Answer: Eight protons

Explanation:

Electrons have a negative charge, neutrons have a neutral charge, and protons have a positive charge. If the atom is neutral, it must have the same number of electrons and protons, regardless of the number of neutrons. Because there are 8 electrons, there are 8 protons.

Answer:

it would have 8 electrons.

Explanation:

if it is neutral that means that there is the same amount of protons as there are electrons so that their charges cancel out.

How many kilowatt-hours of electricity are used to produce 4.50 kg of magnesium in the electrolysis of molten mgcl2 with an appl
ratelena [41]
First, we need to determine the half reaction of magnesium. It would be expressed as:

Mg2+ + 2e- = Mg

Given the mass of magnesium metal that is produced, we calculate the total charge of the electrolysis by the relations we can get from the half reaction. We do as follows:

4.50 kg Mg ( 1000 g / 1 kg ) ( 1 mol / 24.305 g ) ( 2 mol e- / 1 mol Mg ) ( 96500 C / 1 mol e- ) = 35733388.2 C

We are given the applied EMF in units of V. This value is equal to J/C. So, 5 V is equal to 5 J/C.

35733388.2 C (5 J/C) = 178666941 J
178666941 J ( 1 kW-h / 3.6x10^6 J ) = 49.63 kW-h

If you compared 1 m solutions, was a 1 m nacl solution more or less hypertonic than a 1 m sucrose solution? what is your evidenc
igor_vitrenko [27]
When you say the solution is hypertonic, it means that the solution has a higher osmotic pressure. The formula for this is:

P = iMRT,
for strong electrolytes, i = number of ions. 
for nonelectrolytes, i = 1

1. The P for sucrose solution which is a nonelectrolyte (assuming room temp):
P = (1)(1m)(8.314 J/mol-K)(298 K)
P = 2477.572 Pa

The P for NaCl solution, which is a strong electrolyte:
P = (2)(1 m)(8.314)(298 K)
P = 4955.144 Pa

<em>So, that means that NaCl is more hypertonic than the sucrose solution.</em>

2. For the second question, the P for the combination of 1 m glucose (nonelectrolyte) and 1 m sucrose is:
P = (1)(1 m)(8.314)(298 K) + (1)(1)(8.314)(298 K) = 4955.144 Pa
<em>In this case, the osmotic pressures are now equal. It is not hypertonic, but isotonic.</em>

an unknown metal of mass 512 g at a temperature of 15C is dropped into 325 g of water held in a 100 g aluminum container at the
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.843J/g°C

Explanation:

Hello,

To determine the specific heat capacity of the metal, we have to work on the principle of heat loss by the metal is equals to heat gained by the water.

Heat gained by the metal = heat loss by water + calorimeter

Data,

Mass of metal (M1) = 512g

Mass of water (M2) = 325g

Initial temperature of the metal (T1) = 15°C

Initial temperature of water (T2) = 98°C

Final temperature of the mixture (T3) = 78°C

Specific heat capacity of metal (C1) = ?

Specific heat capacity of water (C2) = 4.184J/g°C

Heat loss = heat gain

M2C2(T2 - T3) = M1C1(T3 - T1)

325 × 4.184 × (98 - 78) = 512 × C1 × (78 - 15)

1359.8 × 20 = 512C1 × 63

27196 = 32256C1

C1 = 27196 / 32256

C1 = 0.843J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.843J/g°C

A container holds 15.0 g of phosphorous gas at a pressure of 2.0 atm and a temperature of 20.0 Celsius. What is the density of t
erik [133]
<span>Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. We calculate as follows:

PV = nRT
PV = mRT/ Molar mass
m/V = P(molar mass)/RT
Density = P(molar mass)/RT 
Density = 2.0 ( 30.97 ) / 0.08206 ( 20 + 273.15) = 2.57 g/L <----First option</span>
