side by 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 4.09×10¯¹⁹ / 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 6.17×10¹⁴ Hz

Next, we shall determine the wavelength of the photon. This can be obtained as follow:

Frequency (f) = 6.17×10¹⁴ Hz

Velocity of photon (v) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Wavelength (λ) =?

v = λf

3×10⁸ = λ × 6.17×10¹⁴

Divide both side by 6.17×10¹⁴

λ = 3×10⁸ / 6.17×10¹⁴

λ = 4.86×10¯⁷ m

Finally, we shall convert 4.86×10¯⁷ m to nm. This can be obtained as follow:

1 m = 1×10⁹ nm

Therefore,

4.86×10¯⁷ m = 4.86×10¯⁷ m × 1×10⁹ nm / 1 m

4.86×10¯⁷ m = 486 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the photon is 486 nm

Which ones are all renewable resources?
9966 [12]
D, they can be renewed quickly rather than non renewables in which nonrenewable take millions of years. Biomass is all around us, so is water (hydro) and the sun is around us too.

A can contains a gas with a volume of 86 mL at 30oC. What is the volume in the can if it is heated to 65oC?
Ber [7]

Answer:

New volume of gas = 95.93 ml (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Old volume of gas = 86 ml

Old temperature = 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303 K

New temperature = 65°C = 65 + 273 = 338 K

Find:

New volume of gas

Computation:

V1T2 = V2T1

(86)(338) = (V2)(303)

New volume of gas = 95.93 ml (Approx)
