Answer:

39

Explanation:

Electrons weigh almost nothing, so their mass doesn't really matter for these types of problems. Just subtract 118-79 to find the remaining mass which is for the neutrons.

Identify the base in the reaction (CH3)3N(aq) + HCl(aq) → (CH3)3NH+(aq) + Cl−(aq) 1. (CH3)3NH+(aq) 2. Cl−(aq) 3. (CH3)3N(aq) 4.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

(CH3)3N(aq)

Explanation:

We have to think of the definition of acid and base in the sense of Brownstead-Lowry. The Brønsted–Lowry theory is an acid–base reaction theory which was proposed independently by Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted and Thomas Martin Lowry in 1923.

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a chemical species that donates one or more hydrogen ions in a reaction. In contrast, a Bronsted-Lowry base accepts hydrogen ions. When it donates its proton, the acid becomes its conjugate base. A more general approach to the theory is viewing an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton acceptor.

If we look at the reaction closely, we can see that (CH3)3N(aq) accepted a proton. According to the definition above, we will have to classify (CH3)3N(aq) as a base. Hence the answer.

What is the density if<br> a sample of rock has a mass of 69<br> g and a volume of<br> 23<br> ml?
kiruha [24]
Density = mass / volume

= 69g / 23 ml

= 3 g / ml.

Thus, the density of the sample is 3 grams per ml or 3g/ ml

What is 3.5x10^2 x 8.0x10^-2 in scientific notation
docker41 [41]
Scientific notation is defined as writing a number between 0 to 10 multiplied by a power of 10
3.5 x 10² x 8.0 x 10⁻²
when we solve the equation 
answer - 28 
to write in scientific notation the decimal point should come after the first digit from the right. to bring the decimal point from after digit 8 to after digit 2, we have to move one decimal place to the left. then we get 2.8, to get the value as 28 we have to multiply 2.8 by 10
therefore answer is 
2.8 x 10¹

In which medium would light have the longest wavelength?
emmainna [20.7K]
Color implies visible light, so to answer your question: red light has the longest wavelength (~620 - 740 nm). However, there also exists light with even longer wavelengths that is not visible to the human eye, from infrared light to radio waves (with wavelengths that are meters long!)
