Answer: See below
Explanation: a. The mass of an element is composed of:
protons: 1 amu each
neutrons: 1 amu each
electrons: 0 amu each
Only the protons and neutrons are counted in the atomic mass of an element
b. Electrons are assigned a mass of 0. They do have a mass, but it is exceedingly small compared to the protons and neutrons, so they are left out of the calculation of an element's mass.
c. An element becomes unstable if the neutrons exceed the protons by a certain ratio, dependent on the element.
Answer:
+1.03 V
Explanation:
The standard emf of the voltaic cell is the value of the standard potential of it, which is calculated by the standard reduction potential (E°).
The standard reduction potential is the potential needed for the reduction reaction happen, and it's determined by the reaction with the hydrogen cell (which has E° = 0.0V). The half-reactions of reduction of Ni⁺² and Ag⁺, are:
Ni⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻ → Ni(s) E° = -0.23 V
Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E° = +0.80 V
The value is calculated by a spontaneous reaction, in which the cell with the greater E° is reduced (gain electrons), and the other is oxidized (loses electrons). So, Ag⁺ reduces.
emf = E°reduces - E°oxides
emf = 0.80 - (-0.23)
emf = +1.03 V
It will sink below the surface. Since dish soap is a surfactant, it will alter the water's surface tension. Lowering the surface tension, the water will no longer be able to support the mass of the twig.
