Answer: 8 protons and 10 neutrons

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

atomic number = 8 = Number of protons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Mass number = 18 = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Thus Number of neutrons =18 - Number of protons= 18 - 8 = 10

Thus there are 8 protons and 10 neutrons in Oxygen -18.

S-2-iodooctane lost his opticaly activity in soln on tratment wwithNaI. Explain
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Repeated SN2 reactions occur leading to the formation of a racemic mixture

Explanation:

S-2-iodooctane is a chiral alkyl halide with an asymmetric carbon atom. The presence of an asymmetric carbon atom implies that it can rotate plane polarized light and thus lead to optical isomerism. The two configurations of the compound are R/S according to the Cahn-Prelong-Ingold system.

However, when S-2-iodooctane is treated with sodium iodide in acetone, repeated SN2 reactions occur since the iodide ion is both a good nucleophile and a good leaving group. Hence a racemic modification is formed in the system with time hence we end up with (±)- Iodooctane.

N2O5 decomposes to form NO2 and O2 with first-order kinetics. The initial concentration of N2O5 is 3.0 M and the reaction runs f
kow [346]

Answer : The final concentration of N_2O_5 is, 2.9 M

Explanation :

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 5.89\times 10^{-3}\text{ min}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = 3.5 min

a = initial concentration of the reactant  = 3.0 M

a - x = concentration left after decay process = ?

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

3.5=\frac{2.303}{5.89\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{3.0}{a-x}

a-x=2.9M

Thus, the final concentration of N_2O_5 is, 2.9 M

The force of 20 N acts upon a 5kg block. What is the acceleration of the block?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 4 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

where

a is the acceleration

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 20 N

m = 5 kg

We have

a =  \frac{20}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
