Answer:

There would be 20 neutrons in that atom.

Explanation:

The mass number of an atom is the sum of:

  • the number of neutrons in this atom, and
  • the number of protons in this atom.

Electrons do not contribute to the mass number of an atom.

From the question:

  • Mass number of this atom: 39.
  • Number of protons in this atom: 19.

(\text{Mass Number}) = (\text{Number of protons}) + (\text{Number of neutrons}).

In this atom:

39 = 19 + (\text{Number of neutrons}).

Hence, the number of neutrons would be 39 - 19 = 20.

Answer:

I can use a dichotomous key. It helps me classify objects by sorting it out with "yes" and "no" questions.

or

I can use a Punnett Square. It helps me classify what genes the offspring will receive simply by figuring out the recessive and dominant genes as well as the hetzygous and homzygous.

Now give an example of which ever chart you choose by drawing it if that is required. For the Punnett Square label each of the squares Top right Hetzygous, top left dominant, bottom left recessive, bot-tom right homzygous. And for the dichotomous key put a 5-7 length branch showing the animals that have fur, can breathe under water, what cannot or doesn't have those traits. or something similar

Hopefully this helps :)

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The vapor pressure in solution is 0,0051 atm

Explanation:

This is the formula for vapor pressure lowering, the colligative property.

P vapor = Pressure sv pure . Xsv

Where Xsv is data.

Xsv means Molar fraction (moles solvent/total n° moles)

Vapor pressure of water, pure is 17.5 mmHg

P vapor = 0,0313 atm . 0163

P vapor in solution = 0,0051 atm

Molar fraction does not have units

A solution will have less vapor pressure than that observed in the pure solvent.
