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

Chemistry

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.

Elemental iodine (I 2) is a solid at room temperature. What is the major attractive force that exists among different I 2 molecu
Ulleksa [173]

Explanation:

As I_{2} is a covalent compound because it is made up by the combination of two non-metal atoms. Atomic number of an iodine atom is 53 and it contains 7 valence electrons as it belongs to group 17 of the periodic table.

Therefore, sharing of electrons will take place when two iodine atoms chemically combine with each other leading to the formation of a covalent bonding.

Hence, weak forces like london dispersion forces will be present between a molecule of I_{2}.

The weak intermolecular forces which can arise either between nucleus and electrons or between electron-electron are known as dispersion forces. These forces are also known as London dispersion forces and these are temporary in nature.

thus, we can conclude that london dispersion force is the major attractive force that exists among different I_{2} molecules in the solid.

Does anyone know the answer to these?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

mass of CaCO₃ = 155 g

mass of HCl = 250 g

mass of CaCl₂ = 142 g

reactants = CaCO₃ + HCl

products = CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

1.- Balanced chemical reaction

             CaCO₃ + 2HCl   ⇒    CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

2.- Limiting reactant

molar mass of CaCO₃ = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100 g

molar mass of HCl = 2[1 + 35.5 ] = 73 g

theoretical proportion CaCO₃ /HCl = 100 / 73 = 1.37

experimental proportion CaCO₃ /HCl = 155 / 250 = 0.62

As the experimental proportion was lower than the theoretical proportion the limiting reactant is CaCO₃

3.-

Calculate the molar mass of CaCl₂

CaCl₂ = 40 + 71 = 111 g

          100 g of CaCO₃ ------------------ 111 g of CaCl₂

           155 g of CaCO₃ ----------------- x

               x = (155 x 111) / 100

               x = 17205 / 100

              x = 172.05 g of CaCl₂

4.- percent yield

Percent yield = 142 / 172.05 x 100 = 82.5 %

5.- Excess reactant

    100 g of CaCO₃  -------------------- 73 g of HCl

     155 g of caCO₃ ------------------- x

           x = (155 x 73)/100

           x = 133.15 g

Mass of HCl = 250 - 133.15

                    = 136.9 g
