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

Chemistry
1 answer:
lara31 [8.8K]3 years ago
6 0
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.

Can somebody explain step by step how to solve decomposition reactions?
SVEN [57.7K]
A decomposition reaction occurs when one reactant breaks down into two or more products. It can be represented by the general equation:

AB → A + B
In this equation, AB represents the reactant that begins the reaction, and A and B represent the products of the reaction. The arrow shows the direction in which the reaction occurs.

A particular voltaic cell operates with the reaction: Zn(s)+Cl2(g)--->Zn^2+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq) giving a cell potential of .853 V.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The amount of energy liberated will be 49.38 J.

Explanation:

The amount of energy liberated (gibbs free energy) can be calculated using the following equation:

ΔG° = -nFε

n: amount of moles of electrons transfered

F: Faraday's constant

ε: cell potential

20.0 g of Zn is equal to 0.30 mol.

Two electrons are transfered during the reaction.

Therefore, n = 2x0.30 ∴ n = 0.60

ΔG° = - 0.60 x 96.485 x 0.853

ΔG° = 49.38 J

What is the pressure in a 24.0-LL cylinder filled with 32.7 gg of oxygen gas at a temperature of 319 KK? Express your answer to
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The pressure in that cylinder = 1.12atm

Explanation:

We use general gas law to calculate it. General gas law is gotten by combining Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro's law. Thus

P = nRT/V

Where n = number of moles

R = the gas constant

T is the Temperature, V is the volume and P is the pressure.

Given: T = 319K, V = 24L, R = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

The first step is to find n using

n = mass of O2/molar mass of O2

=32.7/32

=1.0219

Now, using P =nRT/V

P = 1.0219 ×0.0821×319÷24

Therefore P = 1.12atm
