Answer:

A

Explanation:

To label an element correctly using a combination of the symbol, mass number and atomic number furnishes some important information about the element.

We can obtain these information from the element provided that correct labeling of the element is presented. Firstly, after writing the symbol of the element, the atomic number is placed as a subscript on the left while the mass number of the atomic mass is placed as a superscript on the same left.

Looking at the question asked, we have the element symbol in the correct position as Ca, with 42 also in the correct position which is the mass number. The third number which is 20 is thus the atomic number of the element.

What would happen if carbon -14 gained 1 proton and lost 1 neutron?
sleet_krkn [62]
D. To answer this question refer to the periodic table and think logically about it. Adding one proton increases the atomic number so you go along the row to Nitrogen. If you lose one neutron then the atomic mass decreases by 1 so 14-1 is 13.

Calculate the molality of a solution formed by adding 6.30 g NH4CL to 15.7 g of water
babymother [125]

Answer:

Molality = 7.5 mol/kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NH₄Cl = 6.30 g

Mass of water = 15.7 g (15.7/1000 =0.016 kg)

Molality = ?

Solution:

Formula of molality:

Molality = Moles of solute / mass of solvent in gram

Now we will first calculate the number of moles of solute( NH₄Cl )

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of  NH₄Cl = 53.491 g/mol

Number of moles = 6.30 g/  53.491 g/mol

Number of moles =  0.12 mol

Now we will calculate the molality.

Molality = Moles of solute / mass of solvent in gram

Molality =  0.12 mol / 0.016 kg

Molality = 7.5 m

or        (m=mol/kg)

Molality = 7.5 mol/kg

CH4 (g) yields C(g) + 4H (g) (reaction for expansion)
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Here's what I find.

Explanation:

\rm CH$_{4}$(g) $\, \rightleftharpoons \,$ C(g) + 4H(g)

\text{Same} =\begin{cases}1. & \text{The number of atoms of each element}\\2. & \text{The state of the methane molecules}\\4. &\text{The state of the carbon atoms}\\\end{cases}

\text{Different} =\begin{cases}3. & \text{The enthalpy change of the reaction}\\\end{cases}

The sign of ΔH changes when you reverse the reaction.
