Why must each atom of an element always have the same number of protons?

Atoms do not always contain the same number of electrons and protons, although this state is common. When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. In contrast, when an atom loses or gains an electron (or the rarer case of losing or gaining a proton, which requires a nuclear reaction), the total charges add up to something other than zero.

If you are given only the mass number of neutrons, how do we find an atomic number?
77julia77 [94]

Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.

Atomic number is the total number of protons present.

Mass number = protons + neutrons

Atomic number = protons present.

From the above equations we can conclude that,

Atomic number= Mass number- neutrons.

Thus we can find out the atomic number by subtracting the number of neutrons from the mass number.

Answer:  So let's say you climbed on top of a tree in your backyard and decided you wanted to drop some acorns down at people. We will assume there is no air resistance (we live in some vacuum world) and remembering that the total mechanical energy of the system is constant

Need help with 14 and 16 pls asap!! this is my friends test and im taking it tomorrow!!
marin [14]

Answer:

Q14: 17,140 g = 17.14 kg.

Q16: 504 J.

Explanation:

<u><em>Q14:</em></u>

  • To solve this problem, we can use the relation:

<em>Q = m.c.ΔT,</em>

where, Q is the amount of heat absorbed by ice (Q = 3600 x 10³ J).

m is the mass of the ice (m = ??? g).

c is the specific heat of the ice (c of ice = 2.1 J/g.°C).

ΔT is the difference between the initial and final temperature (ΔT = final T - initial T = 100.0°C - 0.0°C = 100.0°C).

∵ Q = m.c.ΔT

∴ (3600 x 10³ J) = m.(2.1 J/g.°C).(100.0°C)

∴ m = (3600 x 10³ J)/(2.1 J/g.°C).(100.0°C) = 17,140 g = 17.14 kg.

<u><em>Q16:</em></u>

  • To solve this problem, we can use the relation:

<em>Q = m.c.ΔT,</em>

where, Q is the amount of heat absorbed by ice (Q = ??? J).

m is the mass of the ice (m = 12.0 g).

c is the specific heat of the ice (c of ice = 2.1 J/g.°C).

ΔT is the difference between the initial and final temperature (ΔT = final T - initial T = 0.0°C - (-20.0°C) = 20.0°C).

∴ Q = m.c.ΔT = (12.0 g)(2.1 J/g.°C)(20.0°C) = 504 J.
