Answer:

It has 28 neutrons

Explanation:

Hi, by definition the mass number of an element if given by:

$A=n_{protons}+n_{neutrons}$

Knowing the mass number of chromiun and the amount of protons it has:

$52=24+n_{neutrons}$

$n_{neutrons}=52-24$

$n_{neutrons}=28$

It has 28 neutrons

Chromium has a total of 28 neutrons. This is found because we subtract the number of protons (the atomic number) from the mass number. 52 minus 24 gives us 28. It also has 24 electrons.

11. If four gases in a cylinder each exert 6 atm, what is the total pressure exerted by the

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

24 atm is the total pressure exerted by the gases

Explanation:

We propose this situation:

In a vessel, we have 4 gases (for example, hydrogen, Xe, methane and chlorine)

Each of the gases has the same pressure:

6 atm → hydrogen

6 atm → xenon

6 atm → methane

6 atm → chlorine

To determine the total pressure, we sum all of them:

Partial pressure H₂ + Partial pressure Xe + Partial pressure CH₄ + Partial pressure Cl₂ = Total P

6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm = 24atm

Both the oxygen you need to breathe and ozone are gases made only of oxygen. So why can't you survive by breathing ozone?

marshall27 [118]

Answer/Explanation: Two atoms of oxygen form the basic oxygen molecule--the oxygen we breathe that is essential to life. The third oxygen atom can detach from the ozone molecule, and re-attach to molecules of other substances, thereby altering their chemical composition.

mixer [17]

Answer:

Manganese decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and nitrogen increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given redox reaction, we rewrite it as a convenient first step:

$2NO + 3MnO_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2NO_3^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H_2O$

Next, we assign the oxidation numbers as follows:

$2N^{2+}O^{2-} + 3Mn^{4+}O^{-2}_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2(N^{5+}O^{2-}_3)^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H^+_2O^{2-}$

Thus, we can see that both manganese and nitrogen undergo a change in their oxidation number, the former decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and the latter increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Regards!

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure acetic acid HCH3CO2 is measured to be 226.torr. Suppose a solution is prepar

Rudiy27

Answer:

The partial pressure of acetic acid is 73.5 torr

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Total pressure is 226 torr

mass of acetic acid = 126 grams

mass of methanol = 141 grams

Step 2: Calculate moles of acetic acid

moles acetic acid = mass acetic acid / molar mass acetic acid

moles acetic acid = 127 grams / 60.05 g/mol

moles acetic acid = 2.115 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of methanol

moles methanol = 141 grams / 32.04 g/mol

moles methanol = 4.40 moles

Step 4: Calculate total moles

Total moles = moles of acetic acid + moles methanol

Total moles = 2.115 moles + 4.40 moles

Total moles = 6.515 moles

Step 5: Calculate mole fraction of acetic acid

2.115 moles / 6.515 moles = 0.325

Step 6: Calculate partial pressure of acetic acid

P(acetic acid) = 0.325 * 226

P(acetic acid) = 73.45 torr ≈73.5

We can control this by calculating the partial pressure of methanol

mole fraction of methanol = (6.515-2.115)/6.515 = 0.675

P(methanol) = 0.675 * 226 = 152.55

226 - 152.55 = 73.45 torr

The partial pressure of acetic acid is 73.5 torr
