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.

Copper sulfate can crystalize as an anhydrate (no water in the crystal) or as three different hydrates (varying amounts of water
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Two factors that might have a affect of which copper sulphate mineral will occur at a given location  is:

A. Copper sulphate high solubility in water

B. Also it binds nicely with the sediments  or the crystal.

Explanation:

As it is mentioned here that copper sulphate can be crystallized as an anhydrate which means that their  is no waterin those crystals or can be as of those three different hydrates whose crystal structure varies with the amount of water present in it.

The four forms are also given of the copper sulphate are:

  • Bonatite
  • Boothite
  • Chalcanthite
  • Chalcocyanite

So, the two factors that might give an affect which type of copper sulphate  mineral willoccur at a given location is:

A. The copper sulphate high solubility in water.

B. It binds extremely nicely with the sediments or say to the crystal. It is  also regulated by plants.

A compound containing Na, C, and O is found to have 1.06 mol Na, 0.528 mol C, and 1.59 mol O. What is the empirical formula of t
Effectus [21]

Given :

Moles of Na : 1.06

Moles of C : 0.528

Moles of O : 1.59

To Find :

The empirical formula of the compound.

Solution :

Dividing moles of each atom with the smallest one i.e 0.528 .

So,

Na : 1.06/0.528 = 2.007 ≈ 2

C : 0.528/0.528 = 1

O : 1.59/0.528 = 3.011 ≈ 3

Rounding all them to nearest integer, we will get the number of each atom in the empirical formula.

So, empirical formula is Na_2CO_3 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
