How many protons and electrons are present in a barium atom?

Chemistry

To solve this problem, we can look it up on the periodic table.

Barium has a mass number of 56, also the 56th element on the table. Mass number actually is equal to the number of protons, proton number of an element is like an ID card number, which no other elements have the same. So, the number of protons is 56.

Electrons of an atom equals to the number of proton too. So the number of electrons of barium atom is also 56. If the number of electrons is changed, the atom is no longer an atom, it'll become ions.

So yes, both answer is 56.

il63 [147K]

Answer:

25.0g is the mass of sulfur

Explanation:

The sulfur and the oxygen are 50:50. That means there is 1 mole of S per mole of O.

To solve this question we need to convert the mass of O to moles, as moles of O = Moles of S, we can find the moles of S and its mass:

<em>Moles O = Moles S:</em>

12.5g O * (1mol / 16g) = 0.781 moles

<em>Mass S:</em>

0.781 moles * (32g / mol) =

<h3>25.0g is the mass of sulfur</h3>

Answer:

A. a rotten potato gives all of bad smell

Explanation:

B,C,D are all physical changes because we can reverse them back.we can cool the water back to make ice. if the wind passes again we can randomly get the same cloud shape in c. and in d we can make that statue again. but in A can we reverse the rotting process ? ( the enzyme reaction) no we cant because it is a chemical reaction it gives a bad smell because of the chemical changes occuring in it.

hope this helps
