For the atom to be neutral, it must have the same number of electrons and protons. The aromic number indicates the number of protons. Since Carbon has 6 protons, it would have to have 6 electrons for it to be neutral

The correct answer is B. 6

Explanation:

Each atom of an element is composed of a certain amount of protons, electrons, and neutrons. In the case of electrons, the number of electrons is the same as the protons in the case of atoms that are neutrally charged. Additionally, the atomic number of an atom indicated the number of electrons in it and the atomic mass the number of electrons and protons together.

This means by knowing the number of protons which in this case is 6 (Atomic number) and the atomic mass which is 12 it is possible to determine the number of electrons. Either because the number of electrons is the same that the number of atoms which means is 6 or the atomic mass minus the protons are the number of electrons, which is also 6 (12-6 = 6).

Iodine pentafluoride reacts slowly with glass and violently with water. determine its molecular mass.
pickupchik [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

               221.90 g.mol⁻¹

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                          The mass of contained by a molecule is known as molecular mass. It is the sum of atomic weights of the elements contained by the molecule. In given case Iodine Pentafluoride has a chemical formula,

                                                          IF₅

The atomic weights of each element are as;

                                        Iodine  =  126.90 g.mol⁻¹

                                        Fluorine  =  19.00 g.mol⁻¹

As there are five atoms of Fluorine so, we will multiply the atomic weight of Fluorine by five and that of Iodine by one as there is only one Iodine atom.

Therefore,

         Molecular Mass of IF₅  =  (1 × 126.90 g.mol⁻¹) + (5 × 19.00 g.mol⁻¹)

         Molecular Mass of IF₅  =  (126.90 g.mol⁻¹) + (95.00 g.mol⁻¹)

         Molecular Mass of IF₅  =  221.90 g.mol⁻¹

A gas is collected at 25.0 °C and 755.0 mm Hg. When the temperature is
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

691.7 mmHg is the resulting pressure

Explanation:

Tha Gay-Lussac's law states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature under constant volume. The equation is:

P1T2 = P2T1

<em>Where P is pressure and T asbolute temperature of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas.</em>

<em />

Computing the values of the problem:

T1 = 273 + 25 = 298K

P1 = 755.0mmHg

T2 = 273 + 0 = 273K

P2 = ?

755.0mmHg*273K = P2*298K

<h3>691.7 mmHg is the resulting pressure</h3>
