ration with numbers, letters, and superscripts?
A.when the aim is to use less space
B.when the aim is to show electron spins

The answer is <span>D.when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells. This is because there are some instances when elements don't possess a regular or normal electron configuration. There are those who have special electron configurations wherein a lower subshell isn't completely filled before occupying a higher subshell. It is best to visualize such cases using the orbital notation.</span>

An atom of 125Sn has a mass of 124.907785 amu. Calculate the binding energy in MeV per atom. Use the masses: mass of 1H atom = 1
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

1.06×10³ MeV/atom

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Also, atomic number of Sn = 5 0

Thus, the number of protons = 50

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

125 =  50 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 75

Mass of neutron = 1.008665 amu

Mass of proton = 1.007825 amu

Calculated mass = Number of protons*Mass of proton + Number of neutrons*Mass of neutron

Thus,  

Calculated mass = (50*1.007825 + 75*1.008665) amu = 126.041125 amu

Given mass = 124.907785 amu

<u>Mass defect = Δm = |126.041125 - 124.907785| amu = 1.13334 amu </u>

The conversion of amu to MeV is shown below as:-

1 amu = 931.5 MeV

<u>So, Energy = 1.13334*931.5 MeV/atom = 1.06×10³ MeV/atom</u>

Which statement is true in comparison to a weak acid, a strong acid
Allushta [10]

Answer: Strong acid vs weak acid

Strong acids and strong bases refer to species that completely dissociate to form ions in solution.

Explanation: By contrast, weak acids and bases ionize only partially, and the ionization reaction is reversible. Thus, weak acid and base solutions contain multiple charged and uncharged species in dynamic equilibrium.

How many grams of carbonic acid were produced by the 3.00 g sample of NaHCO
stellarik [79]
I think the given is 3 g sample of NaHCO3. then if it will be reacted with an acid, it will produce H2CO3.
 so the reaction NaHCO3 + HCl --> NaCl + H2CO3

mas of H2CO3 = 3 g NaHCO3 ( 1 mol NaHCO3 / 84 g ) ( 1 mol H2CO3 / 1 mol NaHCO3) ( 62.03 g / 1 mol )
mass of H2CO3 = 2.22 g H2CO3

Calculate the silver ion concentration in a saturated solution of silver(i) sulfate (ksp = 1.4 × 10–5).
deff fn [24]

Answer:

= 0.030 M

Explanation:

We can take x to be the concentration in mol/L of Ag2SO4 that dissolves  

Therefore;  concentration of  Ag+ is 2x mol/L and that of SO4^2- x mol/L.

Ksp = 1.4 x 10^-5

Ksp = [Ag+]^2 [SO42-]

      = (2x)^2(x)

      = 4x^3  

Thus;

4x^3  = 1.4 x 10^-5

         = 0.015 M

molar solubility = 0.015 M

But;

[Ag+]= 2x

Hence; silver ion concentration is

= 2 x 0.015 M

= 0.030 M

On the table below, record your observations before and after the interactions and note if mass was conserved. Describe the chan
lilavasa [31]

Steel Wool + Oxygen (Fire)  The steel wool is a grayish color and has a rough surface. Oxygen is transparent  It looks like a powder, and like if it was rusted steel wool but then broken apart and turned into a powder  Well Iron oxide is 7 grams and steel wool combined is 7 grams so you can say that the mass was conserved  Yes, this is a chemical change because the steel wool rusted and rust is a chemical change, so iron oxide is cause because if a physical change.

Egg + Heat  The egg has a yellow yolk in the middle while there is some type of liquid at the border of the yolk, but it is clear, the heat is hot but transparent  The egg turned into a delicious food called an omelet what was yolk staid as a liquid but got a tad harder, but the transparent border around it turned white  It was conserved because the eggshell was 4 grams and the fried egg is 41 grams  It is a chemical change because it results in the formation of new particles, and the chemical bonds break up and new ones are formed.

Water + Heat  The water is a clear liquid, while the heat is very hot but transparent  The water turned into a type of oxygen -Water Vapor-   If 5 g of water becomes a gas it becomes 5 g of water vapor. The mass of the liquid water is simply transferred into the mass of the newly formed water vapor.  There was no chemical reaction because the water vapor can be turned back to water also it just changed from a liquid to a gas and did not change its composition  

Zinc + Hydrogen Chloride  Zinc: a white/silver metallic solid. Hydrogen chloride (dilute hydroelectric acid) a transparent, colorless liquid with a very low pH (acidic). Zinc "dissolved" in hydrogen chloride, while emitting a colorless gas.  The liquid remains a colorless liquid, possibly still having a low pH from the unused acid. The colorless gas collected in a test tube gives a popping sound when ignited with a burning wooden splint, so it is not air embedded in the zinc, nor dissolved in hydroelectric acid.  Well although the zinc chloride is 12 grams and not 15 the gas that was released was 3 grams and as we all know 3 + 12 is 15 so you could say that the mass was conserved The production of a new substance (most probably hydrogen) from the reaction of the two reactants. When a few drops of the liquid product are evaporated on a watch glass, a white residue is left.  When a few drops of the liquid hydroelectric acid are evaporated on a watch glass, there is no residue. This proves that a new product (hydrogen gas), (white powder, zinc chloride) is produced instead of zinc being physically dissolved in hydroelectric acid.

Sodium Hydroxide + Copper Sulfate  Sodium hydroxide is a turbid solution and copper sulfate is in form of bright blue crystals. When their solutions are mixed with each other, a pale blue precipitate of basic copper hydroxide & a solution of neutral salt sodium sulfate will be formed. The sodium hydroxide and the copper sulfate combined make a total of 67 grams and the product  is split because the sodium sulfate is 47 grams and the copper hydroxide is 20 grams but all together it is still 67 grams so you could say that the mass was conserved The proof of the reaction is the appearance of pale blue precipitates of basic copper hydroxide & a solution of neutral salt sodium sulfate.
