A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 41; how many protons, neutrons, and electrons are found within th

djverab [1.8K]

•The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:
B) 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Vitek1552 [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of decane produced is $1.743\times 10^2g$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

Mass of hydrogen gas = 2.45 g

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:, we get:

$\text{Moles of }H_2=\frac{2.45g}{2g/mol}=1.225mol$

The chemical equation for the hydrogenation of decene follows:

$C_{10}H_{20}(l)+H_2(g)\rightarrow C_{10}H_{22}(s)$

As, decene is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hydrogen gas is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of hydrogen gas produces 1 mole of decane.

So, 1.225 moles of hydrogen gas will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 1.225=1.225mol$ of decane

Now, calculating the mass of decane by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of decane = 1.225 mol

Molar mass of decane = 142.30 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.225mol=\frac{\text{Mass of decane}}{142.30g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(1.225mol\times 142.30g/mol)=174.3g=1.743\times 10^2g$

Hence, the mass of decane produced is $1.743\times 10^2g$
