The atomic number gives you the number of protons element x has. Since the mass of protons and neutrons are almost similar(around 1 amu), the mass number can be thought of as the sum of protons and neutrons. so if element x whose atomic number is 40 has a mass number of 82, then we know that 42 of those must be neutrons.

If you mix 100 g of ice at 0 ∘c with 100 g of boiling water at 100 ∘c in a perfectly insulated container, the final stabilized t
loris [4]

The final stabilized temperature will be between 0 °C and 50 °C.

<h3>Calorimetry:</h3>

The enthalpy of fusion of ice is 334 J/g. The specific heat of water is 4.2 J/g.

To cool 100 g of water from 100 °C to 0 °C would require the removal of

4.2 x 100 x 100 = 42000 J.

To melt the ice would require the addition of

334 x 100 = 33400 J

∴ 42000  > 33400 thus you can melt all the ice and have some heat to spare, specifically 42000 - 33400 = 8600 J

Now use this to warm up 100+100 = 200 g of water at 0 °C

The final stabilized temperature;

8600 / (200 x 4.2) = 10.23 °C

Therefore, the final stabilized temperature is 10.23 °C

Explain what white light is and what it’s composed of.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The light that comes from the sun is called white light. Actually white light is a mixture of lights of different colors. When we look at the rainbow we can see the colors that make up the white light. This phenomenon, known as dispersion, occurs when a ray of composite light is refracted (refraction) in some medium, and its constituent colors are separated.

I attached you I picture where you can see this process

Basically, when the light passes through a glass prism, the different wavelengths that make up the beam of light travel inside it at different speeds and curl differently when entering and leaving resulting in a beam deviated from the initial direction and with its separate components.
