Answer:

Lithium has 4 neutrons

Explanation:

The number shown above the lithium symbol (Li) is the mass number.

The mass number (A) represents the protons and neutrons an atom has.

The atomic number(Z) in the other hand represents the protons only.

So, the difference between this two numbers is the amount of neutrons.

$n_{neutrons}=A-Z=7-3=4$

During the chemical reaction given below 21.71 grams of each reagent were allowed to react. Determine how many grams of the exce

swat32

Answer: 16.32 g of $O_2$ as excess reagent are left.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of} SO_2=\frac{21.71g}{64g/mol}=0.34mol$

$\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{21.71g}{32g/mol}=0.68mol$

$2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)$

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of $SO_2$ require = 1 mole of $O_2$

Thus 0.34 moles of $SO_2$ will require= $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.34=0.17moles$ of $O_2$

Thus $SO_2$ is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and $O_2$ is the excess reagent.

Moles of $O_2$ left = (0.68-0.17) mol = 0.51 mol

Mass of $O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.51moles\times 32g/mol=16.32g$

Thus 16.32 g of $O_2$ as excess reagent are left.

*WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!<br> Why is it difficult for us to use fusion reactions to produce energy?

kolbaska11 [484]

Fusion occurs constantly on our sun, which produces most of its energy via the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. Neither do fusion reactions produce the large amounts of dangerous radioactive waste that fission reactions do. That's why it's such a dreamy source of energy.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Sue was not right as wood is not a heat conductor and will not allow heat to pass through the spoon thus keeping the hand safe. In a meatal spoon, heat can pass through and burn the hand as meatal is a good conductor of heat.
