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

Calculate the concentration of the following solution in mol/dm3 0.1 moles of NaCl in 200 cm3
taurus [48]
1 cm ^{3} = 0.001 dm ^{3}. Therefore 200 cm ^{3} = 0.2 dm ^{3}. Molarity = \frac{number of moles of NaCl}{volume of the solution} =  \frac{0.1}{0.2} = 0.5 mol/dm^{3}. Hope this helps.

What is the ph of a 0.0055 m ha (weak acid) solution that is 8.2% ionized?
Trava [24]
Answer is: pH value of weak is 3.35.
Chemical reaction (dissociation): HA(aq) → H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).
c(HA) = 0.0055 M.
α = 8.2% ÷ 100% = 0.082.
[H⁺] = c(HA) · α.
[H⁺] = 0.0055 M · 0.082.
[H⁺] = 0.000451 M.
pH = -log[H⁺].
pH = -log(0.000451 M).
pH = 3.35.
pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity <span>an aqueous solution.</span>
