Both protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus of an atom. Changing the number of neutrons in the nucleus would form d

ifferent isotopes of the same element. Which of these BEST describes the outcome of decreasing the number of protons in the nucleus?

By changing the number of protons in an element, you are fundamentally changing it to a different element.

It’s worth remembering that:

Protons identify the element

Electrons determine properties and behavior of the element

Neutrons contribute to isotopes and just help keep everything stable, by separating the charges. Remember opposites attract. Like charges repel.

1. How many molecules of S2 gas are in 756.2 L?
AfilCa [17]

Answer: There are 2.032 \times 10^{25} molecules S_{2} gas are in 756.2 L.

Explanation:

It is known that 1 mole of any gas equals 22.4 L at STP. Hence, number of  moles present in 756.2 L are calculated as follows.

Mole = \frac{Volume}{22.4 L}\\= \frac{756.2 L}{22.4 L}\\= 33.76 mol

According to mole concept, 1 mole of every substance contains 6.022 \times 10^{23} molecules.

Therefore, molecules of S present in 33.76 moles are calculated as follows.

1 mol = 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\33.76 mol = 33.76 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 2.032 \times 10^{25}

Thus, we can conclude that there are 2.032 \times 10^{25} molecules S_{2} gas are in 756.2 L.

Help this is an earthquake thing
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

im pretty sure its a push or pull thing

Explanation:

Tensional stress is the stress that tends to pull something apart. It is the stress component perpendicular to a given surface, such as a fault plane, that results from forces applied perpendicular to the surface or from remote forces transmitted through the surrounding rock.

What volume of silver metal will weigh exactly 2500.0g. The density of the silver is 10.5 g/cm3
pochemuha
Density = mass/volume
From this equation we can also say:
Volume = mass/density
V = 2500.0g/10.5g/cm3
V = 238 cm3

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of ________ and ________ in the nucleus of an atom. Choose two answers from the options
iVinArrow [24]

Answer :

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

Explanation :

Atomic number : it is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number or atomic mass : It is defined as the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons.

Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

For example :

Number of protons in carbon = 6

Number of neutrons in carbon = 6

Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Mass number or atomic mass = 6 + 6

Mass number or atomic mass = 12

Thus, the atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

The equilibrium constant for the gas phase reaction N2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇌ 2NO (g) is Keq = 4.20 ⋅ 10-31 at 30 °C. At equilibrium, __
pychu [463]

Answer:

At equilibrium, reactants predominate.

Explanation:

For every reaction, the equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants. Thus, for the reaction N2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇌ 2NO the expression of its equilibrium constant is:

Keq = \frac{[NO]^{2}}{[O_{2} ][N_{2}]}

Since the equilibrium constant is Keq = 4.20x10-31 the concentration of reactants O2 and N2 must be much higher than products to obtain such a small number as  4.20x10-31 at the equilibrium. Hence, at equilibrium reactants predominate.
