In the PhET simulation, make sure that the checkbox Stable/Unstable in the bottom right is checked. Using the PhET simulation as

a reference, determine whether the following combinations of protons and neutrons form stable or unstable nuclei by adding protons and neutrons to the nucleus. Unstable nuclei will shake. If the Stable/Unstable checkbox in the lower right is also checked, the nuclei will be labeled Stable or Unstable. Sort the following combinations of protons and neutrons according to whether or not they form stable or unstable nuclei.
a. 4 protons and 5 neutrons
b. 7 protons and 7 neutrons
c. 2 protons and 3 neutrons
d. 3 protons and 0 neutrons
e. 6 protons and 5 neutrons
f. 9 protons and 9 neutrons
g. 8 protons and 7 neutrons
h. 1 proton and 0 neutrons

Answer:

kindly check the EXPLANATION SECTION

Explanation:

In order to be able to answer this question one has to consider the neutron proton ratio. Considering this ratio will allow us to determine the stability of a nuclei. The most important rule that helps us in determination of stability is that when the Neutron- Proton ratio  of any nuclei ranges from  to 1 to 1.5, then we say the nuclei is STABLE.

Also, we need to understand that when the  Neutron- Proton ratio is LESS THAN 1 or GREATER THYAN 1.5, then we say the nuclei is UNSTABLE.

So, let us check which is stable and which is unstable:

a. 4 protons and 5 neutrons =  Neutron- proton ratio = N/P = 5/4= stable.

b. 7 protons and 7 neutrons  =  Neutron- proton ratio = N/P = 7/7= 1 = stable.

c. 2 protons and 3 neutrons  =  Neutron- proton ratio = N/P = 3/5 =0.6 =unstable.

d. 3 protons and 0 neutrons  =  Neutron- proton ratio = N/P = 0/3= 0= unstable.

e. 6 protons and 5 neutrons  =  Neutron- proton ratio = N/P = 5/6= 0.83 = unstable.

f. 9 protons and 9 neutrons  =  Neutron- proton ratio = N/P = 9/9 = 1 = stable.

g. 8 protons and 7 neutrons  =  Neutron- proton ratio = N/P =  7/8 =0.875 = unstable.

h. 1 proton and 0 neutrons =  Neutron- proton ratio = N/P = 0/1 =0 = unstable

Complete combustion of a compound containing hydrogen and carbon produced 2.641 g of carbon dioxide and 1.442 grams of water as
klio [65]

  The empirical   formula  of hydrocarbon is C₃H₈

The  molecular formula of hydrocarbon   is C₆H₁₆


<u><em> Empirical  formula  calculation</em></u>

Hydrocarbon  contain  carbon and hydrogen

  Step 1:  find the  mass  carbon (C) in carbon dioxide (CO₂)  and hydrogen (H )  in water

mass of  of element = molar mass  of element/ molar mass molecule x total mass of    molecule

From periodic table the molar mass  of C =12,    for CO₂ = 12+( 16 x2) =44 g/mol,     for H = 1.00 g/mol,    for H₂O = (2 x1)+16 = 18 g/mol

mass of C = 12/44 x 2.641 =0.7203 g

since there are 2 atom  of H in H₂O the molar mass of H = 1 x2 = 2 g/mol

mass of H  is therefore =  2/18 x 1.442 =0.1602 g


Step 2:  find the moles of C and H

moles = mass÷ molar mass

moles of C = 0.7203 g÷ 12 g/mol = 0.060  moles

moles of H  =  0.1602÷ 1 g/mol = 0.1602 moles


Step 3: find the mole ratio  of C and H by dividing  each  mole by smallest mole ( 0.06)

for C = 0.06/0.06 =1

  For H = 0.1602/0.06 =2.67

multiply   by 3  to remove the decimal

For C = 1 x3 =3

For H = 2.67 x3 =8

therefore the empirical formula = C₃H₈


<u><em>The molecular formula calculation</em></u>

[C₃H₈]n  = 88.1 g/mol

[12 x 3)+( 1 x8)]n =88.1 g/mol

44 n = 88.1

divide both side by 44

n=2

therefore [C₃H₈]₂   = C₆H₁₆

vitfil [10]
<span>The density of an iceberg is less than that of water and that is why it floats. It is the same as ice cubes floating on water too. Water is a very unique substance in that it is one of few compounds where cooling it past freezing point decreases its density (study hydrogen bonds). The possible answers are therefore A or C. If the majority of the ice is below the water then it should be clear from common sense that A is the correct answer as it would mostly float on the top with just a little under the surface if the answer were as low as C. See Archimedes Principle for an explanation of how much of the ice floats and how much is underwater.</span>

create a flowchart that outlines when to use dimensional analysis and when to use scientific notation.
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

  see attached

Explanation:

Dimensional analysis is useful whenever dimensions are involved. Unless it is quite clear that all of the problem dimensions are consistent (for example, all speeds in miles per hour, or all angles in degrees), dimensional analysis can be useful for keeping the math straight.

Only units of the same dimensions can be added or subtracted. When numbers are multiplied or divided or raised to a power, dimensional analysis can help ensure that the appropriate operations are being used on appropriate numbers. It can also help ensure that dimensions are being combined properly to give appropriate derived dimensions.

__

Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers compactly. It can also help with "order of magnitude" estimates. If an answer using SI prefixes is appropriate, or if a number can be conveniently expressed in standard form, then scientific notation is usually not required.

On the other hand, SI prefixes may not be appropriate in some cases, or a problem may specify that scientific notation be used for expressing results. In those instances, scientific notation should be used.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

No.

Las propiedades físicas de los materiales y sistemas a menudo se pueden clasificar como intensivas o extensivas, según cómo cambia la propiedad cuando cambia el tamaño (o extensión) del sistema. Según la IUPAC, una cantidad intensiva es aquella cuya magnitud es independiente del tamaño del sistema, mientras que una cantidad extensiva es aquella cuya magnitud es aditiva para los subsistemas. Esto refleja las ideas matemáticas correspondientes de media y medida, respectivamente.

Una propiedad intensiva es una propiedad a granel, lo que significa que es una propiedad física local de un sistema que no depende del tamaño del sistema o de la cantidad de material en el sistema. Los ejemplos de propiedades intensivas incluyen temperatura, T; índice de refracción, n; densidad, ρ; y dureza de un objeto.

Por el contrario, propiedades extensivas como la masa, el volumen y la entropía de los sistemas son aditivas para los subsistemas porque aumentan y disminuyen a medida que crecen y se reducen, respectivamente.  

Estas dos categorías no son exhaustivas, ya que algunas propiedades, físicas no son exclusivamente intensivas ni extensivas. Por ejemplo, la impedancia eléctrica de dos subsistemas es aditiva cuando, y solo cuando, se combinan en serie; mientras que si se combinan en paralelo, la impedancia resultante es menor que la de cualquiera de los subsistemas.

¡Espero haberte ayudado!  :)
