Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number is the sum of only total number of protons present in an element. Whereas mass number or atomic mass is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.

For example, given atom has atomic number is 8.  And, it is known that atomic mass of O is 16 g/mol.

Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.

                    Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                         16 = 8 + no. of neutrons

                    no. of neutrons = 16 - 8  

                                               = 8

Hence, we can conclude that in the given isotope of oxygen-16 there are 8 protons and 8 neutrons.

2Na3N3 -&gt; 2Na + 3N2<br><br> if 0.58 mol if NaN3 reacts, what mass of nitrogen would result
Ronch [10]

Answer:

                      Mass = 24.36 g of N₂

Explanation:

                   The balance chemical equation for the decomposition of NaNO₃ is as follow;

                                           2 NaN₃ → 2 Na + 3 N₂

Step 1: Find moles of N₂ as;

According to equation,

                 2 moles of NaNO₃ produces  =  3 moles of N₂

So,

              0.58 moles of NaNO₃ will produce  =  X moles of N₂

Solving for X,

                      X = 3 mol × 0.58 mol / 2 mol

                      X = 0.87 mol of N₂

Step 2: Calculate mass of N₂ as,

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.87 mol × 28.01 g/mol

Mass = 24.36 g of N₂
