Define mass number

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ganezh [65]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

protons plus neutrons

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons.

The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

while the number of protons or number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Which event is most likely an example of a chemical reaction
Inessa [10]

Explanation:

One example of a chemical reaction is the rusting of a steel garbage can. That rusting happens because the iron (Fe) in the metal combines with oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere. Chemical bonds are created and destroyed to finally make iron oxide (Fe2O3).

Calculate the pressure of 3.2 moles of an ideal gas that occupies a volume of 87 m3 at a temperature of 312 K.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

                  P  =  0.0009417 atm

Or,

                 P  =  9.417 × 10⁻⁴ atm

Or,

                  P  =  0.0954157 kPa

Or,

                  P  =  0.715677 mmHg (Torr)

Explanation:

Data Given:

                 Moles  =  n  =  3.2 mol

                 Temperature  =  T  =  312 K

                  Pressure  =  P  =  ?

                  Volume  =  V  =  87 m³ = 87000 L

Formula Used:

Let's assume that the gas is acting as an Ideal gas, the according to Ideal Gas Equation,

                  P V  =  n R T

where;  R  =  Universal Gas Constant  =  0.082057 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹

Solving Equation for P,

                  P  =  n R T / V

Putting Values,

                  P  =  (3.2 mol × 0.082057 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 312 K) ÷ 87000 L

                  P  =  0.0009417 atm

Or,

                 P  =  9.417 × 10⁻⁴ atm

Or,

                  P  =  0.0954157 kPa

Or,

                  P  =  0.715677 mmHg (Torr)
