The answer is 40.
We can solve this by finding out the number of protons, and neutrons. Atomic number of an element means the number of protons in that element. So, the atom has 30 protons if the atomic number is 30.
On the other hand, mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons, but not electrons, because they're too light comparing to the other 2. Therefore, we can simply solve the number of neutrons in the atom by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. 70 - 30 = 40.
Therfore, the number of neutrons is 40.
On the periodic table, the elements colored yellow, which generally border the stair -step line , are considered to be metalloids
Answer:
The top layer is the Aqueous layer, and the benzoic acid is contained in the non-aqueous layer/oil phase.
Explanation:
A separating funnel is a very important piece of laboratory glassware that is used to separate the components of liquid-liquid mixtures which are immiscible. This technique is used in the extraction of the components of mixtures.
The liquids separate into two phases. The separation is based on the differences in the liquids' densities, where the denser liquid settles below and the lower density liquid stays afloat. Liquids used for this kind of separation are usually different liquids, one is the aqueous layer and the other, a non-aqueous layer.
Partition coefficient or distribution coefficient is defined as the ratio of the concentrations of a compound in two immiscible solvents at equilibrium.
Organic solvents (except halogenated organic compounds) with densities greater than that of water i.e 1g/mL ( usually called the oil phase) settle at the bottom of the aqueous phase.
Benzoic acid. will settle at the bottom layer ( i.e the lower phase).
Answer:
Empirical formula = K₂SO₄
The name of the compound is Potassium tetraoxosulfate (vi)
Explanation:
Percentage composition of the elements:
Potassium = 44.82%
Sulfur = 18.39%
Oxygen = 36.79%
Mole ratio of the elements:
Potassium = 44.82/39 =1.15
Sulfur = 18.39/32 = 0.57
Oxygen = 36.79/16 = 2.29
Dividing by the smallest ratio in order to obtain the simplest ratio
Potassium = 1.15/0.57 =2
Sulfur = 0.57/0.57 = 1
Oxygen = 2.29/0.57 = 4
Therefore, the mole ratio of Potassium : Sulfur : Oxygen = 2:1:4
Empirical formula = K₂SO₄
The name of the compound is Potassium tetraoxosulfate (vi)
