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

A student is asked to standardize a solution of potassium hydroxide. He weighs out 1.08 g potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC8H4O4
natka813 [3]

Answer:

A. 0.143 M

B. 0.0523 M

Explanation:

A.

Let's consider the neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP).

KOH + KHC₈H₄O₄ → H₂O + K₂C₈H₄O₄

The molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 1.08 g are:

1.08 g × (1 mol/204.22 g) = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol

The molar ratio of KOH to KHC₈H₄O₄ is 1:1. The reacting moles of KOH are 5.28 × 10⁻³ moles.

5.28 × 10⁻³ moles of KOH occupy a volume of 36.8 mL. The molarity of the KOH solution is:

M = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol / 0.0368 L = 0.143 M

B.

Let's consider the neutralization of potassium hydroxide and perchloric acid.

KOH + HClO₄ → KClO₄ + H₂O

When the molar ratio of acid (A) to base (B) is 1:1, we can use the following expression.

M_{A} \times V_{A} = M_{B} \times V_{B}\\M_{A} = \frac{M_{B} \times V_{B}}{V_{A}} \\M_{A} = \frac{0.143 M \times 10.1mL}{27.6mL}\\M_{A} =0.0523 M

Question 7-Which of the following is not an acid-base neutralization reaction?
docker41 [41]

Answer:- It is choice D. H_2SO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow 2HCl+Na_2SO_4

Explanations:- In general, a neutralization reaction is the reaction of an acid with base to form salt and water.

in first reaction the reaction is taking place between ammonia(a base) and hydrochloric acid(an acid) to form their salt(ammonium chloride). So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In second reaction, sodium hydroxide(a base) is reacting with acetic acid(an acid) to form their salt(sodium acetate) and water. So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In third reaction, Nitric acid is reacting with calcium hydroxide(a base) to form a salt(calcium nitrate) and water. So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In fourth reaction, sulfuruc acid is reacting a sodium chloride(a salt) to give a double replacement reaction. It is not an acid-base neutralization reaction as it's not taking place between an acid and base.

So, the correct choice is D. H_2SO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow 2HCl+Na_2SO_4
