The mass number for an atom is numerically equal to which quantity

Chemistry
1 answer:
Misha Larkins [42]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The mass number of an atom is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons that it contains. In other words, the number of neutrons in an atom is its mass number minus its atomic number.

Explanation:

protons

The mass number of an atom is its total number of protons and neutrons. Atoms of different elements usually have different mass numbers , but they can be the same. For example, the mass number of argon atoms and calcium atoms can both be 40.

scandium47 has a half-life of 35s. suppose you have a 45g sample of scadium 47 how much of the sample remains unchanged after 14
Yuliya22 [10]

Via the half-life equation we have:

A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h} }

Where A is the amount initially and final amount after some time has passed, t is the time elapsed, h is the half life time and so:


A_{final}=45(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{140}{35}  = 2.8125g

Therefore there will be 2.8125 grams left after 140 seconds.

PRoblem 1: For which of the following activities might you want to hire a chemist?
Evgesh-ka [11]
1) B, Not 100% sure though

2)Building a rocket is a physical change technically its not changing its composition its just changing its appearance, the fuel for it causes a chemical change, there is an answer that is more clear, Grinding chalk into a fine powder only changes its shape which is a physical change.

For the reaction H2O) =H% + OH", if x moles of H and y moles of OH are formed K. is y A. *?/(1 – x) C. 1/xy D. xy ​
hjlf

Answer: Correct option is B)

The standard enthalpy change of formation of a compound is the enthalpy change which occurs when one mole of the compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions. The equation showing the standard enthalpy change of formation of water is

H

​ (g)⟶H

2                                                                   ↑

​ O(l)                                           1 mole of water formed.

∴   Enthalpy of formation is −X2kJ/mol.
