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.

Whitney's lung capacity was measured as 3.3 l at a body temperature of 37 ∘c and a pressure of 746 mmhg . how many moles of oxyg
myrzilka [38]

the ideal gas equation is PV=nRT  
 where P=pressure  
 V=Volume  
 n=no. of moles  
 R=universal gas constant  
 T=temperature  
 The universal gas constant (R) is 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K    
 a pressure of 746 mmhg =0.98 atm= 1 atm (approx)   
 T=37 degrees Celsius =37+273=310 K (convert it to Kelvin by adding 273)    
 V=0.7 L (only getting oxygen, get 21% of 3.3L)    
 Solution:  
 (1 atm)(0.7 L)=n(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)(310 K)  
 0.7 L*atm=n(25.451 L*atm/mol)  
 n=0.0275 mole   
 Answer:   
n=0.0275 mole of oxygen in the lungs.

Pure magnesium metal is often found as ribbons and can easily burn in the presence of oxygen. When 3.97 g of magnesium ribbon bu
taurus [48]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation is given as:

2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)

Explanation:

When magnesium metal burns in presence of oxygen it gives white color powdered compound called magnesium oxide.

The balanced chemical equation is given as:

2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)

According to reaction, 2 moles of magnesium metal when reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas it gives 2 moles of  solid magnesium oxide.

Determine whether each of the molecules below is polar or nonpolar. Tetrahedral C C l 4 CClX4 Nonpolar Tetrahedral C H 3 O H CHX
liraira [26]

Answer:

CCl4 - Nonpolar

CH3OH - polar

NH3 - polar

CS2 - Nonpolar

Explanation:

One important thing that we should know is that polarity has to do with the presence of a resultant dipole moment in a molecule.

Dipole moment is a vector quantity, This means that its direction is also taken into account when discussing the dipole moment of molecules.

Hence, symmetrical molecules such as CS2 and CCl4 are non-polar even though they have polar bonds because their dipoles cancel out(zero resultant dipole moment).

On the other hand, NH3 and CH3OH are non-symmetrical molecules hence they possess an overall dipole moment and are polar molecules.
