An element’s atomic number is equal to the number of protons in that element’s nucleus. The mass number is the total number of an atom’s protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge; electrons have a negative charge; and neutrons are electrically neutral.

Putting it all together, given that the atomic number of lead is 82, the number of protons a lead atom contains is 82. The number of neutrons would be the difference between 207 and 82, or 125 neutrons. Finally, since you have a neutral atom, there must be an equal number of electrons as the number of protons—that is, 82 electrons.

Thus, you’ve got 82 protons, 125 neutrons, and 82 electrons.

Given the reaction: solid sodium reacts with chlorine gas to form solid sodium chloride How many moles of the product result fro
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 mol

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to write the chemical equation of the reaction and balance it .

Na(s) + Cl2(g) → NaCl(s)

The balanced equation is as follows:

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)

1 mole(71 g) of chlorine produces 2 moles(117  g) of sodium chloride

6 mole of chlorine gas will produce ? mole of sodium chloride

cross multiply

number of moles of NaCl produce = 6 × 2

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 moles

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 mol
