Atomic Number: 92
Mass Number: 238
Number of Protons: 92
Number of Neutrons: 146 (you calculate this by subtracting 238 from 92)
Answer:
The Atomic Number of the atom of an element whose model is given is "8" that is option no. 'C' in the question.
Explanation:
An Atom comprises of 3 basic structures that are Protons, Neutrons and Electrons. The central part is the Nucleus which contains protons and neutrons having positive charge and no charge respectively. The electrons are revolving around the nucleus in electronic shells having the negative charge.
<u><em>ATOMIC NUMBER: </em></u>
Atomic number is the number of protons present inside the nucleus of an atom and it determines the place of that particular atom in the <u>Periodic Table.</u>
In the model, given in the question, the nucleus contains 2 types of balls dark gray colored and light gray colored. The key at the bottom shows the dark gray colored ball as having a positive charge and thus it represents the atomic number for the given atom of element which is <u><em>EIGHT (8).</em></u>
So, the atomic number for the given atom is 8 which is element OXYGEN.
Easy stoichiometry conversion :)
So, for stoichiometry, we always start with our "given". In this case, it would be the 10.0 grams of NaHCO3. This unit always goes over 1.
So, our first step would look like this:
10.0
------
1
Next, we need to cancel out grams to get to moles. To do this, we will do grams of citric acid on the BOTTOM of the next step, so it cancels out. This unit in grams will be the mass of NaHCO3, which is 84.007. Then, we will do our unit of moles on top. Since this is unknown, it will be 1.
So, our 2nd step would look like this:
1 mole CO2
-----------------
84.007g NaHCO3
When we put it together: our complete stoichiometry problem would look like this:
10.0g NaHCO3 1mol CO2
---------------------- x -------------------------
1 84.007g NaHCO3
Now to find our answer, all we need to do is:
Multiply the two top numbers together (which is 10.0)
Multiply the two bottom numbers together (Which is 84.007)
And then....
Divide the top answer by the bottom answer.
10.0/84.007 is 0.119
So, from 10.0 grams of citric acid, we have 0.119 moles of CO2.
Hope I could help!
