Find out atomic number, mass number, number of electron and neutron in an element 40 x 20 ?

Answer»

The mass no. of x is 40

The atomic no. of x  is 20

No. of proton is = Z – A = 40 – 20 = 20

No. of electron its (A) = 20

No. of proton is (A) = 20

For 40X20

Atomic number = 20

Mass number = 40

Number of electrons = number of protons = atomic number = 20

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 40 - 20 = 20

The atomic number of carbon is 6 and number of neutron is equal to 6. Find the atomic mass or mass number of carbon.

Answer»

Since atomic number of carbon = 6

Therefore, number of proton = 6

Now, Atomic mass = number of proton + number of neutron

Or, Atomic mass or mass number = 6 + 6 = 12 u

Thus, mass number or atomic mass of carbon = 12u

14266.

Atomic mass of aluminium is 27 u and atomic number is 13, find the number of protons and number of neutrons in aluminium.

Answer»

Since,

Atomic number = 13

Therefore, number of proton = 13

We know that; Atomic mass (Mass number) = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Therefore,

27 u = 13 + n

Or, n = 27 – 13 = 14

Therefore, number of proton = 13 and number of neutron = 14

14267.

Consider the demand for a good. At a price ₹4 the demand for the good is 30 kg. Suppose price of the good increases to ₹5 and as a result the demand for the good falls to 20 kg. Calculate the price elasticity of demand.

Answer»

Elasticity of demand

Ep = \(\frac{ΔQ}{ΔP}\times\frac{P}{Q}\)

In this example,

ΔQ = 10, ΔP = 1, P = 4, Q = 30

Therefore, Ep = \(\frac{10}{1}\times\frac{4}{30}\) = 0.75

14294.

When price of orange is ₹4, consumer buys 50 units of it. The price elasticity is -2. How many units will the consumer buy at ₹3 per unit of orange?

Answer»

Σ d = -2 

When P = 4, q = 50 

When P = 3, q = ?

\(\sum d = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta P} \times \frac{P}{q}\)

-2 = \(\frac{\Delta q}{-1} \times \frac{4}{50} = \frac{4 \Delta q}{-50}\)

100 = 4 Δ q 

Δ q = 100/4 =25 

∴ New quantity = q + Δ q 

= 50 + 25 

= 75
