Answer: Yes

Explanation:

On the periodic table, you can find the element symbol, name, atomic number, and atomic mass. Just knowing the atomic mass and atomic number can give you the amount of neutrons. The atomic number states the amount of protons. The atomic mass is proton+neutron. Knowing this, you can subtract the atomic mass by the atomic number to get neutron.

Example: Carbon

Atomic number: 6

Atomic mass: 12.011 or 12

12-6=6 [Atomic mass - Atomic number]

There are 6 neutrons in Carbon.

If the relative rate of diffusion of ozone as compared to chlorine is 6:3 and further if the density of chlorine is 36 Find out

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The density of ozone is 4.24.

Explanation:

The relation between the relative rate of diffusion and density is given by :

$r\propto \dfrac{1}{\sqrt d}$

The given ratio of the relative rate of diffusion of ozone as compared to chlorine is 6:3.

Let the density of ozone is d₂.

$\dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}} \\\\\dfrac{6}{3}=\sqrt{\dfrac{d_2}{36}} \\\\3=\dfrac{\sqrt{d_2}}{6}\\\\d_2=\sqrt{18} \\\\d_2=4.24$

So, the density of ozone is 4.24.

Precision Problems:

Lorico [155]

Answer:

$Precision = 2.70 \± 0.1\ cm$

Explanation:

Given

The data in the table

Required

Follow the steps appended to the question;

Step 1: Calculate the Mean or Average

Mean = Summation of lengths divided by number of teams;

$Mean = \frac{2.65 + 2.75 + 2.80 + 2.77 + 2.60 + 2.65 + 2.68}{7}\ cm$

$Mean = \frac{18.9}{7}\ cm$

$Mean = 2.70\ cm$

Step 2: Get The Range

$Range = Highest - Lowest$

$Range = 2.80cm - 2.60cm$

$Range = 0.2\ cm$

Step 3: Divide Range by 2

$Approximate\ Range = \frac{1}{2}Range$

$Approximate\ Range = \frac{1}{2} * 0.2\ cm$

$Approximate\ Range = 0.1\ cm$

Step 4: Determine the Precision

$Precision = Average \± Approximate\ Range$

Substitute 2.70 for Average and 0.1 for Approximate Range

$Precision = 2.70 \± 0.1\ cm$
