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.

Answer:

Explanation:

In spontaneous reaction , there is decrease in Gibb's free energy .( Δ G is negative ). Out of given reaction , following reactions have negative Δ G so they are spontaneous.

C ₂ H ₄ + H ₂ Rh ( I ) −−−→ C ₂ H ₆ ,  Δ G = − 150.97 kJ / mol

C ₆ H₁₃O₉ P + ATP ⟶ C ₆ H₁₄ O₁₂ P₂ + ADP ,  Δ G = − 14.2 kJ / mol

What are the 4 most abundant minerals in the continental crust? What percentage do these 4 makeup of the total?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

SiO_2, Al_2O_3, CaO, MgO

Explanation:

The four most abundant minerals in the continental crust are, SiO_2, Al_2O_3, CaO, MgO.

The percentages are

SiO_2=60.6\%

Al_2O_3=15.9\%

CaO=6.4\%

MgO=4.7\%

SiO_2 is called quartz

Al_2O_3 is called corundum

CaO is called calcium oxide or quick lime

MgO is called magnesium oxide or magnesia

For nitrogen gas the values of Cv and Cp at 25°C are 20.8 J K−1 mol−1 and 29.1 J K−1 mol−1, respectively. When a sample of nitro
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The fraction of energy used to  increase the internal energy of the gas is 0.715

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Cv for nitrogen gas = 20.8 J/K*mol

Cp for nitrogen gas = 29.1 J/K*mol

Step 2:

At a constant volume, all the  heat will increase the internal energy of the gas.

At constant pressure, the gas expands and does work., if the volume changes.

Cp= Cv + R

⇒The value needed to change the internal energy is shown by Cv

⇒The work is given by Cp

To find what fraction of the energy is used to increase the internal energy of the gas, we have to calculate the value of Cv/Cp

Cv/Cp = 20.8 J/K*mol / 29.1 J/K*mol

Cv/Cp = 0.715

The fraction of energy used to  increase the internal energy of the gas is 0.715
