An atom (which by definition is neutral) should have (2) an equal number of protons and electrons.
If the number of protons and electrons are not equal, it becomes an ion.The number of protons and neutrons can vary widely depending on what the substance is and depending on the isotopes.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.70 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of graphite (m): 402 g
  • Heat absorbed (Q): 1136 J
  • Initial temperature: 26°C
  • Final temperature: 30 °C
  • Specific heat of graphite (c): ?

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat of graphite

We will use the following expression.

Q = c × m × ΔT

c = Q / m × ΔT

c = 1136 J / 402 g × (30°C - 26°C)

c = 0.70 J/g.°C

naturally occurring bromine molecules, br2 have masses of 158, 160, and 162. they occur in the relative abundances 25.69%, 49.99
4vir4ik [10]
The average atomic mass of an element can be determined by multiplying the individual masses of the isotopes with their respective relative abundances, and adding them. 

Average atomic mass of Br = 158 amu(0.2569) + 160 amu(0.4999) + 162 amu(0.2431)
Average atomic mass = 159.96 amu

As described in the problem, the relative abundance for Br-79 is 25.69%. This is because 2 atoms of Br is equal to 79*2 = 158 amu. Similarly, the relative abundance of Br-81 is 81*2 = 162, which is 24.31%.

What power source uses the earths internal heat
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Geothermal power comes from Earth's internal heat

Explanation:

The description applied to power sources tends to match the names applied to the source of energy. Sometimes Latin, or other word derivations are used.

For example, "hydro-" refers to water, so it is no surprise that hydroelectric power comes from the movement of water. Of course, "nuclear" refers to the nuclei of the atoms that are split to release energy in a nuclear power plant. Similarly, "geo-" refers to Earth, and "thermal" refers to heat, so "geothermal" energy is the name given to energy derived from Earth's heat.
