The answer is; 6
The atomic number of magnesium (the number of protons ) is 12. Since the mass number is the number of protons + neutrons. The neutron number can be derived as 24 -12 = 12.
Since she already has 6 neutrons, she needs to add (12 – 6) more neutrons = 6
Answer: 2 (2 neutrons are produced).
Explanation:
1) In the left side of the transmutation equationa appears:
²³⁵U + ¹n →
I am omitting the atomic number (subscript to the leff) because the question does not show them as it is focused on number of neutrons.
2) The right side of the transmutation equation has:
→ ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + ?
3) The total mass number of the left side is 235 + 1 = 236
4) The total mass number of Ce and Sr on the right side is 144 + 90 = 234
5) Then, you are lacking 236 - 234 = 2 unit masses on the right side which are the 2 neutrons that are produced along with the Ce and Sr.
The complete final equation is:
²³⁵U + ¹n → ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + 2 ¹n
Where you have the two neutrons produced.
HNO2 is the formula for Nitrous Acid
Answer:
49.4 g Solution
Explanation:
There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>A chemistry student needs 20.0g of acetic acid for an experiment. He has 400.g available of a 40.5 % w/w solution of acetic acid in acetone. </em>
<em>
Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>
<em />
We have 400 g of solution and there are 40.5 g of solute (acetic acid) per 100 grams of solution. We can use this info to find the mass of acetic acid in the solution.
Since we only need 20.0 g of acetic acid, there is enough of it in the solution. The mass of solution that contains 20.0 g of solute is:
