The number of protons in an atoms determines the atoms identity. Electrons determine the electrical charge.
mihalych1998 [28]3 years ago

Answer:

The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom's identity, and the number of electrons determines its electrical charge. The atomic number tells you the number of protons in one atom of an element. It also tells you the number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element.

A gas starts out with a volume of 114 liters and temperature of 273 K. The volume then increases to 216 liters. If the pressure
Yuri [45]

Answer:

517.3 K

Explanation:

Initial volume of gas V1= 114 L

Initial temp. T1= 273 K

Final volume V2= 216 L

Final temp. T2= ?

From Charles law, Volume is directly proportional to temperature provided pressure is kept constant

V1/T1 = V2/T2

T2 = V2T1/V1

T2 = (216×273)/114

T2 = 517.3 K

A certain FM radio wave has a frequency of 1.31 x 108 Hz. Given that radio waves travel at
Westkost [7]

Answer:

2.28 m

Explanation:

Use the relationship  

λ=vf

 

to solve for wavelength λ. Substituting the known quantities yields:

λ=vf

 

λ=2.99 x 108 m/s1.31 x 108 Hz

 

λ=2.28 m

Be sure to answer all parts. Plutonium−242 decays to uranium−238 by emission of an α particle with an energy of 4.853 MeV. The 2
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

(a)²⁴²₉₄Pu ⇒ ⁴₂He + ²³⁸₉₂U ⇒ ²³⁸₉₂U + ⁰₀γ

(b) 4.898 MeV

Explanation:

In the nuclear reaction, it was stated that plutonium-242 decayed firstly to uranium-238 and alpha, and lastly to a stable uranium-238 by emitting a gamma ray. The balanced equation for the nuclear reactions is shown below:

(a)²⁴²₉₄Pu ⇒ ⁴₂He + ²³⁸₉₂U ⇒ ²³⁸₉₂U + ⁰₀γ

(b) The energy emitted by releasing a gamma ray is calculated using:

E = hc/λ

where

h = 4.136*10^-15 eV.s

c = 299792458 m/s

λ = 0.02757 nm = 0.02757*10^-9 m

Therefore:

E = (4.136*10^-15)*(299792458)/0.02757*10^-9 = 44974.31 eV

The total energy if the stable 238U was produced directly would be

4.853*10^6 + 44974.31 = 4.898 MeV

The following reaction occurs in a car’s catalytic converter.
blagie [28]

Answer:The correct answer is ;

The oxidation state of nitrogen in NO changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in CO changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

Explanation:

2NO(g)+2CO(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2CO_2(g)

In an oxidation recation addition of oxygen atom takes place or loss of electrons takes place.

In an reduction reaction removal of oxygen atom takes place or gain of electrons takes place.

In the given reaction , the nitrogen atom is present in +2 oxidation state in NO molecule and present in 0 oxidation state in N_2 molecule. Hence, nitrogen is getting reduced that is reduction reaction. NO is oxidizing agent

In the given reaction , the carbon atom is present in +2 oxidation state in CO molecule and present in +4 oxidation state in CO_2 molecule. Hence ,carbon is getting oxidized that is oxidation reaction. CO is a reducing agent.
