There are some standard numbers that help us describe the structure of an atom and help us categorize them. Those are the atomic number, the mass number and the numbers of electrons in an atom (or ion). Atoms are electrically neutral, hence they have the same number of protons as electrons. If an atom has a charge and has thus become an ion, it is because electrons joined it or left. For example in this case, since the ion has +2 charge, 2 electrons left it and thus the ion has 4 electrons (2 electrons less than its protons). The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons of an atom (that are in the nucleus). In this case, this yields a mass number of 13 for this ion. The atomic number of an atom (or ion) is the total number of protons in the nucleus. Protons do not leave the nucleus except for radioactive reactions and thus the atomic number of an atom (or ion) does not change in chemical reactions. In this case, the ion has an atomic number of 6.

what is molarity of a sodium hydroxide solution made by combining 2.0 L of 0.60 M NaOH with 495 mL of 3.0 M NaOH? Assume the vol

hammer [34]

Answer:

Molarity of the sodium hydroxide solution is 1.443 M/L

Explanation:

Given;

0.60 M concentration of NaOH contains 2.0 L

3.0 M concentration of NaOH contains 495 mL

Molarity is given as concentration of the solute per liters of the solvent.

If the volumes of the two solutions are additive, then;
