An iron isotope has an atomic mass of 55. how many neutrons does this iron isotope have?

1 answer:

7 0

If the number of neutrons are changed in an atom, it makes an isotope of that atom. In an atom number of protons is equal to number of electrons.
we can find the number of neutrons by subtracting atomic number from the mass of an atom.
here atomic mass of iron isotope is 55 and we know from periodic table that atomic number of iron is 26 so 55 -26 = 29
there are 29 neutrons.

Answer: The coefficient of carbon in the chemical reaction is 1.

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of tin (IV) oxide and carbon follows:

$SnO_2+C\rightarrow Sn+CO_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of tin (IV) oxide reacts with carbon to produce 1 mole of elemental tin and carbon dioxide.

Hence, the coefficient of carbon in the chemical reaction is 1.

Flura [38]

Answer:

2 CH2 + 3 O2 = 2 CO2 + 2 H2O

Explanation:

This is what I think that you meant by the question listed. When balancing a chemical equation, you want to make sure that there are equal amounts of each element on each side.

Originally, the equation's elements looked like this: 1 C on left & 1 C on right; 2 H on left & 2 H on right; 2 O on left and 3 O on right. Because these are not balanced, you need to add coefficients.

When adding coefficients, you need to make sure that all of the elements stay balanced, not just one that you are trying to fix. I know that some equations are really difficult to balance, and when that is the case, there are equation balancing websites that can help out.

However, what always helps me is making a chart and continuing to keep up with the changes I am making. It is a trial and error process.
