Answer: 16 neutrons

Explanation: The atomic number for any element is the number of protons in its atomic nuclei. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons are the same as the number of protons. The atomic mass (mass number) is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Mass number can vary due to the fact that the number of neutrons can vary. Isotopes are named for their mass numbers.

So, this element has 15 protons (atomic number), 15 electrons, and 16 neutrons (mass number minus atomic number).

This isotope is phosphorus-31, which has atomic number 15.

What is the molarity of a solution containing 8.9 g of NaOH in 550. mL of NaOH solution?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

0.4 M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as moles of solute, which in your case is sodium hydroxide,  

NaOH

, divided by liters of solution.

molarity

=

moles of solute

liters of solution

Notice that the problem provides you with the volume of the solution, but that the volume is expressed in milliliters,  

mL

.

Moreover, you don't have the number of moles of sodium hydroxide, you just have the mass in grams. So, your strategy here will be to

determine how many moles of sodium hydroxide you have in that many grams

convert the volume of the solution from milliliters to liters

So, to get the number of moles of solute, use sodium hydroxide's molar mass, which tells you what the mass of one mole of sodium hydroxide is.

g

⋅

1 mole NaOH

40.0

g

=

0.175 moles NaOH

The volume of the solution in liters will be

500

mL

⋅

1 L

1000

mL

=

0.5 L

Therefore, the molarity of the solution will be

c

=

V

c

=

0.175 moles

0.5 L

=

0.35 M

Rounded to one sig fig, the answer will be

c

=

0.4 M

What is an atomic weight?
S_A_V [24]
The average weight of an atom of an element, formerly based on the weight of one hydrogen atom taken as a unit or on 1/16 (0.0625) the weight of an oxygen atom, but after 1961 based on 1/12 the weight of the carbon-12 atom.

14.2 grams of Na2SO4 is dissolved in water to make a 2.50 L
Trava [24]

Answer:

0.04 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Na₂SO₄= 14.2 g

Volume of solution = 2.50 L

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of Na₂SO₄:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 14.2 g/ 142.04 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.1 mol

Molarity :

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in L

Molarity = 0.1 mol / 2.50 L

Molarity = 0.04 M

Define the term inertia
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Enertia is an integral part of Newton's first law of motion.

It is the tendency of an object to <u>stay at rest</u> or <u>to continue moving</u> until and unless <u>any external unbalanced force</u>, (like, applied force or force of tension or frictional force ) is applied to either move it from rest or change its speed(in other words, accelerate it!!).

Example below, is of ball at rest (fig1) and if this ball is moving straight on a frictionless surface(like ice) it will keep moving!! until, we push it or pull it.
