The number of _______ in an atom of an element is the element's atomic number

Chemistry

const2013 [10]3 years ago
5 0
The number of protons in an atom is the atom's atomic number.
In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
There is possibility of losing the electrons, but the number of protons are not loosed, except in nuclear chemistry.
So the number of protons is equal to the atom's atomic number.

Iron has a density of 7.86 g/cm3. Calculate the volume (in dL) of a piece of iron having a mass of 4.79 kg .
Kazeer [188]
M = 4.79 kg = 4790 g
d = 7.86 g/cm3
density = mass/volume
v = m/d
v = 4790/7.86
v = 609.4 cm3
1 cm3 = 10^-2 dL

v = 609.4 x 0.01 = 6.09 dL

14.7 grams of magnesium reacts completely with 9.7 grams of oxygen to form magnesium oxide (MgO). What is the percent compositio
swat32
The answer is 60.3% magnesium, 39.7% oxygen.
Solution:
The chemical equation for the reaction is 2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO.
Since magnesium reacts completely with oxygen, it is the limiting reactant in the reaction. Hence, we can use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of MgO produced:
     moles of magnesium = 14.7g / 24.305g mol-1
                                       = 0.6048 mol

     mass of MgO = 0.6048mol Mg(2 mol MgO/2mol Mg)(40.3044g MgO/1 mol MgO) 
                           = 24.376g MgO

We can now solve for the percentage of magnesium:
     % Mg = (14.7g Mg / 24.376g MgO)*100% = 60.3%

We also use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of oxygen consumed in the reaction:
     mass of O2 =  0.6048 mol Mg (1mol O2 / 2mol Mg) (31.998g / 1mol O2) 
                        = 9.676g

The percentage of oxygen is therefore
     % O2 = (9.676g O2 / 24.376g MgO)*100%
               = 39.7%
Notice that we can just subtract the magnesium's percentage from 100% to get 
     % O2 = 100% - 60.3% = 39.7%

Why are fibers birefringent
horrorfan [7]

Inevitable manufacturing imperfections in optical fiber leads to birefringence, which is one cause of pulse broadening in fiber-optic communications. Such imperfections can be geometrical (lack of circular symmetry), due to stress applied to the optical fiber and/or due to bending of the fiber.
