The force that holds protons and neutrons together is too strong to overcome.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Consider the location of the particles in an atom.

Electrons are found outside the nucleus.
Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus.

Protons carry positive charges and repel each other. The nucleus will break apart without the strong force that holds the protons and neutrons together. This force is much stronger than the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. X-rays are energetic enough for removing electrons from an atom. However, you'll need a collider to remove protons from a stable nucleus. You could well have ionized the atom with all that energy.

Also, changing the number of protons per nucleus will convert the halogen atom to an atom of a different element. Rather than making the halogen negative, removing a proton will convert the halogen atom to the negative ion of a different element.

There are two different compounds of sulfur and fluorine.

weqwewe [10]

Atomic mass of F: 19.0 g/mol

Atomic mass of S: 32.1 g/mol

1.18 g F = [1.18 g / 19.0 g / mol] = 0.062 mol F

1 g S = 1 g/ 32.1 g/mol = 0.031 mol S

Divide by 0.031

0.062 mol F / 0.031 = 2 mol F

0.031 mol S / 0.031 = 1 mol S

SF2 Then X = 2

Verification:
F2 = 2*19.0 g = 38 g F
S = 32.1 g

36 gF / 32.1 g S = 1.18 g F / g S

PLEASE HELP!!!<br> How many km/hr are there in 6.01 x 10^6 yd/wk?

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

32.711

Explanation:

1 yard = 0.0009144 km

1 week = 168 hrs

6.01 x 10^6 / 168 = 35,773.81 yds/hr

= 32.711 km/hr

A 46.2 mL,0.568 M calcium nitrate solution is mixed with 80.5mL of 1.396M calcium nitrate solution.Calculate tge concentration o

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

1.09 M

Explanation:

Let's define the equation that will be used to calculate the final concentration of the resultant calcium nitrate solution. In order to calculate it, we need to find the total number of moles of calcium nitrate and divide by the total volume of the resultant solution:

$c=\frac{n}{V}$

This equation firstly helps us find the number of moles of calcium nitrate. Multiplying molarity by volume will yield the moles. Adding the moles from the first component to the second component will provide us with the total number of moles of calcium nitrate:

$n_{Ca(NO_3)_2}=46.2 mL\cdot0.568 M+80.5 mL\cdot1.396 M=138.62 mmol$

Now, the total volume of this solution can be found by adding the volume values of each component:

$V_total=46.2 mL+80.5 mL=126.7 mL$

Finally, dividing the moles found by the total volume will yield the final molarity:

$c_{final}=\frac{138.62 mmol}{126.7 mL}= 1.09 M$

Answer:

1461.7 g of AgI

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CaI₂ + 2AgNO₃ —> 2AgI + Ca(NO₃)₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaI₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of AgI.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole AgI produced by the reaction of 3.11 moles of CaI₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaI₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of AgI.

Therefore, 3.11 moles of CaI₂ will react to produce = 3.11 × 2 = 6.22 moles of AgI

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 6.22 moles of AgI. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of AgI = 6.22 moles

Molar mass of AgI = 108 + 127

= 235 g/mol

Mass of AgI =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of AgI = 6.22 × 235

Mass of AgI = 1461.7 g

Therefore, 1461.7 g of AgI were obtained from the reaction.
