Answer:

Mass of sodium carbonate = 33.92 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium hydroxide = 38 g

Mass of carbon = 28 g

Mass of sodium carbonate produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

6NaOH + 2C → 2Na + 3H₂ + 2Na₂CO₃

Now will calculate the number of moles of reactants:

Number of moles of sodium hydroxide:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 38 g/ 40 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.95 mol

Number of moles of carbon:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 28 g/ 16 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.75 mol

Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with sodium carbonate.

                         C           :         Na₂CO₃

                         2           :           2

                       1.75         :         1.75

                  NaOH          :       Na₂CO₃      

                    6               :           2

                     0.95       :           2/6×0.95 = 0.32  

Number of moles of sodium carbonate produced by sodium hydroxide are less so it will limiting reactant.

Mass of sodium carbonate:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.32 mol × 106 g/mol

Mass = 33.92 g

An atom of chlorine with a mass number of 37 contains __ protons and __ neutrons.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Its in the Explanation

Explanation:

Here's what I got.

Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to  

27

.

Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminum, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.

The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminum has an atomic number equal to  

13

.

This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminum will have  

13

protons in its nucleus.

Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.

Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have  

13

electrons surrounding its nucleus.

Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have

mass number

=

no. of protons

+

no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = 27 − 13 = 14

Your welcome :)
