Answer: There are 8 protons in oxygen-18 and 36 neutrons in copper-65.

Explanation:

An atom contains three sub-atomic particles, that is, protons, neutrons and electrons.

The atomic number is the total number of protons present in an atom. For oxygen-18, the atomic mass is 18.

Atomic mass is the sum of total number of protons and electrons present in an atom. As the atomic number of an oxygen atom is 8 so the number of protons present in oxygen-18 is 8.

The atomic mass of copper is 65 and for a copper atom, the atomic number is 29. Hence, the number of neutrons for copper-65 is as follows.

Atomic mass = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

65 = 29 + no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = 65 - 29 = 36

Thus, we can conclude that there are 8 protons in oxygen-18 and 36 neutrons in copper-65.

Provide a balanced molecular equation, total ionic, and net ionic equation for sodium phosphate and zinc acetate.
vivado [14]

Answer: Balanced molecular equation :

2Na_3PO_4(aq)+3(CH_3COO)_2Zn(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COONa(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)

Total ionic equation:

6Na^+(aq)+3PO_4^{2-}(aq)+6CH_3COO^-(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COO^-(aq)+6Na^+(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)  

The net ionic equation:

2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)

Explanation:

Complete ionic equation : In complete ionic equation, all the substances that are strong electrolyte are present in an aqueous state as ions.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.

When sodium phosphate and zinc acetate then it gives zinc phosphate and sodium acetate as  product.

The balanced molecular equation will be,

2Na_3PO_4(aq)+3(CH_3COO)_2Zn(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COONa(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)

The total ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,

6Na^+(aq)+2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+6CH_3COO^-(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 6CH_3COO^-(aq)+6Na^+(aq)+Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)

In this equation, and  are the spectator ions.

By removing the spectator ions from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation will be,

2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn_3(PO_4)_2(s)

Change 23 degrees Celsius to F
Fed [463]
Rewrite the formula C=5/9(F-32) substituting 23 for C: 23=5/9(F-32), then multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 5/9.
(9/5)*(23)=(9/5)*5/9(F-32)
41.4=F-32; add 32 to both sides.
41.4+32=F-32+32
73.4=F

1. What role does energy play in sound?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

1. Sound is a energy (mechanical)produced by vibrating objects and sound energy is movement of energy through particles.

2.Space occupied by the substance

3.<u>Propagation</u> of <u>Sound Wave</u> and <u>particles of the medium</u>

4.High-Frequency(Ultrasonic wave)

Explanation:

1.Sound is the form of energy which causes sensation of hearing to our ear.It is produce by vibrating objects. When the objects vibrate(to and fro motion) ,they pushes the particles of medium creating the region of high density called compression .When the particles moves backward ,they creates a region of low density called Rarefaction.This pattern repeats indefinitely.

2.Volume is the quantity of three dimensional space occupied by substances like solid,liquid and gases. The SI unit of volume is

m^{3}

In metric system unit of volume is liter

3. Longitudinal Waves: Waves in which displacement of the medium particles are parallel(in the same direction) to the propagation of wave.

Sound wave is longitudinal wave.Hence its particles moves in the same direction as the wave (energy)travel.

4.Frequency: The number of times sound wave passes a given point in one second.Its SI unit is Hertz(Hz).

Frequency of vibration decides the Pitch of the sound waves producing them.

A sound wave of High Pitch means it is oscillating rapidly(at high speed).These are also called Ultrasonic waves. These have frequency more than 20000 Hz. Human being can't hear ultrasonic waves.
