What is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom called?

Chemistry
1 answer:
anzhelika [568]3 years ago
5 0

This is called the Mass Number of the isotope of the atom.

Isotopes are different forms of the same atom. They have the same number of protons  but different number of neutrons.

Carbon-12 has mass number  12 as it has 6 protons and 6 neutrons.

Carbon-14 has mass number 14 as its has 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

6 Which substances have atoms of the same element but different molecular structures?
Bezzdna [24]
Well you want the answer with the same letter in it. A.k.a 2. This means they have the same element in them
O2 (Diatomic oxygen that we breathe) and O3 (Ozone that would be deadly to breathe) have different structures.
So the answer is 2

Percent concentration is one of the most common and basic concentration measurement used by general public. true or false?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

  • <u>TRUE:</u> <em>Percent concentration is one of the most common and basic concentration measurement used by general public</em>

Explanation:

In chemistry there are many <em>concentration measurements</em> used to describe the mixtures. Some of them are, percent, molarity, molality, and molar fraction, among others.

Percent concentration is a popular one because it is commonly understood and used by the non specialist people, i.e. general public.

The percent concentration of a component is defined as: (amount of component in the mixture / amount of mixture) × 100.

The amounts may be measured in mass units (e.g grams) or volume units (e.g. mililiters).

For solutions, mass percent concentration is:

  • % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100.

And voluem percen contration is:

  • % = (volume of solute / volume of solution) × 100

Since percentage is used in many profesional and personal activities, most persons use it.

For example, rubbing alcohol, that everyone buys in pharmacies, is 70%; vinager, used in the food, is acetic acid at 5% - 8%.

Suppose you want to determine which type of paper falls the fastest; an unfolded sheet of paper, a sheet of paper folded into fo
AnnZ [28]
For starters, I would get the same height for each paper, such as a counter top. Then, I would make said paper. You would use a timer of course, maybe even something like a speed gun to calculate the speed as said paper falls. You would push each paper off the counter top and calculate the speed for each paper. This is the easiest way to prove your hypothesis.

You have a sample of 75.6 g of C3H8. How many moles of C3H8 are in the sample?
dsp73

The number of moles that are contained in the given mass of propane (C_3H_8 is 1.7143 moles.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Mass of propane = 75.6 grams.

<u>Scientific data:</u>

  • The molar mass of propane = 44.1 g/mol.

To calculate the number of moles that are contained in the given mass of propane (C_3H_8):

<h3>How to calculate the moles of a compound.</h3>

In this exercise, you're required to determine the number of moles of propane that are contained in the given sample:

Mathematically, the number of moles contained in a chemical compound is given by this formula:

Number\;of\;moles = \frac{mass}{molar\;mass}

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Number\;of\;moles = \frac{75.6}{44.1}

Number of moles = 1.7143 moles.

How many Mol are in 4.000 grams of MgCl2 ?
grigory [225]

Answer:

The number of mol is: 0, 042 mol in 4 grams of MgCl2

Explanation:

We calculate the weight of 1 mol of MgCl2:

Weight 1mol of MgCl2= weight Mg + (weight Cl)x  2=

24, 3 grams + 2 x 35, 5 grams = 95, 3 grams/mol MgCl2

95, 3 grams------1 mol MgCl2

4 grams      -------x = (4 grams x1 mol MgCl2)/ 95, 3 grams= 0, 04197 mol MgCl2
