Answer:

The atomic mass of an atom is the number of protons plus neutrons.

Fact: In case you get it confused with atomic number, atomic number is the number of protons in the atom.

Explanation: It could have been electrons plus neutrons since electrons equals protons but electrons aren't stable which is why it is protons and neutrons.

How do the densities of the two objects compare?

Marizza181 [45]

Compare the density of the object in question to the density of water. If its density is less than water, it will float. For example, oak floats because its density is 0.7 g/cm³. If the density of an object is greater than water, it will sink.

Consider a voltaic cell where the anode half-reaction is Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2 e− and the cathode half-reaction is Sn2+(aq) + 2 e

notsponge [240]

Answer: The concentration of $Sn^{2+}$ in the cell is $9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation:

We are given:

Oxidation half reaction: $Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V$

Reduction half reaction: $Sn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Sn(s)$ $E^o_{Sn^{2+}/Sn}=-0.136V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, fluorine will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.
