Answer:

20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Explanation:

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:

20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Calculate the mass of nitrogen dissolved at room temperature in an 95.0 LL home aquarium. Assume a total pressure of 1.0 atmatm
harina [27]

Answer:

86.3 g  of N₂ are in the room

Explanation:

First of all we need the pressure from the N₂ in order to apply the Ideal Gases Law and determine, the moles of gas that are contained in the room.

We apply the mole fraction:

Mole fraction N₂ = N₂ pressure / Total pressure

0.78 . 1 atm = 0.78 atm → N₂ pressure

Room temperature → 20°C → 20°C + 273 = 293K

Let's replace data: 0.78 atm . 95L = n . 0.082 . 293K

(0.78 atm . 95L) /0.082 . 293K = n

3.08 moles = n

Let's convert the moles to mass → 3.08 mol . 28g /1mol = 86.3 g
