Explain how you can determine the number of protons electrons and neutrons an atom has by its mass number and atomic number

1 answer:

8 0

The number of n protons can be easily determined by its atomic number. With the atomic number and mass number (rounded If not already), then with basic subtraction we can calculate the number of neutrons...
Hope that helped!

Option E, Real gas particles have more complex interactions than ideal gas particles.

In ideal gases, there is absolutely no interaction between any atoms. At all. Atoms simply don't bump into each other in ideal gases.

Obviously, you know that's unrealistic. In real gases, atoms collide into each other all the time.

Why don't solids change shape?

borishaifa [10]

Answer: B) the forces in the solid hold the atoms tightly in place

Explanation:This is because there is no room for the atoms to move around much and because they are very close together which makes the phase a solid.

Which equation has both a liquid and a gas as products? 2 upper H g upper O (s) right arrow 2 upper H g (l) plus upper O subscri

Mandarinka [93]

<h2>Let us predict the gas and liquid products in option </h2>

Explanation:

option 1 : 2 upper H g upper O (s) right arrow 2 upper H g (l) plus upper O subscript 2 (g).

Chemical reaction

It is the reactants react to form products .

Chemical equation

It is the method of representing reaction in terms of moles , specifying states , symbols , molecular formulas etc .

This actually gives the complete info about the reaction .

In the above asked question or any other question we can specify the states by writting :

Solid as "S".

Liquid as "L"

Gas as (g).

What is the concentration of H3O+ ions in saliva if [OH-] = 4.22 x 10-10 M? Provide the pH and the classification of this sample

OLEGan [10]

pH=4.625

The classification of this sample of saliva : acid

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The water equilibrium constant (Kw) is the product of concentration

the ions:

Kw = [H₃O⁺] [OH⁻]

Kw value at 25° C = 10⁻¹⁴

It is known [OH-] = 4.22 x 10⁻¹⁰ M

then the concentration of H₃O⁺:

$\tt 10^{-14}=4.22\times 10^{-10}\times [H_3O^+]\\\\(H_3O^+]=\dfrac{10^{-14}}{4.22\times 10^{-10}}=2.37\times 10^{-5}$

pH=-log[H₃O⁺] $\tt pH=5-log~2.37=4.625$

Saliva⇒acid(pH<7)

Compound X has a molar mass of 266.64 g/mol and the following composition: aluminum 20.24% chlorine 79.76% Write the molecular f

N76 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assume we have 100g of this substance. That means we would have 20.24g of Cl and 79.76g of Al. Now we can find how many moles of each we have:

$\frac{79.76 \:g}{35.45 \: g/mol}$ = 2.25 mol of chlorine

$\frac{20.24 \: g}{26.98 \: g/mol}$ = 0.750 mol of Al.

To form a integer ratio, do 2.25/0.75 = 2.99999 ~= 3.

So the ratio is essentially Al : Cl => 1 : 3. To the compound is possibly $AlCl_3$ .

However, it says it has a molar mass of 266.64 g/mol, and since AlCl3 has a molar mass of 133.32, it must be $Al_2Cl_6$ .

Actually this molecule isn't exactly AlCl3 (which is ionic). Al2Cl6 forms a banana bond where Cl acts as a hapto-2 ligand. But that's a bit advanced. All you need to know is X = Al2Cl6
