Answer: proton number = 16

Electron number =16

Neutron number =16

Explanation: Mass number = 32

Atomic number = 16

atomic number = proton number = 16.

Since the atom is neutral, proton number is the same as electron number i.e Electron number = proton number =16

Mass number = proton + Neutron

32 = 16 + Neutron

Neutron = 32 — 16 = 16

On average, Earth’s crust contains about 8.1% aluminum by mass. If a standard 12-ounce soft drink can contains approximately 15

MrMuchimi

Answer:

5400 cans

Explanation:

First we convert the total weight, 1 ton, to grams:

$1ton=1x10^{6}g$

Now we need to know the mass of aluminum:

$m_{Al}=\frac{10^{6}*8.1}{100} =81000g$

Now we make the relation between the mass of aluminum in 1 ton of the earth's crust and the mass of aluminum per can:

$n=\frac{81000g}{15g/can} =5400cans$
