The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons
64 = #protons + #neutrons
Find the number of protons given the number of neutrons
64 = #protons + 33
#protons = 31
In a neutral element (such as this), the number of electrons equals the number of protons
#electrons = #protons
#electrons = 31

Answer:

The isotope must have 31 electrons

Explanation:

  • Mass number = (number of neutrons)+(number of protons)
  • Here, mass number of element is 64 and number of neutrons is 33
  • So, number of protons i the element = (mass number)-(number of neutrons) = (64)-(33) = 31
  • Isotope of an element remain present in neutral form.
  • So, number of protons should be equal to number of electrons in that isotope. Because proton has +1 charge and electron has -1 charge
  • So, the isotope must have 31 electrons.

What does X represent for this transmutation?
zzz [600]

612C

Explanation:

The correct answer is carbon-12: this is a nuclear fusion reaction.

In nuclear reactions, the mass number and the atomic numbers are usually conserved:

                    ⁹₄Be    +    ⁴₂H       ₙᵃX      +    ₀¹n

 conserving atomic number:

     4 + 2 = n + 0

    n = 6

conserving mass number :

     9+4 = a + 1

       a = 12

   therefore X = ¹²₆C

Compound Y has the elements C, H, N and O. It's exact mass is 91.0425. Answer the following questions. Isotope Exact Mass 1H 1.0
Talja [164]

Answer:

Six C atoms (C₆); five H atoms (H₅); one N atom (N); no O atoms

Explanation:

The rule of 13 states that the formula of a compound is a multiple n of 13 (the molar mass of CH) plus a remainder r.

MF = CₙHₙ₊ᵣ

Y has a molecular mass of 91 u

91/13 =7r0

The formula can't be C₇H₇ because a hydrocarbon must have an even number of H atoms,

The odd mass and the odd number of H atoms make it reasonable to add an N atom and subtract CH₂ (CH₂ = 14):

C₇H₇ + N - CH₂ = C₆H₅N

Check:

6C = 6 × 12.000 = 72.000 u

5H = 5 ×   1.008 =   5.040

1N =  1 × 14.003 =  <u>14.003    </u>

             TOTAL =   91.043 u

This is excellent agreement with the observed mass of 91.0425 u.

There are six  C atoms (C₆)

There are five H atoms (H₅)

There is    one N atom   (N)

There are no   O atoms.
