Answer:

They are all the same = 8

Explanation:

Since the symbol of that atom is not give, we can infer from the given number the nature and kind of element we are dealing with.

The number 15.999 rounded up to 16 is the atomic weight of the atom also called the mass number.

Although not peculiar enough, we are certain that this atom is Oxygen.

 On the periodic table, elements are arranged based on their atomic numbers.

    Atomic number of oxygen = 8 = number of protons

For every neutral atom on the periodic table, the number of protons and electrons are the same

Atomic number of oxygen = number of protons = number of electrons = 8

 Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 16 - 8 = 8

Describe the difference between gravitational force and strong nuclear force
arsen [322]

Gravitational force is much weaker, because it is the force of gravity, or the force that makes smaller objects be pulled towards a much bigger one with a certain amount of force.

Now strong nuclear force, which is very strong, keeps the atomic particles in an atom from separating, and the reason it is so powerful is because the particles in an atom repel each other and this force keeps them from doing .that

Hydrogen sulfide is composed of two elements: hydrogen and sulfur. in an experiment, 6.500 g of hydrogen sulfide is fully decomp
LiRa [457]
Hydrogen sulfide = hidrogen + sulfur

       6.500 g                      

a)                             0.384 g   +    x

=> 6.500 = 0.384 + x => x = 6.500 - 0.384 = 6.116 g

Answer: 6.116 g of sulfur must be obtained

b) this experiment demonstrate the conservation of mass.

c) Dalton's atomic model states that the atoms cannot be created, split or be destroyed, and so in a chemical reaction the atoms rearrange but the number of each type of atoms remain constant, so the mass of each type of atoms and the total mass remain constant.

The equilibrium constant is given for two of the reactions below. Determine the value of the missing equilibrium constant. 2A(g)
monitta

Answer:

The value of the missing equilibrium constant ( of the first equation) is 1.72

Explanation:

First equation: 2A + B ↔ A2B   Kc = TO BE DETERMINED

 ⇒ The equilibrium expression for this equation is written as: [A2B]/[A]²[B]

Second equation: A2B + B ↔ A2B2   Kc= 16.4

⇒ The equilibrium expression is written as: [A2B2]/[A2B][B]

Third equation:  2A + 2B ↔ A2B2     Kc = 28.2

⇒ The equilibrium expression is written as: [A2B2]/ [A]²[B]²

If we add the first to the second equation

2A + B + B ↔ A2B2   the equilibrium constant Kc will be X(16.4)

But the sum of these 2 equations, is the same as the third equation ( 2A + 2B ↔ A2B2)   with Kc = 28.2

So this means: 28.2 = X(16.4)

or X = 28.2/16.4

X = 1.72

with X = Kc of the first equation

The value of the missing equilibrium constant ( of the first equation) is 1.72
