Atomic Number is the same as the number of protons in an element.
Mass Number is the number of Protons + Neutrons in an element.

Atomic Number: 6 means 6 Protons
Mass Number: 15 means 15 atoms that are a proton/neutron.
We are given out of the 15 atoms, 6 of them are protons, so the other 9 must be Neutrons.

15 - 6 = 9 so there must be 9 Neutrons.

There are 9 Neutrons in atom's nucleus.

Give Brainiest if you think this is the best answer and explanation. Thanks!

- 6 protons
- 6 electrons
- 15-6 = 9 neutrons

A 100-gram sample of sodium chloride (NaCl) consists of 60.66 g of chlorine and 39.34 g of sodium. What mass of sodium would mak
bonufazy [111]
The answer is 59.01 g

If a 100-gram sample of NaCl consists of 39.34 g of sodium, a 150-gram sample of NaCl will consist x g of sodium:

100 g : 39.34 g = 150 g : x
x = 39.34 g * 150 g : 100 g
x = 59.01 g

How many grams of NO will be produced from 60.0g of NO2 reacted with excess water in the following chemical reaction?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Mass = 19.78 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NO produced = ?

Mass of NO₂ reacted = 60.0 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3NO₂(g) + H₂O(l)   →  2HNO₃(g) + NO(g)

Number of moles of NO₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 60.0 g/ 46 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.3 mol

Now we will compare the moles of NO₂ with NO.

                      NO₂         :           NO

                        3            :            1

                      1.3            :            1/3×1.3 = 0.43 mol

Mass of NO:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.43 mol × 46 g/mol

Mass = 19.78 g
