Answer:

the speed in light-year per second is 2.155 x 10⁻¹³ ly/s.

Explanation:

Given;

speed in miles per hour (mph), v = 76 mph

1 mile = 1.701 x 10⁻¹³ light-year (ly)

1 hour = 60 s

The speed in light-year per second is calculated as follows;

v = \frac{76 \ miles}{hour} \times \frac{1.701 \times 10^{-13} \ ly}{1 \ mile} \times \frac{1 \ hour}{60 \ s} = 2.155 \times 10^{-13} \ ly/s

Therefore, the speed in light-year per second is 2.155 x 10⁻¹³ ly/s.

What is the difference between the atomic number and the mass number of an element?
DedPeter [7]

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom in amu, or atomic mass units. Atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes

hope this helps :)

HEEEEELP ASAPP IM AWARDING 30 points!!!!
alexira [117]

Answer:

\rm S^{2-}.

Explanation:

Based on the electron configuration of this ion, count the number of electrons in this ion in total:

2 + (2 + 6) + (2 + 6) = 18.

Each electron has a charge of (-1).

Atoms are neutral and have 0 charge. However, when an atom gains one extra electron, it becomes an ion with a charge of (-1). Likewise, when that ion gains another electron, the charge on this ion would become (-2).

The ion in this question has a charge of (-2). In other words, this ion is formed after its corresponding atom gains two extra electrons. This ion has 18 electrons in total. Therefore, the atom would have initially contained 18 - 2 = 16 electrons. The atomic number of this atom would be 16.

Refer to a modern copy of the periodic table. The element with an atomic number of 16 is sulphur with atomic symbol \rm S. To denote the ion, place the charge written backwards ("2-" for a charge of (-2)) as the superscript of the atomic symbol:

\rm S^{2-}.

Naphthalene, commonly found in moth balls, is composed of 93.7% carbon and 6.3% hydrogen. The molar mass of naphthalene is 128 g
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Molecular formula naphthalene → C₁₀H₈

Empirical formula naphthalene → C₅H₄

Explanation:

Centesimal composition means that in 100 g of compound we have x g of the element. Therefore in 100 g of naphthalene we have:

93.7 g of C

6.3 g of H

Let's make a rule of three:

In 100 g of naphthalene we have 93.7 g of C  and 6.3 g of H

In 128 g of naphthalene we would have:

128 . 93.7 / 100 = 120 g of C

128.  6.3 / 100 = 8 g of H

We convert the mass to moles, by molar mass:

120 g . 1mol / 12 g = 10 moles C

8 g . 1mol/ 1g = 8 moles H

Molecular formula naphthalene → C₁₀H₈

Empirical formula naphthalene → C₅H₄

(The sub-index of each element is divided by the largest possible number)

Bond [772]

Answer:

Explanation:

The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which its melt. The state of a substance is dependent on it's melting temperature. Generally, melting point above 25 °C is a solid.

This means phenol is a solid

Duodecane has melting point below 25 °C hence it is either a liquid or gas. However its boiling point of 216 °C means it would require higher temperature to boil it. Since 25 °C is less than 216 °C it means that it would remain in the liquid state.

Methane has melting point below 25 °C hence it is either a liquid or gas. However its boiling point of -164 °C means it boils easily even at very low temperatures. Since 25 °C is greater than -164 °C it means that it would exist in the gaseous state
