Answer:
1.5 moles
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is given as:
2 MnO2 + 4 KOH + O2 --> 2KMnO 4 + 2KOH + H2
From the equation,
2 moles of MnO2 produces 2 moles of KMnO4
x moles of MnO2 would produce 1.5 moles of KMnO4
2 = 2
x = 1.5
Solving for x;
x = 1.5 * 2 / 2
x = 1.5 moles
Answer:
Valence electrons are involved in Reaction B but not in Reaction A.
Explanation:
The description of reaction A in which protons are lost or gained by the atom of the element is a nuclear reaction. In nuclear reactions, the nucleons which are the protons and neutrons drives the reaction. No valence electrons in the orbiting shells are involved in this kind of reaction. During this type of reaction, an atom changes it identity to that of another.
Reaction B in which no identity change occurs is a chemical reaction. In chemical reactions bonds are formed by the atoms using the valence electrons that orbits round the central nucleus. The atoms remain the same but it chose to attain stability and an inert configuration by losing or gaining electrons.
An electric current can be carried through a metal by the free flow of the shared electrons.
Answer:
15 neutrons
Explanation:
the atomic mass shows the amount of neutrons and protons added together
the atomic number shows us how many protons they are (you can also find out how many electrons a element has by looking at its atomic number as it will have the same amount of protons)
so to find the amount of neutrons the sample has you have you subtract the atomic number which is the amount of protons from the mass number which tells us the amount of neutrons and protons added together but we only need the neutrons that's why we subtract it
33-18=15
