Answer:

Strontium

Explanation:

To find the element, we need to know the atomic number. There is this rule in chemistry that says that the number of protons and the atomic number are the same. Since we know that there are 38 protons, the atomic number is also 38, leading us to Strontium. Sr -- element symbol.

The mass number is located below the element symbol on a periodic table. The mass number or the atomic mass for Strontium is 87.62 u.

Since there are an uneven amount of protons and electrons, let's subtract the number of electrons from the number of protons to find the difference. 38-36 = 2. (Also, protons are positive and electrons are negative, meaning there are more + than - in the ionic charge). Which means, the atom has a +2 ionic charge.

A sample of neon occupies a volume of 461 mL at 1 atm and 273 K. What will be the volume of the neon when the pressure is reduce

Softa [21]

Answer:

0.501 L

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use Boyle,s Law. According to this law "The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to applied pressure at constant temperature".

V∝ 1/P

V= K/P

VP=K

Here the K is proportionality constant.

so,

P1V1 = P2V2

P= pressure

V= volume

Given data:

P1= 1 atm

V1= 461 mL

P2= 0.92 atm

V2= ? (L)

To solve this problem we have to convert the mL into L first.

1 L = 1000 mL

461/1000= 0.461 L

Now we will put the values in the equation,

P1V1 = P2V2

V2= P1V1/ P2

V2= 1 atm × 0.461 L / 0.92 atm

V2= 0.501 L

Electromagnetic waves can transfer with or without blank

velikii [3]

Answer:

Molecules

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are not like sound waves because they do not need molecules to travel. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel through air, solid objects and even space.

Which of the following is the best name for a compound made from nitrogen and oxygen? (N2O3) nitrogen oxide nitrogen II oxide ni

sergejj [24]

The best name for the compound is DINITROGEN TRIOXIDE.

Each chemical compound is always represented by a chemical symbol, which shows the ratio at which each atom of the elements of the compound are combine together and this is often used in naming the compound. Looking at the compound given in the question, the compound is made up of two atoms of nitrogen and three atoms of oxygen and this fact was used in naming the compound. In naming chemical compounds, 'Di' stands for 2 while 'Tri' stands for 3. Since there are two nitrogen and three oxygen atoms in the compound, that was why it was named dinitrogen trioxide.

Explain how the heat and phase changes affects the environment? Give examples.<br>(5-7 sentences)

NeX [460]

Energy is required to change the phase of a substance, such as the energy to break the bonds between molecules in a block of ice so it may melt.
During a phase change energy my be added or subtracted from a system, but the temperature will not change. The temperature will change only when the phase change has completed. No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings. Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart so that the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature.

Calculate the masses of oxygen and nitrogen that are dissolved in of aqueous solution in equilibrium with air at 25 °C and 760 T

shtirl [24]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the volume of given aqueous solution is 7.5 L.

Therefore, according to Henry's law, the relation between concentration and pressure is as follows.

C = $\frac{P}{K_{h}}$
