•The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:
B) 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

) Experimental evidence indicates that the nucleus of an atom
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

A (contains most of the mass of the atom)

Evidence has it that a proton is about 2000 times as massive as an electron.

And there is usually multiple protons and neutrons in the nucleus

From what I just said, you can say that B is wrong

C however is also wrong because protons have a +charge and neutrons are neutrle which means you always have a charge > (greater than) 0

And D is wrong because electrons (which are not in the nucleus) have a neg charge. and protons have a + charge and are in the nucleus

So your answer is A

Hope it helped

A cylinder with a moveable piston contains 0.552 mol of gas and has a volume of 259 mL . Part A What will its volume be if an ad
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The new volume will be 367mL

Explanation:

Using PV = nRT

V1 = 259mL = 0.000259L

n1 = 0.552moles

At constant temperature and pressure, the value is

P * 0.000259 = 0.552 * RT ------equation 1

= 0.552 / 0.000259

= 2131.274

V2 = ?

n2 = 0.552 + 0.232

n2 = 0.784mole

Using ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P * V2 = 0.784 * RT ---------- equation 2

Combining equations 1 and 2 we have;

V2 = 0.784 / 2131.274

V2 = 0.000367L

V2 = 367mL

For the overall reaction below, which of the following is the correctly written rate law? Overall reaction: O3(g)+2NO2(g)→N2O5(g
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: Rate=k[O_3][NO_2]^2

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

O_3(g)+NO_2(g)\rightarrow NO_3(g)+O_2(g)   slow

NO_3(g)+NO_2(g)\rightarrow N_2O_5(g)   fast

To determine the net chemical equation, we will simply add the above two equations, we get:

O_3(g)+2NO_2(g)\rightarrow N_2O_5(g)+O_2(g)

Rate=k[O_3][NO_2]^2

Order with respect to O_3 is 1 and Order with respect to NO_2 is 2.

Thus the rate law will be:  Rate=k[O_3][NO_2]^2
