How many of the following atomic particles does a neutral magnesium

Chemistry
1 answer:
VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

\boxed{\text{12 p, 12 n, and 12 e}}

Explanation:

No atoms of Mg have a mass of 24.3050 u. That is the average mass of all the isotopes of Mg.

However, the most common isotope of Mg is ₁₂²⁴Mg (mass = 23.99 u)

The atomic number of Mg is 12. It has 12 protons.

The atomic mass of ²⁴Mg is 24. That's the total number of protons and neutrons.

 p + n = 24

12 + n = 24

       n = 12

An atom of ²⁴Mg has 12 neutrons.

If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.

e = p = 12

\text{An atom of }$^{24}$\text{Mg contains }\boxed{\textbf{12 p, 12 n, and 12 e}}

What mass of Sodium Chloride is required to make 100.0 mL of 3.0 M solution?
Julli [10]

Answer:

17.55 g of NaCl

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Molarity = 3 M

Volume = 100.0 mL

Mass of NaCl =..?

Next, we shall convert 100.0 mL to L. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore,

100 mL = 100/1000

100 mL = 0.1 L

Therefore, 100 mL is equivalent to 0.1 L.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole NaCl in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Molarity = 3 M

Volume = 0.1 L

Mole of NaCl =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

3 = mole of NaCl /0.1

Cross multiply

Mole of NaCl = 3 × 0.1

Mole of NaCl = 0.3 mole

Finally, we determine the mass of NaCl required to prepare the solution as follow:

Mole of NaCl = 0.3 mole

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol

Mass of NaCl =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

0.3 = mass of NaCl /58.5

Cross multiply

Mass of NaCl = 0.3 × 58.5

Mass of NaCl = 17.55 g

Therefore, 17.55 g of NaCl is needed to prepare the solution.

A heat energy of 645 J is applied to a sample of glass with a mass of 28.4 g. Its temperature increases from –11.6 ∞C to 15.5 ∞C
Anika [276]
The heat that is required to raise the temperature of an object is calculated through the equation,
                        heat = mass x specific heat x (T2 - T1)
Specific heat is therefore calculated through the equation below,
                                specific heat = heat / (mass x (T2 - T1))
Substituting,
                                specific heat = 645 J / ((28.4 g)(15.5 - - 11.6))
The value of specific heat from above equation is 0.838 J/g°C.

Define or give an example for each of the following terms.
irakobra [83]

a) A combound which contains only Carbon and Hydrogen. There are covalent bonds between atoms. Hydrogen form one single bond and Carbon forms four covalent bonds. Carbon bonds can be single, double or triple bonds.

  All hydrocarbons are organic compounds, but organic compound can include atoms of other elements.

b)  Alkyne has a  covalent triple bond between two carbon atoms. Simplest alkyne is ethyne HCCH.  

b) Alkane contains only Carbon and  Hydrogen and there are single bonds

  between atoms. Simplest alkane is methane CH4.

c) An alkene has one double bond between Carbon atoms. Simplest

alkene is ethene  H2C=CH2.
