Remember this:

atomic mass= atomic number + number of neutrons 

The atomic number (same thing as number of protons) in this case is 15. The atomic mass is 31. 

So, we subtract 15 from 31 to find the number of neutrons.

31-15=16 

16 neutrons!!!

KCIO3 → KCI + O2

First you have to count all the atoms of each element in both sides of the reaction, in this case:
Left side: there is one K atom, one Cl atom and 3 O atoms
Right side: there is one K atom, one Cl atom and 2 O atoms

K and Cl are balanced but O isn't
To balance O you can add a coefficient to O2 in the right side of the equation like this:

KCIO3 → KCI +3 O2

Now you have 6 oxygen atoms in the right side but only 3 in the left side, so you can add a coefficient to KClO3:

2KCIO3 → KCI +3 O2

And finally, Balance K and Cl again by adding a 2 as a coefficient for KCl

2KCIO3 → 2KCI +3 O2

Now both sides have the same amount of atoms of each element (2 K atoms, 2 Cl atoms and 6 O atoms)

All weather is energy in motion. Where does the energy come from
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The Sun radiates huge amounts of energy. Only a small portion of that energy hits the Earth, but it is enough to light our days, heat our air and land, and create weather systems over the oceans. Most of the energy you will learn about comes from the Sun. The Earth also gives off energy.
