Chemistry

MariettaO [177]3 years ago
6 0
The atomic mass of an element is the sum of the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Because electron mass is virtualy none it contributes to very little of an element's mass.

Thus the atomic mass is the sum of the number of electrons and protons. 

Therefore the number of neutrons can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass

How many moles of oxygen are in 52.5 grams of oxygen gas?
adell [148]
An oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule which means that each molecule is composed of 2 atoms. Its symbol is O2. 

Each oxygen atom has a molar mass of 16 g/mol. The molar mass of oxygen gas is calculated below,
                         molar mass = 2 x (16 g/mol) = 32 g/mol

To determine the number of moles in 52.5 grams of oxygen, divide the given mass by the calculated molar mass.
 
                                 n = 52.5 grams / (32 gram/ mol)
                                     n = 1.64 moles

Thus, there are 1.64 moles of oxygen gas.
