Answer:
Potassium (K) has 19 protons.
Each neutral atom of Potassium has 19 electrons.
Explanation:
A) Potassium has 19 protons because the atomic number tells us how many protons are in an atom of the element. (The atomic number is the number above the element symbol. For example, the number above "K" is 19, which is the atomic number).
B) If an atom is neutral, this means that the atom has neutral energy. Protons give positive energy and electrons give negative energy. For the atom to be neutral, the atom must have balanced energy, therefore, making the number of electrons equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
Answer:
Mass of C₂H₄N₂ produced = 3.64 g
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is given below:
3CH₄ (g) + 5CO₂ (g) + 8NH₃ (g) → 4C₂H₄N₂ (g) + 10H₂O (g)
From the equation, 3 moles of CH₄ reacts with 5 moles of CO₂ and 8 moles of NH₃ to produce 4 moles of C₂H₄N₂ and 10 moles of H₂O
Molar masses of the compounds are given below below:
CH₄ = 16 g/mol; CO₂ = 44 g/mol; NH3 = 17 g/mol; C₂H₄N₂ = 56 g/mol; H₂O g/mol
Comparing the mole ratios of the reacting masses;
CH₄ = 1.65/16 = 0.103
CO₂ = 13.5/44 = 0.307
NH₃ = 2.21/17 = 0.130
converting to whole number ratios by dividing with the smallest ratio
CH₄ = 0.103/0.103 = 1
CO₂ = 0.307/0.103 = 3
NH₃ = 0.130/0.103 = 1.3
Multiplying through with 5
CH₄ = 1 × 5 = 5
CO₂ = 3 × 5 = 15
NH₃ = 1.3 × 5 = 6.5
Therefore, the limiting reactant is NH₃
8 × 17 g (136 g) of NH₃ reacts to produce 4 × 56 g (224 g) of C₂H₄N₂
Therefore, 2.21 g of NH₃ will produce (2.21 × 224)/136 g of C₂H₄N₂ = 3.64 g of C₂H₄N₂
Mass of C₂H₄N₂ produced = 3.64 g
