Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound XCl_{2}, it can be broken down into X^{2+} and 2Cl^{-}. Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.

Therefore:

For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.

The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.

And the number of neutrons is 14.

Only option B has the correct answer.

A mercury lamp emits radiation with a frequency of 5.62 x1024 Hz. Calculate the wavelength of
Nitella [24]

Answer:

wavelength = 0.534×10⁻¹⁶ m

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of wave = 5.62 ×10²⁴ Hz

Wavelength = ?

Solution:

Speed of photon = wavelength × frequency

wavelength = speed of photon / frequency

Now we will put the values in formula:

wavelength = 3×10⁸ m/s / 5.62 ×10²⁴ Hz

Hz = s⁻¹

wavelength = 3×10⁸ m/s / 5.62 ×10²⁴ s⁻¹

wavelength = 0.534×10⁻¹⁶ m

A 5.0 L flask contains 0.60 g of 02 at a temperature of 22*C, what is the pressure inside the flask?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The pressure inside the flask is 0,09 atm

Explanation:

We calculate the number of moles of O2, we convert the Temperature into unit KELVIN and use the formula of the ideal gases to calculate the pressure:

Weight 1 mol of 02= 15,999g x2= 32g

32g---1mol 02

0,60g---x=(0,60gx1mol O2)/32g= 0,019mol O2

T(K)=273+22=295K

PV=nRT

Px5.0l= 0,019mol x 0,082 lxatm/Kxmolx295 K

P=(0,019mol x 0,082 lxatm/Kxmolx295 K)/5.0l

P=0,09atm

Suppose a student made a different sodium hydroxide solution using 0.401g of solid sodium hydroxide and 200mL of water. The stud
telo118 [61]

Answer:

0.05 M

Explanation:

Mass of benzoic acid= 0.158g

Volume of benzoic acid= 100 mL

Volume of sodium hydroxide = 27.84mL

Molar mass of benzoic acid= 122g/mol

Number of moles of benzoic acid= 0.158g/122g/mol= 1.3 × 10^-3 moles

C= no of moles/volume

C= 1.3 × 10^-3 moles × 1000/100

C= 0.013M

So;

Volume of acid VA = 100mL

Concentration of acid CA= 0.013M

Volume of Base VB = 27.84mL

Concentration of Base CB= ???

Number of moles of acid NA =1

Number of moles of Base NB= 1

From;

CAVA/CBVB= NA/NB

CAVANB= CBVBNA

CB= CAVANB/VBNA

CB= 0.013 × 100 × 1/27.84 × 1

CB= 0.05 M

What would be the oxidation number of the atoms in these compounds?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Oxidation state] is defined as the charge an atom might be imagined to have when electrons are counted according to an agreed-upon set of rules:

The oxidation state of a free element (uncombined element) is zero for a simple (monoatomic) ion, the oxidation state is equal to the net charge on the ion.

Hydrogen has an oxidation state of 1 and oxygen has an oxidation state of −2 when they are present in most compounds. (Exceptions to this are that hydrogen has an oxidation state of −1 in hydrides of active metals, e.g. LiH, and oxygen has an oxidation state of −1 in peroxides, e.g. H2O2 the algebraic sum of oxidation states of all atoms in a neutral molecule must be zero, while in ions the algebraic sum of the oxidation states of the constituent atoms must be equal to the charge on the ion.

The same is written in my textbook. But how am I supposed to find the ox. number of an atom, which is in compound like K2UO4?
