Answer:

A) False

B) True

C) True

D) True

Explanation:

A) False. If the charge of the atom is +2 means that you have two protons more than number of electrons. If you have 36 electrons you must have <em>38 protons.</em> Also, the electrons are not in the nucleus.

B) True. The isotope of X contains 38 protons, two more than the electron number.

C) True. The mass number is the number of protons + number of neutrons.

If the mass number is 79 and there are 38 protons you must have 41 neutrons.

D) True. You can now the identity of the atom with the number of protons that is the same than atomic number. The strontium, Sr, is the atom with 38 as atomic number.

I hope it helps!

Balance <br> Na2O+H2O → NaOH
AleksAgata [21]
Answer:
Na2O+H2O=2NaOH
Step by step exp.
Given:
Equation Na2O+H2O=NaOH
To find: Balance the equation
Solution:
Taking LHS of the equation
LHS=Na2O+H2O
There is 2 sodium, 2 oxygen,& 2 hydrogen
To balance the equation we have equal number of atom so we multply 2 to the RHS=2NaOH
There fore the equation form is
Na2O+H2O=2NaOH

What information is needed to determine the velocity of an elevator?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Velocity is vector quantity. So it needs <em>direction</em> in addoition to <em>speed</em>.

The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion.

What is the excess reactant in the combustion of 23 g of methane in the open atmosphere?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer : The excess reactant in the combustion of methane in opem atmosphere is O_{2} molecule.

Solution : Given,

Mass of methane = 23 g

Molar mass of methane = 16.04 g/mole

The Net balanced chemical reaction for combustion of methane is,

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

First we have to calculate the moles of methane.

\text{ Moles of methane}=\frac{\text{ Given mass of methane}}{\text{ Molar mass of methane}} = \frac{23g}{16.04g/mole} = 1.434 moles

From the above chemical reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of methane react with the 2 moles of oxygen

and 1.434 moles of methane react to give \frac{2moles\times 1.434moles}{1moles} moles of oxygen

The Moles of oxygen = 2.868 moles

Now we conclude that the moles of oxygen are more than the moles of methane.

Therefore, the excess reactant in the combustion of methane in open atmosphere is O_{2} molecule.
