You can find the atomic number by subtracting the atomic mass by the number of neutrons.

Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.

Atomic number is the total number of protons present.

Mass number = protons + neutrons

Atomic number = protons present.

From the above equations we can conclude that,

Atomic number= Mass number- neutrons.

Thus we can find out the atomic number by subtracting the number of neutrons from the mass number.

1 mole of no2(g) has a greater entropy than 1 mole of n2o4(g). true or false
bija089 [108]
In order to answer this, you need to find the empirical data for the standard entropies. Please refer to this link: http://www.mrbigler.com/misc/energy-of-formation.PDF

For NO₂ gas, the entropy is 240 J/mol-K. For N₂O₄ gas, the entropy is 304.2 J/mol-K. Therefore, <em>the statement is false.</em>

What was the effect of decreasing the copper's mass?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Increasing the temperature of the copper made the final temperature increase and decreasing the temperature of the copper made the final temperature decrease. ... How does changing the initial mass of the copper affect how much heat energy it has? The more copper, the more heat energy.

Explain how the igneous rock granite forms. Then tell how the granite might become the sedimentary rock sandstone and then the m
otez555 [7]

Answer:

There are three main types of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Each of these rocks are formed by physical changes—such as melting, cooling, eroding, compacting, or deforming—that are part of the rock cycle. Sedimentary Rocks Sedimentary rocks are formed from pieces of other existing rock or organic material. There are three different types of sedimentary rocks: clastic, organic (biological), and chemical. Clastic sedimentary rocks, like sandstone, form from clasts, or pieces of other rock. Organic sedimentary rocks, like coal, form from hard, biological materials like plants, shells, and bones that are compressed into rock. The formation of clastic and organic rocks begins with the weathering, or breaking down, of the exposed rock into small fragments. Through the process of erosion, these fragments are removed from their source and transported by wind, water, ice, or biological activity to a new location. Once the sediment settles somewhere, and enough of it collects, the lowest layers become compacted so tightly that they form solid rock. Chemical sedimentary rocks, like limestone, halite, and flint, form from chemical precipitation. A chemical precipitate is a chemical compound—for instance, calcium carbonate, salt, and silica—that forms when the solution it is dissolved in, usually water, evaporates and leaves the compound behind. This occurs as water travels through Earth’s crust, weathering the rock and dissolving some of its minerals, transporting it elsewhere. These dissolved minerals are precipitated when the water evaporates. Metamorphic Rocks Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been changed from their original form by immense heat or pressure. Metamorphic rocks have two classes: foliated and nonfoliated. When a rock with flat or elongated minerals is put under immense pressure, the minerals line up in layers, creating foliation. Foliation is the aligning of elongated or platy minerals, like hornblende or mica, perpendicular to the direction of pressure that is applied. An example of this transformation can be seen with granite, an igneous rock. Granite contains long and platy minerals that are not initially aligned, but when enough pressure is added, those minerals shift to all point in the same direction while getting squeezed into flat sheets. When granite undergoes this process, like at a tectonic plate boundary, it turns into gneiss (pronounced “nice”). Nonfoliated rocks are formed the same way, but they do not contain the minerals that tend to line up under pressure and thus do not have the layered appearance of foliated rocks. Sedimentary rocks like bituminous coal, limestone, and sandstone, given enough heat and pressure, can turn into nonfoliated metamorphic rocks like anthracite coal, marble, and quartzite. Nonfoliated rocks can also form by metamorphism, which happens when magma comes in contact with the surrounding rock. Igneous Rocks Igneous rocks (derived from the Latin word for fire) are formed when molten hot material cools and solidifies. Igneous rocks can also be made a couple of different ways. When they are formed inside of the earth, they are called intrusive, or plutonic, igneous rocks. If they are formed outside or on top of Earth’s crust, they are called extrusive, or volcanic, igneous rocks. Granite and diorite are examples of common intrusive rocks. They have a coarse texture with large mineral grains, indicating that they spent thousands or millions of years cooling down inside the earth, a time course that allowed large mineral crystals to grow.

Alternatively, rocks like basalt and obsidian have very small grains and a relatively fine texture. This happens because when magma erupts into lava, it cools more quickly than it would if it stayed inside the earth, giving crystals less time to form. Obsidian cools into volcanic glass so quickly when ejected that the grains are impossible to see with the naked eye. Extrusive igneous rocks can also have a vesicular, or “holey” texture. This happens when the ejected magma still has gases inside of it so when it cools, the gas bubbles are trapped and end up giving the rock a bubbly texture. An example of this would be pumice.

What is the percent composition by mass of sulfur in the compound mgso4
Margaret [11]

Answer:

26.7% is the percent composition by mass of sulfur in a compound named magnesium sulfate.

Explanation:

Molar mass of compound = 120 g/mol

Number of sulfur atom = 1

Atomic mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol

Percentage of element in compound :

=\frac{\text{Number of atoms}\times \text{Atomic mass}}{\text{molar mas of compound}}\times 100

Sulfur :

=\frac{1\times 32 g/mol}{120 g/mol}\times 100=26.7\%

26.7% is the percent composition by mass of sulfur in a compound named magnesium sulfate.
