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.

• Take a look at the steps below to see how to balance this equation. Let's start by writing the unbalanced equation given the information.

Unbalanced Equation : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g) ,

Start by Balancing the Carbons : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)

Now let's balance the Hydrogen : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

Balancing the Oxygen : C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

Balanced Equation : C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

• Let's apply dimensional analysis here,

0.7 L propane × (5 liters Oxygen / 1 liter Propane) = 3.5 Liters of Oxygen

•  Similarly we can identify the liters of carbon dioxide produced in the reaction,

0.7 L propane × (3 liters Carbon Dioxide / 1 liter Propane) = 2.1 Liters of Carbon Dioxide

• 0.7 L propane × (4 liter water vapor / 1 liter propane ) = 2.8 Liters of Water Vapor

Answer:

As you cool a matter to absolute zero, their kinetic energy reduces significantly and the molecules slows down and begins to aggregate together. ... As heat is added, the molecules gain more kinetic energy. This shown in their increase motion. When heat is withdrawn, the particles slows down hope this helped
