I THINK IT IS 16 BECAUSE THE ATOMIC NUMBER AND THE NUMBER OF PROTONS ARE THE SAME

Atomic number = number of electrons = number of protons( by JJ thomson's theory)

Thus, the number of protons is 16

If the thorium-232 isotope emits an alpha particle, what would be the atomic number of the resulting atom?
inysia [295]

<span>Answer is: atomic number of resulting atom is 88.
Alpha particle is nucleus of a helium-4 atom, which is made of two protons and two neutrons.
Nuclear reaction: ²³</span>²Th → ²²⁸Ra + α (alpha particle).

Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

Ammonia (NH3) clouds are present around some planets. Calculate the number of grams of ammonia produced by the reaction of 5.4 g
Komok [63]

Answer:

30.4 g. NH3

Explanation:

This problem tells us that the hydrogen (H2) is the limiting reactant, as there is "an excess of nitrogen." Using stoichiometry (the relationship between the various species of the equation), we can see that for every 3 moles of H2 consumed, 2 moles of NH3 are produced.

But before we can use that relationship to find the number of grams of ammonia produced, we need to convert the given grams of hydrogen into moles:

5.4 g x [1 mol H2/(1.008x2 g.)] = 2.67857 mol H2 (not using significant figures yet; want to be as accurate as possible)

Now, we can use the relationship between H2 and NH3.

2.67857 mol H2 x (2 mol NH3/3 mol H2) = 1.7857 mol NH3

Now, we have the number of moles of ammonia produced, but the answer asks us for grams. Use the molar mass of ammonia to convert.

1.7857 mol NH3 x 17.034 g. NH3/mol NH3 = 30.4 g. NH3 (used a default # of 3 sig figs)

What changes occur in O + O = O2
ozzi

Answer:

They went from atoms to oxygen molecule.

Explanation:

I'm not sure if this is the answer your teacher is looking for, but in simple terms you had 2 oxygen atoms. Together they make an oxygen molecule, which is the stuff we breathe.
