Answer: the number of Neutron = 18

Explanation:

Mass number =35

3 energy levels means 3 shells

1st shell = 2 electrons

2nd shell = 8 electrons

3rd shell = 7 electrons

Total = 17

Proton = 17

Neutron = Mass number — proton

Neutron = 35 — 17 = 18

Answer:

The answer to your question is 18 neutrons

Explanation:

Data

Number of neutrons = ?

Atomic mass = 35

Three energy levels

seven valence electrons

Process

1.- We know that this element is on the third period (3 energy levels)

2.- We also know that this element is located on group 7A (it is a halogen)

3.- From the previous information, we conclude that this element is Chlorine.

4.- Chlorine has an atomic number of 17.

5.- The number of Neutrons = Atomic mass - atomic number

= 35 - 17

= 18

Explain why ice is able to float on water

agasfer [191]

Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water. ... The heavier water displaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top. One consequence of this is that lakes and rivers freeze from top to bottom, allowing fish to survive even when the surface of a lake has frozen over

Name each of the following species for the following acid-base reactions. (The equilibrium lies to the right in each case, i.e.,

DaniilM [7]

Answer: a) $H_3O^++CH_3O^-\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH+H_2O$

acid : hydronium ion

base : methoxide ion

conjugate acid : methanol

conjugate base: water

b) $CH_3CH_2O^-+HCl\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH+Cl^-$

acid : hydrogen chloride

base : ethoxide ion

conjugate acid : ethanol

conjugate base: chloride ion

c) $NH_2^-+CH_3OH\rightleftharpoons NH_3+CH_3O^-$

acid : methanol

base : amide ion

conjugate acid : ammonia

conjugate base: methoxide ion

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

The species accepting a proton is considered as a base and after accepting a proton, it forms a conjugate acid.

The species losing a proton is considered as an acid and after loosing a proton, it forms a conjugate base

For the given chemical equation:

a) $H_3O^++CH_3O^-\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH+H_2O$

acid : hydronium ion

base : methoxide ion

conjugate acid : methanol

conjugate base: water

b) $CH_3CH_2O^-+HCl\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH+Cl^-$

acid : hydrogen chloride

base : ethoxide ion

conjugate acid : ethanol

conjugate base: chloride ion

c) $NH_2^-+CH_3OH\rightleftharpoons NH_3+CH_3O^-$

acid : methanol

base : amide ion

conjugate acid : ammonia

conjugate base: methoxide ion

A 1.000-g sample of lead shot reacted with oxygen to give 1.077 g of product. Calculate the empirical formula of the lead oxide

Evgesh-ka [11]

It mean it consisted of 1 g of lead and 0.077 g of O2.
divide these numbers by molar mas.
1/82=0.012 Pb /0.004 = 3
0.077/16= 0.004 O /0.004 =1

One end has a specific binding site for a particular amino acid and the other end

BARSIC [14]

One end has a specific binding site for a particular amino acid and the other end the sequence that can pair with a codon, called an anticodon. The DNA code is translated into messenger RNA when the RNA polymerase binds to it and makes the mRNA copy.

Where on earth did people decide they wanted to go many years ago

adell [148]

Answer:

Many years ago, people living on the Earth, desired to go to the outer space.

Explanation:

When man initiate to go outer space:

Many times ago, people used to think about the world out of Earth, the space and the sky. These thoughts generated the idea of thinking and imagining the space and the moon.

The idea turned into a movie by Georges Méliès, which was inspired by a book written by Jules Verne. The movie gave the idea to Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a Russian man to develop many ideas which were implemented by Russia and America to build airplanes and rockets that we see launching at present.

A small though became an idea which gave birth to a new invention through which people live their dreams of going in the outer space. Incredible!
