Protons= 88

Neutrons= 138.

The weight of an element is comprised of entirely protons and neutrons. To get the protons look at the atomic number on the periodic table (88) and those are your protons. To get the neutrons take the weight of the isotope that you have and subtract the protons, giving you 138.

which of these is an example of a chemical change A breaking glass B mealting ice on a windshield C burning gasoline D denting a
Nonamiya [84]

Lets do process of elimination!

A. Breaking glass - That is a psychical change because if you break it, it is still glass. It didn't change to another substance.

B. Melting ice on a windshield - During the melting process, there is no chemical change, and therefore, no new substance is created.  

C. Burning gasoline - When gas burns it usually combines with oxygen to give carbon dioxide, water etc.  It is a chemical change.

D. Denting a bumper - The bumper is still a bumper, only thing is it has a dent in it. The properties did not change, meaning no chemical change.

Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic number tell us the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. in other words ,each element has a unique number that identifies how many protons are in one atom of that element example, all hydrogen atoms, and only hydrogen atoms, contain one proton and have an atomic number of 1.

An oxide of aluminum contains 0.545 g of Al and 0.485 g of O. Find the empirical formula
uysha [10]

Answer:

The answer is: <u>Al2O3</u>

Explanation:

The data they give us is:

  • 0.545 gr Al
  • 0.485 gr O.

To find the empirical formula without knowing the grams of the compound, we find it per mole:

  • 0.545 g Al * 1 mol Al / 27 g Al = 0.02 mol Al
  • 0.485 g O * 1 mol O / 16 g O = 0.03 mol O

Then we must divide the results obtained by the lowest result, which in this case is 0.02:

  • 0.02 mol Al / 0.02 = 1  Al
  • 0.03 mol O / 0.02 = 1.5  O

Since both numbers have to give an integer, multiply by 2 until both remain integers:

  • 1Al * 2 = 2Al
  • 1.5O * 2 = 3O

Now the answer is given correctly:

  • Al2O3
