How to find the number of neutrons in an isotope?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alexeev081 [22]3 years ago
4 0
Chemical properties of elements are primarily determined by the electrons but not by neutrons. Therefore, the isotopes of the same element have similar chemical behavior. (a) The atomic number is 17, so there are 17 protons and 17 electrons. The mass number is 35, so there are 18 (=35-17) neutrons. Hope this helps. :)

Identify which subatomic particles match each of these descriptions. One of the descriptions describes two particles. Make sure
Advocard [28]

Explanation:

protons have a relative charge of +1, they are located in the nucleus and the carry a positive charge

the electrons are negatively charged and have a charge of -1 . They are found orbiting on the shells .the electrons have a negligible mass of 1 / 1840

the neutrons have no charge they are located in the nucleus of an atom .

A chemist takes 50-gram sample of sulfur powder that has a melting point of 115.2 °C. What is the melting point of a 100-gram sa
Viktor [21]

Answer:

115.2 °C since melting point is an intensive property  

Step-by-step explanation:

The melting point of a substance does not depend on how much you have.

For example, the melting point of water is 0 °C, whether it is an ice cube from the refrigerator or in the frozen pond outside.

The freezing point of a substance is an <em>intensive property</em>.

Thus, the melting point of 100 g of sulfur is 115.2 °C because melting point in an intensive property.

Two aqueous solutions are prepared: 1.00 m Na2CO3 and 1.00 m LiCl. Which of the following statements is true?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The Na_{2}CO_{3} solution has a higher osmotic pressure and higher boiling point than LiCl solution.

Explanation:

As concentrations of two aqueous solutions are same therefore we can write:

                                \Delta P\propto i , \Delta T_{b}\propto i and \pi \propto i

where \Delta P, \Delta T_{b} and \pi are lowering of vapor pressure, elevation in boiling point and osmotic pressure of solution respectively. i is van't hoff factor.

i = total number of ions generated from dissolution of one molecule of a substance (for strong electrolyte).

Here both Na_{2}CO_{3} and LiCl are strong electrolytes.

So, i(Na_{2}CO_{3})=3 and i(LiCl)=2

Hence, lowering of vapor pressure, elevation in boiling point and osmotic pressure will be higher for Na_{2}CO_{3} solution.

Therefore the Na_{2}CO_{3} solution has a higher osmotic pressure and higher boiling point than LiCl solution.

How does activation energy affect chemical reactions?
Assoli18 [71]

Enzymes affect the rate of the reaction in both the forward and reverse directions; the reaction proceeds faster because less energy is required for molecules to react when they collide. Thus, the rate constant (k) increases. Figure 3: Lowering the Activation Energy of a Reaction by a Catalyst.

What is the hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion concentration for a pOH of 3.557? Is the solution an acid or a base?​
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Hydrogen ion concentration is 2.773E-4Mole per DM3

Hydroxide ion concentration is 4.093E-11

It is an acid

Explanation:

PH(H3O)=-LogH3O

PH=3.557

H3O=antilog of -3.557

antilog of -3.557=antilog (0.443 -4)

antilog0.443 ×antilog -4=2.773E-4mole per DM3.

(H3O)(OH)=10^-14

H30=2.773×10^-14

OH= 1.00E-14/2.773E-4

=4.093E-11

it is an acid since the concentration of hydrogen ion is more than the hydroxide ion
