Light elements with an atomic number less than 20 generally have a neutron to proton ratio equal to

1 answer:

6 0

Atomic elements consist of a nucleus that contains protons and neutrons. Protons carry a positive charge whilst neutrons are electrically neutral. In light elements with an atomic number less than 20, the neutron to proton ratio is generally equal to 1:1. This changes for heavier elements since the Coulomb interaction between many protons gets stronger and demands more neutrons for the nucleus to remain stable.

15. What volume of CCI, (d = 1.6 g/cc) contain

anastassius [24]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{(3) 9.6 L}}$

Explanation:

1. Moles of CCl₄

$n = 6.02 \times 10^{25} \text{ molecules} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules}} = \text{100.0 mol}$

2. Molar mass of CCl₄

MM = 1 × 12.01 + 4 × 35.5 = 12.01 + 142 = 154.0 g/mol

3. Mass of CCl₄

$m =\text{100.0 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{154.0 g}}{\text{1 mol}} = \text{15 400 g}$

4. Volume of CCl₄

$V = \text{15 400 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 cm}^{3}}{\text{1.6 g}} = \text{9600 cm}^{3}\\\\V = \text{9600 cm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 L}}{\text{1000 cm}^{3}} = \mathbf{{9.6 L}}\\\\\text{The volume of CCl$_{4}$ is } \boxed{\textbf{9.6 L}}$
