How many protons neutrons and electrons does an electrically neutral atom of nickel have?

1 answer:

5 0

Since nickles atomicnumber is 28, that means it has 28 protons, which are positively charged. To cancel out the positive charge and make it nuetral, there isalso 28 electrons which are negatively charged.

Nickel has 31 neutrons because an atoms mass is the number of protons + neutrons. The # of protons is 28. The mass # is 59. So, there are 31 neutrons.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Explanation:

${\rm ?\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Among the four species in this reaction, $\rm C_3H_8$ is species with the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of this compound is $1$ .

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Number of atoms on the left-hand side of the reaction:

$\rm C$ : $1 \times 3 = 3$ .
$\rm H$ : $1 \times 8 = 8$ .
$\rm O$ : not found yet.

By the conservation of atoms, the number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction should match those on the left-hand side. In this reaction, $\rm CO_2$ is the only product with carbon atoms, whereas $\rm H_2O$ is the only product with hydrogen atoms. These $3$ carbon atoms and $8$ hydrogen atoms would correspond to:

$3 / 1 = 3$ $\rm CO_2$ molecules, and
$8 / 2 = 4$ $\rm H_2O$ molecules.

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction:

$\rm C$ : $3 \times 1 = 3$ .
$\rm H$ : $4 \times 2 = 8$ .
$\rm O$ : $3 \times 2 + 4 \times 1 = 10$ .

The number of $\rm O$ atoms on the left-hand side should match those on the right-hand side. In this reaction, $\rm O_2$ is the only reactant with $\rm O\!$ atoms. These $10$ $\rm \! O$ atoms would correspond to:

$5$ $\rm O_2$ molecules.

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Calculate to three significant digits the density of chlorine pentafluoride gas at exactly and exactly . You can assume chlorine

slega [8]

Answer:

Density is 6.16g/L

Explanation:

... at exactly -15°C and exactly 1atm...

Using general gas law:

PV = nRT

We can find density (Ratio of mass and volume) in an ideal gas as follows:

P/RT = n/V

To convert moles to grams we need to multiply the moles with Molar Weight, MW:

n*MW = m

n = m/MW

P/RT = m/V*MW

P*MW/RT = m/V

Where P is pressure: 1atm;

MW of chlorine pentafluoride: 130.445g/mol

R is gas constant: 0.082atmL/molK

And T is absolute temperature: -15°C+273.15 = 258.15K

Replacing:

P*MW/RT = m/V

1atm*130.445g/mol / 0.082atmL/molK*258.15K = m/V

6.16g/L = m/V

<h3>Density of the gas is 6.16g/L</h3>
