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!!!

W(OH)2 + 2 HCl → WCl2 + 2 H2O
Afina-wow [57]

The amount of W(OH)2 needed would be 448.126 g

<h3>Stoichiometric calculation</h3>

From the equation of the reaction:

W(OH)2 + 2 HCl → WCl2 + 2 H2O

The mole ratio of W(OH)2 to HCl is 1:2

Mole of 150g HCl = 150/36.461

                                 = 4.11 moles

Equivalent mole of W(OH)2 = 4.11/2

                                           = 2.06 moles

Mass of 2.06 moles W(OH)2 = 2.06 x 217.855

                                                = 448.188g

A piece of wood near a fire is at 23°C. It gains 1,160 joules of heat from the fire and reaches a temperature of 42°C. The speci
Molodets [167]

Answer:

35.578g or 36g if you round

Explanation:

Q=mc ∆∅ where ∅ is temperature difference

1160= m x 1.716 x (42-23)

m = 1160/ 1.716 x19

m=35.578g

m = 36g to nearest whole number
