Answer:

72 protons

102 neutrons

72 electrons

Explanation:

Hf has an atomic number of 72. By definition, this means that it has 72 protons.

It also has a mass number of 178. The mass number (A) counts all elements with significant mass (protons and neutrons). Then,

A = p⁺ + n⁰

n⁰ = A - p⁺ = 178 - 72 = 102

Hf has 102 neutrons.

Elemental Hafnium is electrically neutral because it has the same amount of  positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons). Then, it must have 72 electrons.

How many seconds are there in two 24 hour days?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

86,400 seconds in a day.

Explanation:

There are 24 hrs in a day. So there are 2460 mins in a day. ( 1hr=60 mins) So there are 246060 seconds in a day. (1 min = 60 seconds) Therefore 86,400 seconds in a day.

I am having trouble converting :(
Elza [17]

Answer:

For the first question, to determine the total number of molecules of nitrogen dioxide, first make use of the molar mass of the nonpolar compound and then use that to find the total number of moles and then subsequently after make use of the ratio for the Avogadro's number to determine the total number of molecules of this compound.

For the final question, do the inverse, where we make use of the molecules of the compound and then use Avogadro's number to determine the moles of the compound and then use the same molar mass of the compound to determine the grams of the Nitrogen Dioxide.

You put two open cans of soda on the table. You took one can from the refrigerator and the other from your car. When you open th
jarptica [38.1K]
The soda can from the car will lose CO2 more quickly. This is because of the kinetic energy and behavior of gas molecules under different temperatures. CO2 is more soluble in cold temperatures than hot. Cold temperatures minimize the kinetic energy of gas molecules; thus, preventing the gas from escaping the soda. This is why soda that comes from the refrigerator has more fizz or spirit than soda at room temperature.
