Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Mass number is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom.

On the other hand, atomic number is only the total number of protons present  in an atom.

Also, when an atom is electrically neutral in nature then its number of protons equal to the number of electrons present in it.

For example, an electrically neutral atom of gallium has 31 electrons and 39 neutrons. This means that it also contains 31 protons.

Hence, mass number of gallium will be as follows.

                Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                                        = 31 + 39

                                        = 70

Thus, we can conclude that the mass number for an atom of gallium is 70.

If the atom is neutral (meaning, not charged) the number of electron is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of an atom is the sum of the number of proton and the number of neutrons. From the given above, the mass number of gallium is 31 + 39. The answer is letter D. 70.

Element X reacts with copper to form the compounds CuX and CuX2. In which group on the Periodic Table is element X found?
lapo4ka [179]
Cu has two possible charges: plus 1 and plus 2. Thus, when copper is combined with an anion (negatively charged ion), the anion carries a subscript of one or two. This is shown in the given, Moreover, the given shows copper carries a subscript only of one. This means the anion has an original charge of negative one. These elements belong to the halogen family (Group 17).

What is the ratio of the concentration of potassium ions to the concentration of carbonate ions in a 0.015 m solution of potassi
tia_tia [17]

The ratio of the concentration of potassium ions (K⁺) to the concentration of carbonate ions (CO₃²⁻) = 2: 1

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Stochiometry in Chemistry studies about chemical reactions mainly emphasizes quantitative, such as the calculation of volume, mass, amount, which is related to the number of actions, molecules, elements, etc.

Reaction equations are chemical formulations for reagents and product substances

Reaction coefficients are numbers in the chemical formula of substances involved in the reaction equation. Reaction coefficients are useful for balancing reagents and products.

The reaction coefficient shows the ratio of the number of moles or molecules of the reacting substance

The ionization reaction is the reaction of the decomposition of a substance into its ions when the substance is dissolved in water.

  • Molarity (M)

Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solution.

\large{\boxed {\bold {M ~ = ~ \frac {n} {V}}}

Electrolytes will dissociate into ions when dissolved in water

While non-electrolyte solutions do not produce ions

Electrolyte solutions can be

  • 1. Electrolytes are strong if in a solution can be fully ionized usually expressed by the degree of ionization α = 1
  • 2. Electrolytes are weak if in ions the solution is only partially ionized. The degree of ionization ranges from 0 <α <1

Potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) will dissociate into ions

K₂CO₃ ⇒ 2K⁺+ CO₃²⁻

Comparison of reaction coefficients = mole ratio = concentration ratio for the same volume, so

The mole ratio of the ions is

K⁺ : CO₃²⁻ = 2: 1

This comparison also shows the ratio of concentrations of ions: (K₂CO₃ concentration = 0.015 M)

K⁺: CO₃²⁻ = 2.0.015: 1.0.015

K⁺: CO₃²⁻ = 0.03: 0.015 = 2: 1

The standard reduction potentials for two half-cells involving iron are: given below. Fe2+ (aq) + 2e– ® Fe (s) Eο = –0.44 V Fe3+
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Fe⁺² (aq) + 2e⁻ =   Fe (s)   ;   E⁰ =  - .44 V

Fe⁺³ (aq) + e⁻ =  ® Fe²⁺ (aq) ;   E⁰ = + .77 V

Reduction potential of second reaction is more , so it will take place , ie Fe⁺³ will be reduced and Fe will be oxidised .

So reaction in the combined cell will be

2Fe⁺³ + Fe = 3Fe⁺²

cell potential = .77 - ( - .44 )

= 1.21 V .

In the PhET simulation, make sure that the checkbox Stable/Unstable in the bottom right is checked. Using the PhET simulation as
lord [1]

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
