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

1 answer:

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.

What is the molar mass of water (H2O)?

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The molar mass is: 18.02 g/mol.

Explanation:

Mass of two moles of Hydrogen atoms (H2) = 2x 1 g/mol = 2 g/mol.

Mass of one mole of water (H2O) = 2 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 18 g/mol.

1 mole of Hydrogen= 1.01, so if we have 2 moles of it here, that would be 2.02.

1 mole of Oxygen (that's all we have here)= 16.00

Once you add the two together (2.02+16.00), you will get 18.02.

I hope this made sense! Have a great day!

If the heat capacity of a ceramic cup is 0.820 j°c-1, how much heat is required to raise the temperature of the cup from 25.0°c

Aleksandr [31]

The heat required to raise the temperature of the cup from 25 c to 50 c is calculated as follows
Q (heat) = c x delta T
c = specific heat capacity = 0. 820 j/c
delta T = change in temperature ( 50 c- 25 c = 25c

= 0.820 j /c x 25 c = 20.5 j
