The atomic mass of a carbon isotope that has 6 protons and 7 neutrons is<u> </u><u>13</u>
Explanation:
Remember that whilst the atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, the mass number represents the summation of protons and neutrons particles in the atomic nuclei. Therefore, in this case, the carbon will have a mass number of;
6 + 7 = 13
Isotopes of an element usually have the same atomic number but different mass numbers -because they have slightly different numbers of neutrons. An example is isotopes of Carbon; C-14 and C-12
Answer:
Option "C" is the correct answer to the following question.
Explanation:
Given:
Pressure in an automobile tire (P) = 1.88 atm
Temperature (K) = 25°C = 273 + 25 = 298 Kelvin
New temperature (K1) = 37°C = 273 + 37 = 310 Kelvin
Find:
New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = ?
Computation:
New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = 1.9557
New pressure in an automobile tire (P1) = 1.96 (Approx)
The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) is an unusual substance that contains a carbon anion (C₂²⁻). The reaction with water involves several steps that occur in rapid succession. CaC2 is a salt (notice that its name is similar to sodium chloride). When a salt dissolves in water, ions leave the crystal lattice and enter the aqueous (aq) solution. Write the relevant balanced chemical equation for the dissolution of CaC₂, in water.
Answer:
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)
Explanation:
When a salt dissolves in water, it dissociates in its ions. In the Calcium Carbide, the cation is Ca⁺² and the anion is C₂²⁻, so the reaction is:
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)
The base Ca(OH)₂ is soluble, so it will dissociate at Ca⁺ and OH⁻, but the C₂H₂ is stable and doesn't dissociate in the solution.
fourth period
The third period is similar to the second, except the 3s and 3p sublevels are being filled. Because the 3d sublevel does not fill until after the 4s sublevel, the fourth period contains 18 elements, due to the 10 additional electrons that can be accommodated by the 3d orbitals.
