Answer:

Mass number = protons + neutron

The mass number of an element is the sum of the protons and neutrons. The number of neutrons for a given element is the only number that can change and still have the identity of the element stay the same, (because the atomic number is the number of protons).

In this case the mass number would be 11

is a polyprotic acid. Write balanced chemical equations for the sequence of reactions that carbonic acid can undergo when it's d

Burka [1]

Answer:

H₂CO₃ H₂O ⇄ HCO₃⁻ + H₃O⁺ Ka1

HCO₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ CO₃⁻² + H₃O⁺ Ka2

CO₃⁻² + H₂O ⇄ HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻ Kb1

HCO₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₂CO₃ + OH⁻ Kb2

Explanation:

Formula for carbonic acid is: H₂CO₃

It is a dyprotic acid, because it can release two protons. We can also mention that is a weak one. The equilibrums are:

H₂CO₃ H₂O ⇄ HCO₃⁻ + H₃O⁺ Ka1

HCO₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ CO₃⁻² + H₃O⁺ Ka2

When the conjugate strong bases, carbonate and bicarbonate take a proton from water, the reactions are:

CO₃⁻² + H₂O ⇄ HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻ Kb1

HCO₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₂CO₃ + OH⁻ Kb2

Notice, that bicarbonate anion can release or take a proton to/from water. This is called amphoteric,

If you found carbon 13 atom, you would know that

bearhunter [10]

The Options are as follow,

a. it has 13 protons c. it has 13 neutrons

b. it has 13 electrons d. it has 7 neutrons

Answer:

Option-d is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As we know that C-13 has a atomic mass of 13. Also, atomic mass is given as,

Atomic Mass = # of Protons + # of Neutrons --- (1)

Since;

Atomic Mass = 13

And,

# of protons = 6 (as number of protons = atomic number)

Putting values in equation 1,

13 = 6 - # of Neutrons

Solving for Number of Neutrons,

# of Neutrons = 13 - 6

# of Neutrons = 7
