Answer:

To find the number of neutrons we would subtract the number of protons from mass number of an atom.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example:

The mass number of carbon is 12 amu and it has six protons thus to find the number of neutrons we would subtract the 6 from 12 and get number of neutrons.

12- 6 = 6 neutrons

Temperature is _____ to the average kinetic energy of a gas.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As on increasing the temperature, the molecules gain more kinetic energy due to which they tend to collide and move rapidly from one place to another.  

Thus, we can conclude that when temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.

This means that temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of a gas.

Which base is the strongest for the given [H+]?
AURORKA [14]
The answer is 10-12. The relationship of pH and [H+] is pH = -lg[H+]. And the higher pH, the stronger base is. So the strongest base has the lowest concentration of H+.
