The total atomic number must be the same on each side. The total mass number must be the same on both side.

On the RHS, for the mass number, we have 257 + 4 = 261 (the 4 comes from the 4 neutrons). That means the mass number of the missing piece on the LHS is 261 - 247 = 14. 

One the RHS, for the atomic number we have a total of 104 since the 4 neutrons are all neutral. On the LHS, we have this: 104 - 98 = 6. 

The missing piece is a nucleus of carbon 14. Done in your style, it is 14/6C

Answer: the missing nucleus is an isotope of oxygen 18/8 O

Explanation:

Since the reacting mass must be equal to the resulting mass

That is right hand side must be equal to the left

We check the total number of reacting moles in the equation

On the right hand we have 267/106

On the left hand side we have 249+x/98+x

Equation both we have

249+ x/98+y = 267/106

Therefore x = 18

y = 8

This is an isotope of oxygen

Pavel [41]

NH₃:

N = 8*10²²
NA = 6.02*10²³

n = N/NA = 8*10²²/6.02*10²³ ≈ 1.33*10⁻¹=0.133mol

O₂:

N=7*10²²
NA = 6.02*10²³

n = N/NA = 7*10²²/6.02*10²³ = 1.16*10⁻¹=0.116mol

4NH₃ + 3O₂ ⇒ 2N₂ + 6H₂O
4mol : 3mol : 2mol
0.133mol : 0.116mol : 0,0665mol
limiting reactant

N₂:

n = 0.0665mol
M = 28g/mol

m = n*M = 0.0665mol*28g/mol = 1,862g

Answer:

Question 19: the three are molecular compounds.

Question 20: CuSO₄.5H₂O

Explanation:

Question 19.

C₂H₄

H₂O₂

All of them are the combination of two kinds of different atoms in fixed proportions.

C₂H₄: two carbon atoms per four hydrogen atoms

HF: one hydrogen atom per one fluorine atom

H₂O₂: two hydrogen atoms per two oxygent atoms

Thus, they all meet the definition of compund: a pure substance formed by two or more different elements with a definite composition.

Molecular compounds are formed by covalent bonds and ionic compounds are formed by ionic bonds.

Two non-metal elements, like H-F, C - C, C - H, H-O, H - H, and O - O will share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their valence shell. Thus, the three compounds are molecular and not ionic.

Question 20. Formula of copper(II) sulfate hydrate with 36.0% water.

Copper(II) sulfate is CuSO₄. Its molar mass is 159.609g/mol

Water is H₂O. Its molar mass is 18.015g/mol

Calling x the number of water molecules in the hydrate, the percentage of water is:

$\dfrac{18.015x}{18.015x+159.609}=36\%\\ \\ \\ \dfrac{18.015x}{18.015x+159.609}=0.36$

From which we can solve for x:

$18.015x=6.4854x+57.45924\\ \\ 11.5296x=57.45924\\ \\ x\approx4.98\approx5$

Thus, there are 5 molecules of water per each unit of CuSO₄, and the formula is:

CuSO₄.5H₂O
