If you put a piece of zinc into a solution of copper (I) sulfate and allow the single replacement reaction to go to completion,

Explanation:

Reaction of zinc metal in copper sulfate solution.

\begin{array}{ll}\text { Oxidation : } & \mathrm{Zn}(s) \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(a q)+2 e^{-}\\\text {Reduction : } & \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(a q)+2 e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}(s) \\\hline \text { Full Reaction : } & \mathrm{Zn}(s)+\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{Cu}(s)\end{array}

Zinc is listed above copper on the activity series, this means that zinc is more easily oxidized than copper. That is why copper(II) ions can act as an oxidizing agent when put into contact with zinc metal. Ions of any metal that is below zinc, such as lead or silver, would oxidize the zinc in a similar reaction.

Which of the following geological features can form at a subduction zone?
saw5 [17]

D

This feature is formed at destructive boundaries where the denser plate (usually the oceanic plate) is subducted underneath the less dense plate (usually the continental plate).

Explanation:

the stress in the boundary between the two plates causes them to warp at the boundary forming a trench. This forced bending and the friction between the two plates (remember tectonic plates are very rugged) causes fissures to develop at the boundary. As the denser plate dives into the mantle, it begins to melt and the molten rock rises through the fissures. The magma erupts at the surface in several fissures forming volcanic mountains ranges along the convergent boundary.

If your lawn is 21.0 ft wide and 20.0 ft long, and each square foot of lawn accumulates 1350 new snow flakes every minute. How m
GaryK [48]
<span>First we can calculate the area of the rectangular lawn using the formula:
Area = Width x Length = 21 ft x 20 ft = 420 square feet
       
And the total number of snow flakes per minute on the entire lawn is:
   
(1350 snowflakes per minute per square foot) x (420 square feet) = 567,000 snowflakes per minute
       
In one hour (or 60 minutes) we get a total of:
   
(567,000 snowflakes per minute) x (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 34,020,000 snowflakes
       
The total mass of which would be:
   
34,020,000 snowflakes x 1.60 mg = 54,432,000 mg = 54.432 kg (as 1 kg = 1,000,000 mg).
       
So 54.432 kg of snow accumulates every hour on the lawn.</span>

Consider the following isotopic symbol: 137Ba2+
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

a) 56 protons

b) 54 electrons

c) 81 neutrons

d) The sum of protons and neutrons is shown. The number of protons is always the same. So we can calculate the number of neutrons ( and also the isotopes)

e)137Ba (with 56 protons and 81 neutrons)

f) atomic mass is 136.9 u ; the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons and is 137

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

137 Ba2+ is an isotope of barium. The atomic number of barium( and its isotopes) is 56. This shows the number of protons.

For a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.

The different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.

137Ba2+ has 56 protons (this is the same as the atomic number)

137Ba2+ has 54 electrons ( since it's Ba2+, this means it has 2 electrons less than protons, that's why it's charged +2)

137Ba2+ has 81 neutrons ( 137 - 56 = 81)

In the symbol, the atomic number is not shown. The sum of the protons and neutrons is shown. (Since the number of protons is the same for every isotope, we can calculate the number of neutrons that way. By knowing the neutrons, we also know the isotope.

This isotope is 137Ba

Atomic mass is also known as atomic weight. The atomic mass is the weighted average mass of an atom of an element based on the relative natural abundance of that element's isotopes.

The atomic mass of 137Ba2+ is 136.9 u

The mass number is a count of the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.

The mass number of 137Ba2+ is 137
