Explain why the element of an atom doesn't change if you remove or add electrons or neutrons

Answer:

If you could miraculously remove two neutrons from an atom's nucleus, the atomic number and electrical charge would stay unaltered. Because neutrons have no electrical charge, adding or removing them from the nucleus has no effect on the nucleus's electrical charge. It does, however, alter the nucleus's mass. Isotopes are formed by adding or subtracting neutrons from the nucleus.

Calculate the number of kilojoules to warm 125 g of iron from 23.5 °C to 78.0 °C.

insens350 [35]

Given:
Iron, 125 grams T
1 = 23.5 degrees Celsius, T2 = 78 degrees Celsius.

Required:
Heat produced in kilojoules

Solution:
The molar mass of iron is 55.8 grams per mole. SO we need to change the given mass of iron into moles.

Number of moles of iron = 125 g/(55.8 g/mol) = 2.24 moles
<span>
Q (heat) = nRT = nR(T2 = T1)</span>
Q (heat) = 2.24 moles (8.314 Joules per mol degrees Celsius) (78.0 degrees Celsius – 23.5 degrees Celsius)
<u>Q (heat) = 1014.97 Joules or 1.015 kilojoules</u> <span>This is the amount of heat produced in warming 125 g f iron.</span>

How many moles are there in 3.612 x 1024 formula units of Na2SO4?

vitfil [10]

Answer:

<h3>Theanswer is 6 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

$n = \frac{N}{L} \\$

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

$n = \frac{3.612 \times {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } \\$

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

The half-life of nitrogen-13 is 10.0 minutes. if you begin with 53.3 mg of this isotope, what mass remains after 25.9 minutes ha

zimovet [89]

Hello!

The half-life is the time of half-disintegration, it is the time in which half of the atoms of an isotope disintegrate.

We have the following data:

mo (initial mass) = 53.3 mg

m (final mass after time T) = ? (in mg)

x (number of periods elapsed) = ?

P (Half-life) = 10.0 minutes

T (Elapsed time for sample reduction) = 25.9 minutes

Let's find the number of periods elapsed (x), let us see:

$T = x*P$

$25.9 = x*10.0$

$25.9 = 10.0\:x$

$10.0\:x = 25.9$

$x = \dfrac{25.9}{10.0}$

$\boxed{x = 2.59}$

Now, let's find the final mass (m) of this isotope after the elapsed time, let's see:

$m = \dfrac{m_o}{2^x}$

$m = \dfrac{53.3}{2^{2.59}}$

$m \approx \dfrac{53.3}{6.021}$

$\boxed{\boxed{m \approx 8.85\:mg}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)

How was the structure of the atom discovered

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

read down below

Explanation:

Building on the Curies' work, the British physicist Ernest Rutherford (1871–1937) performed decisive experiments that led to the modern view of the structure of the atom. ... Because it was the first kind of radiation to be discovered, Rutherford called these substances α particles.
