120 neutrons are present in mercury
vivado [14]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

120 neutrons

Explanation:

Mercury has an atomic number of 80. The atomic number (Z) represents the number of protons. Then,

Z = p⁺ = 80

Mercury has a mass number of 200. The mass number (A) represents the sum of protons and neutrons. Then,

A = p⁺ + n° = 200

We can establish that,

A = Z + n°

n° = A - Z

n° = 200 - 80 = 120

How many grams of NaCl (molecular weight = 58.4 g mole-1) would you dissolve in water to make a total volume of 500 mL of soluti
kolezko [41]

Given :

Volume , V = 500 mL .

Molarity , M = 0.5 M .

Molecular mass of NaCl is 58.4\ g/mole .

To Find :

How many grams of NaCl is required .

Solution :

Let , NaCl required is x gram .

Molarity is given by :

M=\dfrac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume (in liters) }}\\\\M=\dfrac{m}{M\times V}\\\\0.5=\dfrac{x}{58.4\times 0.5}\\\\x=0.5^2\times 58.4\ g\\\\x=14.6\ g

Hence , this is the required solution.
