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.

A sample of gas occupies 10 L at STP. What

puteri [66]

Pressure is 5.7 atm

Explanation:

P1 = Standard pressure = 1 atm

P2 = ?

V1 = Volume = 10L

V2= 2.4L

T1 = 0°C + 273 K = 273 K

T2 = 100°C + 273 K = 373 K

We have to find the pressure of the gas, by using the gas formula as,

$$\frac{P 1 V 1}{T 1}=\frac{P 2 V 2}{T 2}$

P2 can be found by rewriting the above expression as,

$$P 2=\frac{P 1 \times V 1 \times T 2}{T 1 \times V 2}$

Plugin the above values as,

$$P 2=\frac{1 \text {atm} \times 10 L \times 373 \mathrm{K}}{273 \mathrm{K} \times 2.4 \mathrm{L}}=5.7 \text { atm }$

State the importance of Nitrous oxide

schepotkina [342]

The inducible isoform (NOS-2) is calcium-independent and produces large amounts of gas that can be cytotoxic. NOS oxidizes the guanidine group of L-arginine in a process that consumes five electrons and results in the formation of NO with stoichiometric formation of L-citrulline.
