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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natalija [7]3 years ago
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.

How many moles are 21.67 L of NH4CI?
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

0.967mole

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of NH₄Cl  = 21.67L

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

If we assume that the volume was taken at standard temperature and pressure,

 Then;

  Number of moles  = \frac{volume }{22.4L}  

 Number of moles  = \frac{21.67}{22.4}   = 0.967mole
