The number of neutrons in an atom is the number of particles present in its nucleus.
The atomic number is the number of protons whereas the mass number is the number of protons and number of neutrons together
This implies that the number of neutrons is the atom's mass number
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Applying law of electrostatic which states that like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other
N and S are unlike charges that turn and make the former repulsive force (due to two like charges N and N)to <em>reduce</em> and attractive force between N and S to <em>increa</em><em>se</em>
Answer:
204.5505 grams
2.5666 moles
Explanation:
For the first question, multiply 3.5 (# of moles) by 58.443 (g/mol for NaCl).
58.443 * 3.5
<em>I'll distribute 3.5 into 58.443.</em>
(3.5 * 50) + (3.5 * 8) + (3.5 * 0.4) + (3.5 * 0.04) + (3.5 * 0.003)
175 + 28 + 1.4 + 0.14 + 0.0105
203 + 1.4 + 0.14 + 0.0105
204.4 + 0.14 + 0.0105
204.54 + 0.0105
204.5505 grams
There are 204.5505 grams in 3.5 moles of NaCl.
For the second question, divide 150 (# of grams) by 58.443 (g/mol for NaCl). I'll convert both into fractions.
150/1 * 1000/58443
150000/58443
2.56660336 moles
2.5666 moles (rounded to 4 places to keep consistency with the first answer) are in 150 grams of NaCl.
