Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf C. \ 4}}

Explanation:

First, define some important terms.

  • Mass number: the sum of the nucleons (protons and neutrons)
  • Atomic number: the number of protons

We know the mass number is 9. So, the sum of protons and neutrons is 9.

  • mass \ number =9
  • protons + neutrons = 9

We also know the atoms has 5 neutrons. Therefore, the rest must be protons.

  • protons + 5 \ neutrons =9

Subtract the 5 neutrons from the overall mass number of 9.

  • protons = 9- 5 \ neutrons \\
  • protons=4

There are 4 protons, so the atomic number is also <u>4</u>. This atom is beryllium.

Answer:

C. 4

Explanation:

the mass is the number of neutrons and Protons. so if you have 5 neutrons that means the rest are Protons... and the number of Protons is the Atomic number meaning the Element number... Beryllium is the element :)

A certain gas is present in a 10.0 LL cylinder at 4.0 atmatm pressure. If the pressure is increased to 8.0 atmatm the volume of
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The gas obeys Boyle’s law and the value of k_i\&k_f both are equal to 40.0 atm L.

Explanation:

Initial volume of the gas = V_1=10.0 L

Initial pressure of the gas = P_1=4.0 atm

Final volume of the gas = V_2=5.0 L

Final pressure of the gas = P_2=8.0 atm

This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.  

PV=k

The equation given by this law is:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

P_1\propto \frac{1}{V_1}

P_1V_1=k_i

k_i=4.0 atm\times 10.0 L = 40.0 atm L

P_2\propto \frac{1}{V_2}

P_V_2=k_f

k_f=8.0 atm\times 5.0 L = 40.0 atm L

k_i=k_f=40.0 atm L

The gas in the cylinder is obeying Boyle's law.

The gas obeys Boyle’s law and the value of k_i\&k_f both are equal to 40.0 atm L.
