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

The electrons are found in shells or orbits that surround the nucleus of an atom

Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus . They group in the center of the atom

Give at least one example from industry where a mixture must be separated in order to obtain the materials that are useful to so

deff fn [24]

The answer is; crude oil and iron ore

Iron ore is used to make steel (mainly Fe). However, the raw material contains a mixture of impurities such as pyrite and apatite that have to be removed. Crude oil also includes a mixture of different hydrocarbon and other impurities. Impurities such as water have to be removed and the hydrocarbon distilled to separate them.

Calculate the reaction quotient Qp for the following redox reaction: 14H+ + Cr2O72- + 6Cl- ----> 2Cr3+ + 3Cl2 + 7H2O The reac

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Value of $Q_{p}$ for the given redox reaction is $1.0\times 10^{-8}$

Explanation:

Redox reaction with states of species:

$14H^{+}(aq.)+Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq.)+6Cl^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq.)+3Cl_{2}(g)+7H_{2}O(l)$

Reaction quotient for this redox reaction:

$Q_{p}=\frac{[Cr^{3+}]^{2}.P_{Cl_{2}}^{3}}{[H^{+}]^{14}.[Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}].[Cl^{-}]^{6}}$

Species inside third braket represent concentration in molarity, P represent pressure in atm and concentration of $H_{2}O$ is taken as 1 due to the fact that $H_{2}O$ is a pure liquid.
