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!

What is the molarity of a solution if 300.0 ml of it contains 16.8 g of kno3? [formula weight: kno3, 101.11 amu]?
AVprozaik [17]
The molarity is count by dividing the mole of the solute within 1 liter of solvent. In this case, the KNO3 is 16.8g with 101.11 g/mol molar mass. Then we need to find the mol first. The calculation would be: 16.8g / (101.11g/mol)= 0.0166 mol.

Then the molarity would be: 0.0166mol/ 0.3l= 0.0498= 0.0553 M

29. Ammonia is formed with one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms. What is the electron configuration of nitrogen? How
masya89 [10]

Answer:

<u>One lone-Pair is present in Ammonia</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

The number of valence electron in N = 5

The number of Valence electron in H = 1

The formula of ammonia = NH3

Total valence electron in ammonia molecule = 5 +3(1) = 5+3 = 8

The lewis structure suggest that :

Nitrogen completes its octet by sharing the electron pair with 3 hydrogen atoms.

3 electron of Nitrogen are involved in sharing with Hydrogen

So,<u><em> remaining two electron are left non-bonded</em></u> . Hence they exist as lone- pair

So, there is only 1 lone pair in the ammonia molecule .

The shape of NH3 is bent according to VSEPR theory . This is so because the presence of 1 lone pair causes more repulsion and occupy more space.

Thus the lone pair is changing the shape of the ammonia molecule . It also increase the dipole moment of the molecule , which gives polarity to it.

When aqueous solutions of NH4OH(aq) and CuCl2(aq) are mixed, the products are NH4Cl(aq) and Cu(OH)2(s). What is the net ionic eq
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

2OH^-(aq) + Cu^2+(aq) -----> Cu(OH)2(s)

Explanation:

The net ionic equation usually shows the main ionic reaction that goes in the system. The other ions that do not participate in this net ionic equation are called spectator ions. Spectator ions do not participate in the main reaction occurring in the system.

The net ionic equation quite often result in the formation of a solid precipitate in the system such as Cu(OH)2.

The net ionic equation for this reaction is;

2OH^-(aq) + Cu^2+(aq) -----> Cu(OH)2(s)

A 1.00 L flask is filled with 1.15 g of argon at 25 ∘C. A sample of ethane vapor is added to the same flask until the total pres
tatiyna

Answer:

The partial pressure of argon in the flask = 71.326 K pa

Explanation:

Volume off the flask = 0.001 m^{3}

Mass of the gas = 1.15 gm = 0.00115 kg

Temperature = 25 ° c = 298 K

Gas constant for Argon R = 208.13 \frac{J}{kg k}

From ideal gas equation P V = m RT

⇒ P = \frac{m R T}{V}

Put all the values in above formula we get

⇒ P = \frac{0.00115}{0.001} × 208.13 × 298

⇒ P = 71.326 K pa

Therefore, the partial pressure of argon in the flask = 71.326 K pa

Name this compound please​
koban [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is butanal

Explanation:

To name this compound we must consider:

1.- Identify the functional group. The functional group of this molecule is the first carbon to the right and its oxygen.

When carbon is attached to oxygen is a border, this functional group is called Aldehyde.

2.- Count the total number of carbons starting from the right. This molecule has 4 carbons.

3.- Name the compound

    An organic molecule with 4 carbons is called butane but change the ending for al, then the name will be butanal
