Explanation:

It is known that an atom consists of protons, neutrons and electrons. Both protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus of an atom whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus.

Atomic number is the total number of protons present in an atom. On the other hand, atomic mass is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

That is, Atomic mass = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = atomic mass - no. of protons

Therefore, we can conclude that to find the number of neutrons in an atom, subtract its number of protons from atomic mass.

What happens to ice as it melts energy

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Energy is added (postive enthalpy)

Explanation:

Ice melting means solid turns into liquid. Solid is more stable than liquid thus you must put in energy to weaken the forces of solid and turn it into liquid. Thus, you must put in energy to melt ice. This makes the enthalpy of the system to be positive.

How would you know if a precipitate was formed without performing the chemical reaction

Goshia [24]

Hey there

Thats easy

Precipitation occurs when cations and anions in aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble ionic compound called precipitation. So, you can refer to a solubility chart or draw polar/nonpolar lewis structures, that might be helpful.
Remember water is polar so polar molecules will dissolve in water

Please help!!!!!<br> Please help!!!!!

lesantik [10]

Answer:

1.B

2.A

3. B

Explanation:

1. A chemical bond is the physical phenomenon of chemical substances being held together by attraction of atoms to each other through sharing

2. so 2 is electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.meaning the answer is A

3. is When atoms combine by forming covalent bonds, the resulting collection of atoms is called a molecule. We can therefore say that a molecule is the simplest unit of a covalent compound.

VashaNatasha [74]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

In the Haber reaction, patented by German chemist Fritz Haber in 1908, dinitrogen gas combines with dihydrogen gas to produce gaseous ammonia. This reaction is now the first step taken to make most of the world's fertilizer. Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the Haber reaction finds that 348 liters per second of dinitrogen are consumed when the reaction is run at 205°C and 0.72 atm. Calculate the rate at which ammonia is being produced.

Answer:

The rate of production of ammonia is 217.08 grams per second.

Explanation:

$N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3$

Volume of dinitrogen used in a second = 348 L

Temperature of the gas = T = 205°C = 205+273 K = 478 K

Pressure of the gas = P = 0.72 atm

Moles of dinitrogen = n

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.72 atm\times 348 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 478 K}=6.385 mol$

According to reaction, 1 mole of dinitriogen gives 2 mole of ammonia.Then 6.385 moles of dinitrogen will give:

$\frac{2}{1}\times 6.385 mol=12.769 mol$

Mass of 12.769 moles of ammonia;

12.769 mol 17 g/mol = 217.08 g

217.08 grams of ammonia is produced per second.So, the rate of production of ammonia is 217.08 grams per second.
