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.
Answer:
Explanation:
Method 1 proportion
1 mole of chromium is 52 grams
11.9 moles = x grams
1/11.9 = 52/x Cross multiply
x = 11.9 * 52
x = 618.8 grams
Now I have used an approximate mass for Chromium. The answer you get here is expected to reflect the weigth given on your periodic table Use that to get your answer. You should give a number very close to mine. Round to 3 places as in 619.
Method Two Formula
mols = given mass / molecular mass
11.9 = given mass / 51.9961 Multiply both sides by 51.9961
11.9 *51.9961 = given mass
given mass = 618.75
given mass = 619
Answer: amu
Explanation: it stands for atomic mass unit and it is the measurement that’s used to measure the mass of atoms
