Chemistry

<span>The amount of protons is equal to the number of electrons of a chemical element. The atomic number of an element also determines the number of the protons it contains. The number of protons is also the same number of electrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged. To get the number of neutrons, all you need is to deduct the number of  the atomic mass or mass number from the atomic number. Potassium has 19 protons, therefore has 19 electrons as well. The atomic mass of Potassium is 39. So, the number of neutrons Potassium has is 20. </span> Potassium Atomic number: 19 Protons: 19 Electrons: 19 Atomic Mass: 39 Neutron: 20 Nitrogen Atomic number: 7 Protons: 7 Electrons: 7 Atomic Mass: 14.007 Neutrons: 7 Oxygen Atomic Number: 8 Protons: 8 Electrons: 8 Atomic Mass: 15.99 Neutrons: 8

A chemist must dilute 34.3mL of 1.72mM aqueous calcium sulfate solution until the concentration falls to 1.00mM. He'll do this b
EastWind [94]

Answer:

58.9mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume  = 34.3mL    = 0.0343dm³

Initial concentration  = 1.72mM   = 1.72 x 10⁻³moldm⁻³

Final concentration  = 1.00mM = 1 x 10⁻³ moldm⁻³

Unknown:

Final volume  =?

Solution:

Often times, the concentration of a standard solution may have to be diluted to a lower one by adding distilled water. To find the find the final volume, we must recognize that the number of moles of the substance in initial and final solutions are the same.

   Therefore;

              C₁V₁  =  C₂V₂

where C and V are concentration and 1 and 2 are initial and final states.

        now input the variables;

                      1.72 x 10⁻³ x  0.0343 = 1 x 10⁻³  x V₂

                        V₂ = 0.0589dm³ = 58.9mL

How does the total volume of gas particles compare to the volume of the space between gas particles?
saw5 [17]
Answer:
             There is more space between gas particles than the size of the particles.

Explanation:
                   This scenario can be understand by taking a very simple example. As we know that 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure occupy 22.4 liters of volume. Lets take Hydrogen gas and Oxygen gas, 1 mole of each gas will occupy same volume. Why it is so? Why same volume although Oxygen is 16 times more heavier? This is because the space between gas molecules is very large. Approximately the distance between gas molecules is 300 times greater than their own diameter from its neighbor molecules.
