The number with a lower value is the number of protons and the number with a higher value is the mass

There are usually two values you'll come across on the periodic table.

1. the atomic number.
this represents the number of protons an element has. For example, hydrogen (H) has an atomic number of 1, which means that hydrogen has only one proton.

2. the mass number.
this usually represents the number of protons and neutrons an element has. For example, carbon (C) has a mass number of roughly 12, which means that the sum of its protons and neutrons add up to about 12. We know carbon has an atomic number of 6 (6 protons) so the number of neutrons must be 6 aswell.

(the mass numbers can differ depending on which periodic table you are given)

WHAT MASS OF WATER WILL BE PRODUCED FROM 2.70 MOLES OF CA(OH)2 REACTING WITH HCI
Keith_Richards [23]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of water produced in the reaction is 97.2 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of calcium hydroxide = 2.70 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium hydroxide and HCl follows:

Ca(OH)_2+HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+2H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium hydroxide produces 2 moles of water

So, 2.70 moles of calcium hydroxide will produce = \frac{2}{1}\times 2.70=5.40mol of HCl

To calculate mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 5.40 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5.40mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(5.40mol\times 18g/mol)=97.2g

Hence, the mass of water produced in the reaction is 97.2 grams

Explain the effects that different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when absorbed by matter.
Neko [114]
In order to answer this question we might first want to think about what is electromagnetic radiation. In essence it’s light, just some of the wavelengths are too long or too short for us to see.

We can think about it as two oscillating sinusoidal (goes up and down) waves, one is electric, the other is magnetic.

Because we’re dealing in waves, that means we can calculate their frequency, wavelength, amplitude (brightness) and period.

To calculate it we can use E=hc/lambda
Where E = jewels of energy
h = Planck’s constant
c = speed of light
Lambda = wavelength

It doesn’t really matter for this question what those things mean, just note that it takes more energy to have a shorter wavelength, or less energy to have a longer wavelength.

So now we can answer the question. Light of a longer wavelength has less energy than that of a shorter wavelength. So, when long wavelengths are absorbed by matter (atoms) they will give those atoms less energy. So, either it will pass through the object entirely or it will make the atoms vibrate a little bit more than they already are and we call that thermal energy, or heat.

If high energy wavelengths are passing through matter then they will be giving those atoms a lot of energy, sometimes even ionizing the atoms.
Which, if you’re a living thing can be very bad for your cells.

I hope that helps.

There is enough energy in air at room temperature to change some
Pavel [41]

Answer:

hi

Explanation:

There is enough energy in air at room temperature to change some liquids to gases. The temperature of ice water is lower than the temperature of dry ice in alcohol. Carbon dioxide can change directly from the solid phase to the gaseous phase. ... Absolute zero is the temperature at which there is no molecular motion.

Answer: True
