A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom. For example, the element hydrogen is made from atoms containing just one proton and one electron.

Minchanka [31]

I didn't know if you meant to the power of 14 but if you did here your answer:
3.64 x 10^-19
(you just multiply the frequency by Planck's constant= 6.63 × 10^–34)

820 g Li2SO4 is dissolved into 2500 mL of solution. What is the molar concentration?

Andreas93 [3]

Molarity is defined as the moles of solute per liter of solution. $M=\frac{n}{V}$ . Where M is molarity, n is the number of moles and V is the volume. First we must find the molar mass of $Li_2SO_4$ which is 109.98 g/mol

$Li_2SO_4= 2 \times Li_{Ar} + S_{Ar} + 4 \times O_{Ar}\\= (2 \times 6.941 + 32.1 + 4 \times 16.0) = 109.98 g/mol$

$820\ g\ Li_2SO_4 \times \frac{mol}{109.98\ g}= 7.46\ mol\ Li_2SO4$

Then we find the molarity using above equation

$M= \frac{n}{V} = \frac{7.46 mol}{2500ml} \times\frac{1000ml}{L} = 2.98\ M$

The half life for the first order conversion of A to B is 56.6 hours. How long does it take for the concentration of A to decrea

sveta [45]

Answer:

It will take 188.06 hours for the concentration of A to decrease 10.0% of its original concentration.

Explanation:

A → B

Initial concentration of the reactant = x

Final concentration of reactant = 10% of x = 0.1 x

Time taken by the sample, t = ?

Formula used :

$A=A_o\times e^{-\lambda t}\\\\\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$

where,

$A_o$ = initial concentration of reactant

A = concentration of reactant left after the time, (t)

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ = half life of the first order conversion = 56.6 hour

$\lambda$ = rate constant

$A=A_o\times e^{-(\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}})\times t}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$0.1x=x\times e^{-(\frac{0.693}{56.6 hour})\times t}$

t = 188.06 hour

It will take 188.06 hours for the concentration of A to decrease 10.0% of its original concentration.

The volume of a sample gas, initially at 25 C and 158 mL, increased to 450 mL. What is the final temperature of the sample of ga

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Final temperature of the gas is 576 $^{0}\textrm{C}$ .

Explanation:

As the amount of gas and pressure of the gas remains constant therefore in accordance with Charles's law:

$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

where $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ are volume of gas at $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ temperature (in kelvin scale) respectively.

Here $V_{1}=158mL$ , $T_{1}=(273+25)K=298K$ and $V_{2}=450mL$

So $T_{2}=\frac{V_{2}T_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{(450mL)\times (298K)}{(158mL)}=849K$

849 K = (849-273) $^{0}\textrm{C}$ = 576 $^{0}\textrm{C}$

So final temperature of the gas is 576 $^{0}\textrm{C}$ .

A nonmetal

mars1129 [50]

$^{16}_{\phantom{1}8}\text{O}$ .

Oxygen-16 is the atom in question.

Atomic number: 8.
Mass number: 16.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The superscript of the ion says "2-". That means that the ion here carries a charge of -2.

The charge is negative, meaning that there are more electrons (which are negative) than protons (which are positive) in that ion.
The size of the charge is 2. There are two more electrons than protons in that ion.

There are 10 electrons in total in that ion. There are two more electrons than protons. That means that there are 10 - 2 = 8 protons in that ion.

The atomic number of an atom is the same as its number of protons. The atomic number of X is 8.

The atomic number determines the element. Atomic number 8 is oxygen. Thus element X is oxygen.

Mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons in an atom. 8 + 8 = 16 for this atom.
