Answer: b. the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Explanation:

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

In an atom, when neutrons or protons are lost or gains, it directly affects the mass number of an atom.

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

Thus the mass number of an element is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Cesium metal is frequently used in photoelectric cells because the amount of energy necessary to eject electrons from a cesium s
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Wavelength of light in (nm) = 579 nm

Explanation:

At first you find out the amount of energy needed to just eject one electron. This is given by \frac{Energy}{Avogadro's number}

this energy is given in question in kj/mole. This \frac{Energy}{Avogadro's number} is the work function of cesium for each electron is equal to the planc'k  einstein equation.

How many reactant molecules and product gas molecules are in this equation?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

N₂  = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

H₂ = 18.066 × 10²³ molecules

NH₃ = 12.044 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Chemical equation;

N₂ + 3H₂     →  2NH₃

It can be seen that there are one mole of nitrogen three mole of hydrogen and two moles of ammonia are present in this equation. The number of molecules of reactant and product would be calculated by using Avogadro number.

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

Number of molecules of nitrogen gas:

1 mol = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

Number of molecules of hydrogen:

3 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/ 1 mol

18.066 × 10²³ molecules

Number of molecules of ammonia:

2 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/ 1 mol

12.044 × 10²³ molecules
