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.

A stock solution of ammonia in water is 28 wt% NH3. The Formal Weight (FW) of NH3 is 17.03 g/mol). The solution density at room
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

[NH₃] = 14.7 mol/L

Explanation:

28 wt% is a type of concentration that indicates that 28 g of ammonia is contained in 100 g of solution.

Let's determine the amount of ammonia:

28 g . 1 mol / 17.03g = 1.64 moles of NH₃

You need to consider that, when you have density's data it is always referred to solution:

Mass of solution is 100 g, let's find out the volume

0.90 g/mL = 100 g /V

V = 100 g / 0.90mL/g → 111.1 mL

We convert the volume to L → 111.1 mL . 1 L/1000mL = 0.1111 L

mol/L = 1.64 mol/0.1111L → 14.7 M

mol/L = M → molarity a sort of concentration that indicates the moles of solute in 1L of solution
