So 14-7=7. There are 7 neutrons.

So the atomic number of an element tells the number of proton in the element.
The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.

From this we can draw up and equation:
           Atomic Mass =  (# of protons)  +  (# of neutrons)
     
    ⇒  # of neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number
                               = 14  -  7
                               =  7

Therefore nitrogen has SEVEN neutrons.

padilas [110]

Answer:

Subatomic particles making up an atom

Explanation:

Atom is the smallest unit of any matter

An atom consists of three subatomic particles - Protons, Neutrons, Electrons. Major atomic mass is in the nucleus ie a tiny deep area at the centre. Nucleus consists nucleons, which includes protons (positively charge) & neurons (neutrally charged). Negatively charged electrons are outside the central nucleus.

Which term is de ned as the region in an atom where an electron is most likely to be located?
charle [14.2K]
Orbital
All atoms have the same number of electrons as protons. Negative electrons are attracted to the positive nucleus. This force of attraction keeps electrons constantly moving around the nucleus. The region where an electron is most likely to be found is called an orbital.

Answer:

Explanation:

Cu:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

2 mol = mass / 64 g/mol

Mass = 128 g

Mg:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

0.5 mol = mass / 24 g/mol

Mass =  g

Cl₂:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 35.5 g / 24 g/mol

Number of moles = 852 mol

H₂:

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass

8 mol  = Mass / 2 g/mol

Mass =  16 g

P₄:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

2 mol  =  mass / 124 g/mol

Mass = 248 g

O₃:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 1.6 g /48  g/mol

Number of moles = 0.033 mol

H₂O

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 54 g / 18 g/mol

Number of moles = 3 mol

CO₂

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

2 mol  =  mass / 124 g/mol

Mass = 248 g

NH₃

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 8.5 g / 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.5 mol

CaCO₃

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 100 g / 100 g/mol

Number of moles = 1 mol

a)

Given data:

Mass of iron(III)oxide needed = ?

Mass of iron produced = 100 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

F₂O₃ + 3CO    →    2Fe  + 3CO₂

Number of moles of iron:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 100 g/ 56 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.78 mol

Now we compare the moles of iron with iron oxide.

                        Fe          :           F₂O₃                

                           2          :             1

                          1.78       :        1/2×1.78 = 0.89 mol

Mass of  F₂O₃:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.89 mol × 159.69 g/mol

Mass = 142.124 g

100 g of iron is 1.78 moles of Fe, so 0.89 moles of F₂O₃ are needed, or 142.124 g of iron(III) oxide.

b)

Given data:

Number of moles of Al = 0.05 mol

Mass of iodine = 26 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3I₂   →  2AlI₃

Number of moles of iodine = 26 g/ 254 g/mol

Number of moles of iodine = 0.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Al and I₂ with AlI₃.

                          Al            :         AlI₃    

                          2             :           2

                         0.05         :        0.05

                           I₂            :         AlI₃

                           3            :          2

                         0.1           :           2/3×0.1 = 0.067

Number of moles of AlI₃ produced by Al are less so it will limiting reactant.

Mass of AlI₃:                            

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.05 mol × 408 g/mol

Mass = 20.4 g

26 g of iodine is 0.1 moles. From the equation, this will react with 2 moles of Al. So the limiting reactant is Al.

c)

Given data:

Mass of lead = 6.21 g

Mass of lead oxide = 6.85 g

Equation of reaction = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Pb + O₂   → 2PbO

Number of moles of lead = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 6.21 g/ 207 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.03 mol

Number of moles of lead oxide = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 6.85 g/ 223 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.031 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with lead and lead oxide.

               Pb         :        O₂

                2          :         1

               0.03     :      1/2×0.03 = 0.015 mol

Mass of oxygen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.015 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass =  0.48 g

The mass of oxygen that took part in equation was 0.48 g. which is 0.015 moles of oxygen. The number of moles of Pb in 6.21 g of lead is 0.03 moles. So the balance equation is

2Pb + O₂   → 2PbO
