How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 30 and its mass number is 70?

Chemistry

Yanka [14]3 years ago

The answer is 40.

We can solve this by finding out the number of protons, and neutrons. Atomic number of an element means the number of protons in that element. So, the atom has 30 protons if the atomic number is 30.

On the other hand, mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons, but not electrons, because they're too light comparing to the other 2. Therefore, we can simply solve the number of neutrons in the atom by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. 70 - 30 = 40.

Therfore, the number of neutrons is 40.

Determine the mass of 5.20 moles of c6h12
Gwar [14]
Mass is equal to moles x molar mass, and the molar mass of C6H12 is 84, therefore the mass is 436.8 g, but 437 rounded to correct significant figures

2Al(s) + Fe2O3(s) → Al2O3(s) + 2Fe(s) T
brilliants [131]

Answer:

ΔHrxn = [(1) -1675.5 ( kJ/mole) + (2) 0 ( kJ/mole)] - [(1) -824.3 ( kJ/mole) + (2) 0 ( kJ/mole)]

Explanation:

ΔHrxn = 2ΔHf (Al₂O₃)  - ΔHf (Fe₂O₃)

Remember that for pure elements in their standard state of temperature and pressure by definition their standard heats of formation are zero.

ΔHrxn = 2(-1675.7) - (-824.3) kJ/mol

ΔHrxn = 2527 kJ/mol

In general, the atomic radius of an atom _______ as you move down a column in the periodic table? increases decreases increases
Tom [10]
Tomic radius INCREASES as you go DOWN a Group because each successive Period (row) has an additional occupied energy level. you can think of it this way: each time you drop down a row, you add a "ring."
