How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does an atom with atomic number 50 and mass number 125 contain?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kherson [118]3 years ago
5 0
The number of protons in an atom is equal the atomic number (= 50)

The sum of the Neutrons and Protons is the Atomic Mass (=125)
Neutrons + Protons=125

Plug in for the protons (50)
Neutrons +(50)=125

Then, once solved, we have Neutrons = 75

Assuming the atom is NOT an ion, the amount of electrons is equal to the number of protons. (protons=electrons=50=50)

Therefore:
There are 50 electrons, 50 protons, and 75 electrons.

What is the molarity of a 9.13 L soda that contains 13.83 of sugar?
choli [55]

Answer:

1.52 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is calculated as follows:

Molarity = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)

Based on the information given in this question,

Volume of soda (V) = 9.13 L

number of moles = 13.83 mol

Molarity = 13.83 ÷ 9.13

Molarity = 1.52 M

What mass of sodium chloride will be needed to produce 17kg of chlorine?<br> 2Na+2H2O=Cl2+2NaOH+H2.
disa [49]

Explanation:

Sodium is a silver-colored metal which is soft enough to cut with a knife.  It is an extremely reactive metal, and is always found naturally in ionic compounds, not in its pure metallic form.  Pure sodium metal reacts violently (and sometimes explosively) with water, producing sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas, and heat:

2Na(s)  +  2H2O(l)  ——>  2NaOH(aq)  +  H2(g)

Chlorine is a poisonous, yellow-green gas, with a very sharp odor, and was used in gas warfare during World War I.

Sodium and chlorine react with each other, however, to produce a substance that is familiar to almost everyone in the world:  sodium chloride, or table salt:

2Na(s)  +  Cl2(g)  ——>  2NaCl(s)

It is easy to see why this reaction takes place so readily when we look at it on an atomic level:  sodium has one electron in its outermost (valence) shell, while chlorine has seven electrons in its valence shell.  When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable. 

The reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat energy.

 

In the following demonstrations, a 2.5 liter bottle is filled with chlorine gas.  A coating of sand on the bottom of the bottle absorbs some of the heat energy produced during the reaction, and prevents it from breaking.  A small piece of freshly-cut metallic sodium is placed in the flask, and then a small amount of water is added, which reacts with the sodium and causes it to become hot.  The hot sodium then reacts with the chlorine, producing a bright yellow light, a great deal of heat energy, and fumes of sodium chloride, which deposits on the walls of the bottle.

In the first video clip, the sodium flares up almost immediately upon reaction with the water, and "burns out" quickly.  (Don't blink, or you'll miss it.)  In the second, water is added twice, to produce one short flash, followed by a much longer one.  (This reaction can also be done with molten sodium, but I've never been brave enough to try that.)

Which one would be expected to happen? If one of the buffers that contribute to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid (H2
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Option (D) is definitely the answer.

Explanation:

Before going further, it is important to know what buffers and pH represent, which are keywords to answering this question.

Buffers is a special solution that can withstand or resist changes due to pH levels which may be as a result of an introduction of acidic or basic components into the blood. In other words, they maintain the stability of pH level in the human blood.

pH blood levels on the other hand, can be grouped into three: acidity, neutrality and alkalinity. Using a pH scale, one can determine its current level. In the human blood the pH level is near neutral and needs to be on a level near 7.4 in order to avoid a high rise or a drastic fall even if acidic or basic components come in or departs the blood stream.

Therefore, if one of the buffers that contributes to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid, which is as a result of a combination of carbon dioxide and water in the blood stream. On getting to the lungs it is converted to water and subsequently released as waste. Maintaining this stability will definitely be to decrease the concentration of carbonic acid and increase that of water instead.
