Rounded to the nearest whole number, how many neutrons, on average, are in an atom of osmium?

Physics

Answer: 114

Explanation:

Osmium: It is hard, brittle transition metal.

Chemical symbol: Os

Atomic number, Z = 76

Number of protons = Atomic number = 76

Mass Number, A = 190.23 ≈ 190

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

⇒190 = 76 + n

⇒n = 190 - 76

⇒n = 114

Thus, the atomic number of an atom of Osmium is 114.

Answer: 114

Explanation:

The mass number of an element gives the sum of the protons and the neutrons inside the nucleus of one atom of that element, while the atomic number of an element gives the number of protons inside one atom of that element.

We can infer the number of neutrons inside one atom of Osmium from its mass number and atomic number.

The atomic number of osmium is 76, so each atom of osmium has 76 protons

The (average) mass number of osmium is 190, so each atom of osmium has (on average) 190 protons+neutrons

So, in order to find the average number of neutrons, we can subtract the atomic number from the mass number:

N=A-Z=190-76=114

A car radio draws 0.27 A of current in the autos 12-V electrical system. (a) How much electric power does the radio use?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

(a) 3.24 w (b) 44.44 ohm

Explanation:

It is given that car draws 0.27 A current so current I = 0.27 A

The system has a voltage of 12 V

(a) Electrical power = voltage ×current =12\times 0.27=3.24W

(b) The resistance is defined as the ratio of voltage and current

So resistance R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{12}{0.27}=44.44 ohm

How does the input distance of a single fixed pulley compare to the out- put distance?
ololo11 [35]

A pulley is another sort of basic machine in the lever family. We may have utilized a pulley to lift things, for example, a banner on a flagpole.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The point in a fixed pulley resembles the support of a lever. The remainder of the pulley behaves like the fixed arm of a first-class lever, since it rotates around a point. The distance from the fulcrum is the equivalent on the two sides of a fixed pulley. A fixed pulley has a mechanical advantage of one. Hence, a fixed pulley doesn't increase the force.

It essentially alters the direction of the force. A moveable pulley or a mix of pulleys can deliver a mechanical advantage of more than one. Moveable pulleys are appended to the item being moved. Fixed and moveable pulleys can be consolidated into a solitary unit to create a greater mechanical advantage.

Where were most of the elements "forged" on the periodic table ​
klemol [59]
<h2>Answer: Stars</h2>

Most of the chemical elements of the Periodic Table were formed or "<em>forged</em>" in the different types of stars that exists in the universe in their different phases of life.

For example, a young star is composed mainly of Hydrogen, the simplest chemical substance and <u>the first in the Periodic Table</u>; being this the element that leads to the other known elements. Taking into account that the two components of each hydrogen atom (1 proton and 1 electron) are separated, the great pressure within the star manages to merge (fuse) two protons.

What does this mean?

Well, sometimes a proton captures an electron and becomes a neutron, but when two protons and two neutrons join together, they form the Helium nucleus, which is <u>the second element in the periodic table</u>. Then, when two helium nuclei join and form the nucleus of another element, Beryllium and so on.

So, by means of the nuclear fusion process the nuclei of most of the  elements lighter than Iron (which is the chemical element 26 of the periodic table) can be formed.

Now, elements that are heavier than Iron can be forged within the stars through the capture of neutrons. In this way, the collapse of the star's center core occurs so quickly that it generates huge shock waves that eject the outer layers of the star into space becoming a <u>supernova</u>. Then, it is during the few seconds of collapse that the specific pressure and temperature conditions in the supernova are created and allow heavier elements to be generated and expelled as interstellar dust and gas.

In this sense, with the explosion of more<u> massive stars</u> and <u>white dwarfs</u> other chemical elements are formed, as well as others that are formed by <u>dying stars of low mass</u> and <u>neutron stars</u>.

However, it should be noted that there are also chemical elements that are artificially formed in experimental fusion nuclear reactors.
