Answer:

number of protons: 94
number of neutrons: 145

  239
       Pu
   94

Explanation:

1) The atomic number, Z, of plutonium is Z = 94, i.e plutonium 94 protons

2) Plutoniun-239 is the isotope with mass number 239.

3) Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons =>

number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons = 239 - 94 = 145

4) The notation requires that you indicate the symbol of the element with the atomic number (number of protons) and the mass number.

You put the mass number as a superscript at the left side of the symbol and the atomic number as subscript to the left of the symbol.

So, in this case the symbol is Pu, the superscript to the left is 239 and the subscript to the left is 94.

  239
       Pu
   94

2) If I have an unknown quantity (# of moles) of gas at a pressure of 32 atm, a volume of 70 L, and a temperature of 25˚C. How m
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

91.5 mol

Explanation:

Volume of gas = 70 L

Temperature = 25°C

Pressure = 32 atm

Moles of gas  = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will convert the temperature.

25+273.15 = 298.15 K

By putting values,

32 atm × 70 L = n ×0.0821 atm.L /mol.K × 298.15 K

2240 atm.L = n ×24.48 atm.L /mol

n = 2240 atm.L / 24.48  atm.L /mol  

n = 91.5 mol

How much Pb(NO3)2 would need to be added to 100 mL of water to make a saturated solution at 40°C.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

70g of Pb(NO3)2 would need to be added

Explanation:

As you can see in the solubility graph of lead nitrate, Pb(NO₃)₂, the solubility of this salt (That is, the maximum amount of the salt that can be dissolved in 100g of the solvent producing a homogeneous solution) is 70g in 100g of water = 70g of the salt in 100mL of water.

A saturated solution is also defined as solubility: The maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a solvent.

That means:

70g of Pb(NO3)2 would need to be added
