The number of protons in an atom is equal the atomic number (= 50)
The sum of the Neutrons and Protons is the Atomic Mass (=125)
Neutrons + Protons=125
Plug in for the protons (50)
Neutrons +(50)=125
Then, once solved, we have Neutrons = 75
Assuming the atom is NOT an ion, the amount of electrons is equal to the number of protons. (protons=electrons=50=50)
Therefore:
There are 50 electrons, 50 protons, and 75 electrons.
The correct is this because they said
Answer:
![K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D%5BHCO_3%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BH_2CO_3%5D%7D)
Explanation:
Several rules should be followed to write any equilibrium expression properly. In the context of this problem, we're dealing with an aqueous equilibrium:
- an equilibrium constant is, first of all, a fraction;
- in the numerator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our products (right-hand side of the equation);
- in the denominator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our reactants (left-hand side o the equation);
- each concentration should be raised to the power of the coefficient in the balanced chemical equation;
- only aqueous species and gases are included in the equilibrium constant, solids and liquids are omitted.
Following the guidelines, we will omit liquid water and we will include all the other species in the constant. Each coefficient in the balanced equation is '1', so no powers required. Multiply the concentrations of the two products and divide by the concentration of carbonic acid:
![K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D%5BHCO_3%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BH_2CO_3%5D%7D)
The earth's plates usually move in three different ways resulting in three different types of plate margins/ boundaries:
CONVERGENT, DIVERGENT and TRANSFORM plate boundaries.When plates move towards each other, they collide and this usually either results in the denser of the plates sliding below the other plate or both plates pushing against each other resulting in both plates being pushed upwards to form often times Fold Mountains. This type of earth tectonics causes a CONVERGENT (destructive; because the collision of the plates results in loss of earth surface area) plate boundary to be formed.
Plates can also pull away from each other and in so doing creating space usually in the form of a fissure between the two moving plates. This fissure usually also for molten earth (magma) rising to the surface and closing the opening between the plates. This type of earth tectonic is known to form DIVERGENT (constructive; because it usually results in new land being formed) plate margins.
Plates also slide against each other (side to side) thus not resulting in neither the destruction or creation of new land. This kind of plate margin is known as the TRANSFORM plate boundary.
The diagram below helps to solidify the points made above.
