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.

What volume (in milliliters) of oxygen gas is required to react with 4.03 g of Mg at STP?
BigorU [14]
Mg reaction with O₂ gas will produce MgO so the equation will be
2Mg+O₂⇒2MgO. (You have to find the equation in order two figure out the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 1 mole of MgO).

The first step is to find the number of moles of Mg in 4.03g of Mg.  You can do this by dividing 4.03g Mg by its molar mass (which is 24.3g/mol) to get 0.1658mol Mg.  Then you have to find the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 0.1658mol Mg.  To do this you need to use the fact that 1mol O₂ will react with 2mol Mg (this reatio is from the chemical equation) so you have to multiply 0.1658mol Mg by (1mol O₂)/(2mol Mg) to get 0.0829mol O₂.  From here you would usually use PV=nRT and solve for V However, the question tells us that we are at STP, that means you can use the fact that 22.4L of gas is 1 mol of gas at STP.  Using that information we can find the volume of O₂ gas by mulitlying 0.0829mol O₂ by 22.4L/mol to get 1.857L which equals 1857mL.
therefore, 1857mL of O₂ gas will react with 4.03g of Mg.

I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

How many molecules are contained in 0.800 mol o2?
Ksenya-84 [330]
Multiply .800 moles of O2 by Avagadro's number divided by 1 mole. This will get rid of the moles on the bottom and leave you with molecules. So technically .800 times 6.02x10^23.
