In order to calculate how many neutrons are in an atom, you must subtract the mass number from the number of protons? Neutrons =

Mass # - Protons Question 6 options: True False
Chemistry
1 answer:
Inessa05 [86]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The mass number of an atom can be calculated using no of protons and the no of neutrons.

Mass number = no of protons + no of neutrons

We can rearrange the above formula to find the no of neutrons as follows :

no of neutrons = Mass number - no of protons

or

Neutrons = Mass - protons.

Hence, the given statement is true.

To answer this problem, we use Hess' Law to calculate the overall enthalpy of the reactions. The goal is to add all the reactions such that the final reaction is C<span>5H12 (g) + 8O2 (g) → 5CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l) through cancellation adn multiplication. The first equation is multiplied by 5, the second one is multiplied by 6 and the third one is reversed. The final answer is -3538 J or -3.54 x10^3 kJ.</span>

using the soubility curve what is the solubilityof nh4cl in 10 mL of water at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius​
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Please, see attached two figures:

  • The first figure shows the solutility curves for several soluts in water, which is needed to answer the question.

  • The second figure shows the reading of the solutiblity of NH₄Cl at a temperature of 60°C.

  • Answer: <u>5.5g</u>

Explanation:

The red  arrow on the second attachement shows how you must go vertically from the temperature of 60ºC on the horizontal axis, up to intersecting curve for the <em>solubility</em> of <em>NH₄Cl.</em>

From there, you must move horizontally to the left (green arrow) to reach the vertical axis and read the solubility: the reading is about in the middle of the marks for 50 and 60 grams of solute per 100 grams of water: that is 55 grams of grams of solute per 100 grams of water.

Assuming density 1.0 g/mol for water, 10 mL of water is:

            10mL\times 1.0g/mL=10g

Thus, the solutibily is:

      10gWater\times 55gNH_4Cl/100gWater=5.5gNH_4Cl

Why is the symbol for a piece of aluminum foil written as AI, when it actually contains billions of aluminum atoms?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Read Explanation

Explanation:

Aluminum foil does contain billions of atoms, but we write them just as Al because aluminum does not exist in single atom forms in normal circumstances but as billions in metallic bonds.

You drop an unknown substance that weighs 8.3g into a graduated cylinder with 6ml of water. The water rises to 8ml when you drop
valkas [14]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 4.15 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass of object = 8.3 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 8 - 6 = 2 mL

So we have

density =  \frac{8.3}{2}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.15 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Part A Find ΔS∘ for the reaction between nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas to form ammonia: 12N2(g)+32H2(g)→NH3(g) Express your answ
inessss [21]

Answer:

\Delta S^{0} for the given reaction is -99.4 J/K

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: \frac{1}{2}N_{2}(g)+\frac{3}{2}H_{2}(g)\rightarrow NH_{3}(g)

\Delta S^{0}=[1mol\times S^{0}(NH_{3})_{g}]-[\frac{1}{2}mol\times S^{0}(N_{2})_{g}]-[\frac{3}{2}mol\times S^{0}(H_{2})_{g}]

where S^{0} represents standard entropy.

Plug in all the standard entropy values from available literature in the above equation:

\Delta S^{0}=[1mol\times 192.45\frac{J}{mol.K}]-[\frac{1}{2}mol\times 191.61\frac{J}{mol.K}]-[\frac{3}{2}mol\times 130.684\frac{J}{mol.K}]=-99.4J/K

So, \Delta S^{0} for the given reaction is -99.4 J/K
