How may a substance be tested to determine whether or not it is an element

Chemistry

yaroslaw [1]3 years ago

Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 31 and its mass number is 80?
MrRissso [65]

49 neutrons in each nucleus.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

For each nucleus:

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons.

The atomic number of a nucleus is the same as its number of protons. The atomic number of the nucleus here is 31. There are 31 protons in each nucleus.

  • Mass number = 80;
  • Number of protons = Atomic number = 31;
  • The number of neutrons is to be found.

Again,

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons.

80 = 31 + Number of neutrons.

Number of neutrons = 80 - 31 = 49.

I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!! CHEMISTRY QUESTION: If 38 g of Li3P and 15 grams of Al2O3 are reacted, what total mass of products will r
maksim [4K]

Answer:

21.5 g.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between the given compounds is:

2Li_3P+Al_2O_3\rightarrow 3Li_2O+2AlP

We can see that according to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction, the total mass of products equals the total mass of reactants based on the stoichiometric proportions; in such a way, we first need to compute the reacted moles of Li3P as shown below:

n_{Li_3P}^{reacted}=38gLi_3P*\frac{1molLi_3P}{51.8gLi_3P}=0.73molLi_3P

Now, the moles of Li3P consumed by 15 g of Al2O3:

n_{Li_3P}^{consumed \ by \ Al_2O_3}=15gAl_2O_3*\frac{1molAl_2O_3}{101.96gAl_2O_3} *\frac{2molLi_3P}{1molAl_2O_3} =0.29molLi_3P

Thus, we infer that just 0.29 moles of 0.73 react to form products; which means that the mass of formed products is:

m_{Li_2O}=0.29molLi_3P*\frac{3molLi_2O}{2molLi_3P} *\frac{29.88gLi_2O}{1molLi_2O} =13gLi_2O\\\\m_{AlP}=0.29molLi_3P*\frac{2molAlP}{2molLi_3P} *\frac{57.95gAlP}{1molAlP} =8.5gAlP

Therefore, the total mass of products is:

m_{products}=13g+8.5g\\\\m_{products}=21.5g

Which is not the same to the reactants (53 g) because there is an excess of Li₃P.

Best Regards!

How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom that has an atomic mass of 36 and an atomic number of 25?
elixir [45]

Answer:

Neutrons = 11

Explanation:

To get the number of neurons an element has you have to subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass of that element.

The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of that element.

Atomic number = Number of Protons

So the number of protons is 25

Neutrons = Atomic mass - Number of Protons

Neutrons = 36 - 25

Neutrons = 11
