Cobalt (Co) has an atomic mass of 59 and an atomic number of 27. Which statement correctly describes an atom of cobalt?

A. An atom of cobalt contains more neutrons than protons.
B. An atom of cobalt contains more electrons than protons.
C. An atom of cobalt contains the same number of neutrons and protons.
D. An atom of cobalt contains the same number of neutrons, electrons and protons.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

27 us the number of protons when we subtract 27 from 59 it will be 32 because a mass number is the sum of proton and neutron but tell u more on the comment

Answer 2

Answer: A - An atom of cobalt contains more neutrons than protons.

Explanation: The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. The atomic mass is the sum of protons & neutrons in an atom. So, with simple math we can figure out the number of neutrons. Total 59 - 27 protons = 32 neutrons. Which means that A is the only right answer in this case.

Little Extra: A & B would both be correct if Cobalt was a negatively charged ion. An atom is an ion if it is charged, and an ion is either negatively charged or positively charged. For example, if Cobalt had 27 protons & 26 electrons it's overall charge would be positive since it has more protons than electrons. And it would be negatively charged if Cobalt had 27 protons & 28 electrons. No charge if there are 27 protons & 27 electrons because proton +1 and electron -1. Imagine 27-27=0 no charge, 27-26= +1 charge, 27-28= -1 charge

I hope this made you smarter.

Which of the following best describes the velocity of an object?
A B0 m/s
B 30 m east
C 30 m/s east
D 30 m/s2

Answers

The answer is c
30 m/s east

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf C. \ 30 \ m/s \ east}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Velocity is the vector measurement of the change in position over time. A vector measurement means the answer must include a magnitude (numerical value) and a direction.

Here are some units of velocity:

m/s (meters per second) kph (kilometers per hour) km/s (kilometers per second)

There are many other units, but m/s is the most common.

We can eliminate choice B and D, because the units (meters-m and meters per second squared-m/s²) are not for velocity.

We are left with choice A (30 m/s) and C (30 m/s east). Remember, velocity needs a number and a direction. C contains the direction east, so it must be the correct answer.  

A pharmacist mixed some 10%-saline solution with some 15%-saline solution obtain 100 mL of a 12%-saline solution. How much of the 10-saline solution did the pharmacist use in the mixture

Answers

Answer:

10%-saline solution = 60mL

15%-saline solution = 40mL

Explanation:

Let

10%-saline solution = x

15%-saline solution = y

x + y = 100

0.1x + 0.15y = 100*0.12

x + y = 100 (1)

0.1x + 0.15y = 12 (2)

from (1)

x = 100 - y

Substitute x = 100 - y into

0.1x + 0.15y = 12

0.1(100 - y) + 0.15y = 12

10 - 0.1y + 0.15y = 12

- 0.1y + 0.15y = 12 - 10

0.05y = 2

y = 2 / 0.05

y = 40mL

Substitute y = 40 into

x + y = 100

x + 40 = 100

x = 100 - 40

x = 60mL

10%-saline solution = 60mL

15%-saline solution = 40mL

acid; there ph value is mostly 7

base: there ph value can be more than 7 or less than 7

Answer:

The more towards 0 a pH value is, the increasingly acidic. Conversely, the more towards 14 a pH value is, the increasingly alkaline. Some examples of bases are lye, ammonia, and seawater. Some examples of acids are vinegar, lemon juice, and battery acid. To determine the pH of a liquid, you can use pH strips. Depending on the color (the redder the more acidic, the bluer the more alkaline), you can determine the pH of whatever you are trying to measure.

How many milliliters of sodium metal, with a density of 0.97 g/mL, would be needed to produce 34.5 grams of sodium hydroxide in the single replacement reaction below?
Unbalanced equation: Na + H2O ---> NaOH + H2

Answers

Volume of Sodium metal : 20.454 ml

Further explanation

Reaction(balanced) :

2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂

mass NaOH = 34.5 g

mol NaOH(MW=40 g/mol) :

[tex]\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{34.5}{40}\\\\mol=0.8625[/tex]

From the equation, mol ratio of Na : NaOH = 2 : 2, so mol Na=mol NaOH=0.8625

Mass Na (Ar=23 g/mol):

[tex]\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=0.8625\times 23\\\\mass=19.84~g[/tex]

Volume Na :

[tex]\tt V=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\\V=\dfrac{19.84~g}{0.97~g/ml}\\\\V=20.454~ml[/tex]

Aluminium and oxygen react to produce aluminium oxide,

How many kilograms of aluminium oxide are formed when 5,4 kg of aluminium react
with excess oxygen?
A 5,4 kg
B 88 kg
C 10.2 kg
D 33,6 kg

Answers

The balanced reaction is

4 Al + 3 O₂   →   2 Al₂O₃

so that for every 4 moles of Al and 3 moles of O2, you end up with 2 moles of Al₂O₃.

• Al has molar mass ≈ 26.982 g/mol

• O has molar mass ≈ 15.999 g/mol

• Al₂O₃ thus has molar mass ≈ 101.961 g/mol

You start with 5.4 kg = 5,400 g of Al, or

(5.4 kg Al) • (1/26.982 mol/g) ≈ 200.133 mol Al

Al₂O₃ is produced in a ratio of 2 moles to every 4 moles of Al, so you end up with about 100.067 mol Al₂O₃, which has a mass of

(100.067 mol Al₂O₃) • (101.961 g/mol) ≈ 10,202 g = 10.2 kg

so the answer is C.

Daniel and Sanya are scientists. Daniel is studying whether the increasing frequency of tropical storms is affecting coastal erosion. Sanya is investigating whether the discharge from industrial plants has any impact on the pH concentration of freshwater swamps in the surrounding area. Which fields of science are Daniel's and Sanya's studies most closely related to?

Daniel's field of study is related to [biological, earth and space,or physical] science, and Sanya's field of study is related to [biology, chemistry, or physics].​

Answers

Answer:

- Daniel- Earth and Space

- Sanya- Chemistry

Explanation:

Daniel's study field is associated with the 'Earth and Space' as he is attempting to explore how the frequency of tropical storms(in the atmosphere) and coastal erosion(relation with land and ocean) are interconnected to each other. He studies how the two are associated and affect life on the planet.

While Sanya's field of study would be 'Chemistry' as she aims to study the composition and constitution of substances and the changes that they undergo as a consequence of alterations in the constitution of their molecules('whether the discharge from industrial plants has any impact on the pH concentration of freshwater swamps in the surrounding area').
