5. Can you determine the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom by looking at the element's average atomic mass and the at

omic number? Why or why not?

Answer:

No you can't

Explanation:

The atomic number is the amount of protons in element's nucleus, that's one reason why. The second reason is that the atomic mass is protons and neutrons combined, their estimated value, which doesn't show how much neutrons are in an element. It does show combined, but not specifically neutrons

What is chemical potential energy?
tigry1 [53]

Chemical potential energy: chemical potential of a species is energy that can be absorbed or released due to a change of the particle number of the given species, in a chemical reaction or phase transition

Gasoline used as kinetic energy: the various chemicals that make up gasoline contain a large amount of chemical potential energy that is released when the gasoline is burned in a controlled way in the engine of the car. The release of that energy does two things. Some of the potential energy is transformed into work, which is used to move the car

Dynamite used as kinetic energy: the dynamite being used was most likely made of nitroglycerin. Once the dynamite explodes from a percussion force (then breaking of weak bonds to releasing the raw atom) the energy is then converted to thermal, kinetic, and sound energy.

5. A sample of gas occupies 1.55 L at 27 degrees Celsius and 1.00 atm pressure. What will the volume be if the pressure is incre
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The volume will be 0.031 L

Explanation:

Since temperature is constant, Boyle's law is applied in this case.

Boyle's law States that at constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to it's pressure.

From this statement it was deduced that P1V1 = P2V2

From the question, P1 = 1atm, V1 = 1.55L, P2 = 50 atm and V2 is to be calculated.

V2 = P1V1/P2

= 1×1.55÷50

=0.031 L

Give the reason for the evaporation of the solution to dryness with 6 m hcl in the first procedure of the copper-arsenic group a
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<span>
Evaporation occurred between the reaction of the hydrochloric acid and the arsenic group because there is a formation of gas. A liquid is cooled if condensation exceeds evaporation. This is because the cooling of the liquid decreases the kinetic energy of the molecules. Their movement is being restricted by the colder temperature. The molecules tend to be closer with each other. Also, because of their restricted movement, the liquid may turn into solid due the colder temperature. An example of this is the cooling of liquid water by placing it into the refrigerator into solid water (ice).</span>

A mixture containing 20 mole % butane, 35 mole % pentane and rest
notka56 [123]

Answer:

2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the mass balance for each substance is given by:

Butane:z_bF=y_bD+x_bB\\\\Pentane: z_pF=y_pD+x_pB\\\\Hexane: z_hF=y_hD+x_hB

Whereas y accounts for the fractions at the outlet distillate and x for the fractions at the outlet bottoms. Moreover, with the 90 % recovery of butane, we can write:

0.9=\frac{y_bD}{z_bF}

So we can compute the product of the molar fraction of butane at the distillate by total distillate flow by assuming a 100-mol feed:

y_bD=0.9*z_bF=0.9*0.2*100mol=18mol

The total distillate flow:

y_bD=18mol\\\\D=\frac{18mol}{0.95} =18.95mol

And the total bottoms flow:

F=D+B\\\\B=F-D=100mol-18.95mol=81.05mol

Next, by using the mass balance of butane, we compute the molar fraction of butane at the bottoms:

x_b=\frac{z_bF-y_bD}{B} =\frac{0.2*100mol-18mol}{81.05} =0.025

Then, the molar fraction of pentane and hexane:

x_p=\frac{z_pF-y_pD}{B} =\frac{0.35*100mol-0.04*18.95mol}{81.05} =0.422

x_h=\frac{z_hF-y_hD}{B} =\frac{(1-0.2-0.35)*100mol-(1-0.95-0.04)*18.95mol}{81.05} =0.553

Therefore, the molar composition of the bottom product is 2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane.

NOTE: notice the result is independent of the value of the assumed feed, it means that no matter the basis, the compositions will be the same for the same recovery of butane at the feed, only the flows will change.

Regards.

According to the phase diagram for H₂O, what happens to the phases of
sergejj [24]

Answer:

"A", "water changes from a gas to a solid to a liquid", according to this phase diagram, at at 0°C, as pressure is increased from 0atm to 10atm.

Explanation:

The question asks what happens at 0°C, as pressure is increased from 0atm to 10atm.

According to the question, the temperature is held constant.  The pressure changes.  In the phase diagram, we find the temperature 0°C on the horizontal axis, and all points where the temperature are 0°C are along that vertical line.

Since the pressure starts at 0atm and increases to 10atm, we start at the bottom, and move upward along that line, to see what phases of matter the substance changes to.

At the bottom, it is initially in a "gas" phase.  As it moves up, it transitions to a "solid" phase.  Later, as it continues moving up, it changes again into a "liquid" phase.

Thus, the answer would be "A", "water changes from a gas to a solid to a liquid", according to this phase diagram, at at 0°C, as pressure is increased from 0atm to 10atm.
