Answer:

There are 10 neutrons in this atom of an element.

Explanation:

Atomic mass of an element = 20

Atomic mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Atomic number of an element = 10

Atomic number is the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

Number of protons = 10

Atomic Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

20 = 10 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 10

There are 10 neutrons in this atom of an element.

How many moles are there in 3.612 x 1024 formula units of Na2SO4?

vitfil [10]

Answer:

<h3>Theanswer is 6 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

$n = \frac{N}{L} \\$

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

$n = \frac{3.612 \times {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } \\$

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

C. Chemical energy. What is the difference in chemical energy between organic and inorganic

Olenka [21]

There are chief differences between organic and inorganic compounds. ... The main difference is in the presence of a carbon atom; organic compounds will contain a carbon atom (and often a hydrogen atom, to form hydrocarbons), while almost all inorganic compounds do not contain either of those two atoms.
