Chemistry

Explanation:

Atomic number of an atom means the sum of total number of protons present in an atom.

Mass number is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

And, when we write the symbol of an atom then it is represented like this ^{a}_{z}X, where "a" represents the mass number of the atom and "z" represents the number of protons.

Therefore, in plutonium-239 it is shown that mass number is 239 and atomic number of a plutonium atom is 94. Now, calculate its number of neutrons as follows.

         Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                 239 = 94 + no. of neutrons

           no. of neutrons = 239 - 94

                                      = 145

Thus, we can conclude that in plutonium-239 number of protons is 94, number of neutrons is 145 and its symbol is ^{239}_{94}Pu.

What is the volume of 8.80 g of CH4 gas at STP?
Ann [662]

Answer:

12.32 L.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of CH4 = 8.80 g

Volume of CH4 =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 8.80 g of CH4. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of CH4 = 8.80 g

Molar mass of CH4 = 12 + (1×4) = 12 + 4 = 16 g/mol

Mole of CH4 =?

Mole = mass/Molar mass

Mole of CH4 = 8.80 / 16

Mole of CH4 = 0.55 mole.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the gas at stp as illustrated below:

1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L at stp.

Therefore, 0.55 mole of CH4 will occupy = 0.55 × 22.4 = 12.32 L.

Thus, 8.80 g of CH4 occupies 12.32 L at STP.

How to balance NH3+NO=N2+H2O
Kryger [21]

Explanation:

NH₃+NO=N₂+H₂O;

NH₃+NO=N₂+6H₂O;

NH₃+6NO=N₂+6H₂O;

4NH₃+6NO=N₂+6H₂O;

4NH₃+6NO=5N₂+6H₂O.
