Z = atomic number = count of protons
Z = 30 ⇒ there are 30 protons.

Answer: The correct option is, 30 protons

Explanation:

Element = Zinc

Atomic number = 30

Atomic mass number = 65

Recall that the atomic number equals the number of electrons and protons.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons = 30

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Number of protons = 65 - 30 = 35

Therefore, an uncharged zinc atom has 30 protons.

lions [2653]

Response:

The pKa value is 13.0.

Clarification:

pKa + pKb = 14

For trimethylamine, Kb = 6.3 × 10^{-5}

Calculating pKb: pKb = - log (6.3 × 10^{-5})

= 1.0

Thus, pKa = 14 - pKb = 14 - 1.0

pKa = 13.0

Verification: The typical range for pKa in weak acids is from 2 to 13.

A sample of helium gas has a volume of 0.180L, a pressure of 0.800a and a temperature of 29 C. What is the new temp or gas of vo
Anarel [2605]

Solution:

The gas's new temperature is 604K

Justification:

Assuming standard temperature and pressure, we can determine the gas's temperature using the ideal gas law;

Step 1: Formulate the general gas law equation

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Step 2: Insert the values, converting as needed to standard units.

P1 = 0.800 atm

V1 = 0.180 L

T1 = 29°C = 273 + 29 = 302K

P2 = 3.20 atm

V2 = 90 mL = 90 * 10^-3 L = 0.09 L

Step 3: Solve for T2

The new gas temperature T2 is calculated as:

T2 = P2V2T1/(P1V1)

T2 = 3.20 * 0.09 * 302 / (0.800 * 0.180)

T2 = 86.976 / 0.144

T2 = 604K

The gas's new temperature is 604K.

Alekssandra [2719]

Answer:

Explanation:

Diethyl malonate possesses greater acidity compared to monocarbonyl substances (pKa=13) because its alpha hydrogens are linked to two carbonyl groups. Consequently, the malonic ester can be readily changed into its enolate ion by reacting it with sodium ethoxide in ethanol. When the malonic ester undergoes alkylation, a hydrogen atom in the alpha position becomes acidic, permitting another round of alkylation to yield a dialkylated malonic ester.

In this scenario, when diethyl malonate interacts with urea in the presence of sodium ethoxide base, the second alkylation step occurs within the molecule, producing a cyclic compound known as barbituric acid.

Describe the cause of attraction between molecules of water
lions [2653]
In a water molecule, the sharing of electrons occurs between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms within covalent bonds; however, this sharing is unequal. The oxygen atom holds a stronger pull on the electrons compared to the hydrogen atoms in the bond.

An average copper penny minted in the 1960s contained about 3.000 g of copper. how much chalcopyrite had be mined to produce 100
lorasvet [2542]

To find the answer, start by calculating the total mass of the copper utilized:

Copper used = 100 pennies x 3.0g Cu per penny = 300.0 g Cu



Next, identify the path and molar ratios from Cu produced back to CuFeS2 needed using the established balanced reactions:

1 Cu2S from 2 CuS; 2Cu from 1 Cu2S; 2CuS from 2CuFeS2
Thus, 2Cu comes from 2CuFeS2, indicating a 1:1 molar ratio.



Then convert grams of Cu to moles and grams of CuFeS2:
= 300.0 g Cu * 1 mol Cu/63.546g Cu * 2 mol CuFeS2/2 moles Cu

= 4.72 moles CuFeS2



The required amount of chalcopyrite mined = 4.72 moles CuFeS2 * 183.54 g CuFeS2/1 mole CuFeS2 = 866.49 g CuFeS2
