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.

The rate constant for a certain reaction is k = 5.40×10−3 s−1 . If the initial reactant concentration was 0.100 M, what will the
IceJOKER [234]

Answer : The concentration after 17.0 minutes will be, 4.05\times 10^{-4}M

Explanation :

The expression for first order reaction is:

[C_t]=[C_o]e^{-kt}

where,

[C_t] = concentration at time 't'  (final) = ?

[C_o] = concentration at time '0' (initial) = 0.100 M

k = rate constant = 5.40\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}

t = time = 17.0 min = 1020 s (1 min = 60 s)

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

[C_t]=(0.100)\times e^{-(5.40\times 10^{-3})\times (1020)}

[C_t]=4.05\times 10^{-4}M

Thus, the concentration after 17.0 minutes will be, 4.05\times 10^{-4}M

Which element is most likely to gain electrons in a chemical reaction?
tatyana61 [14]
Option 2, Br. I'll go over why all other three options are incorrect.

Option 1 - Krypton is a Noble gas, and so it doesn't need to accept electrons since it has an octet.

Option 3 and 4 - Both Calcium and Barium are alkaline earth metals, and give away electrons, since they only have 2.
