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!

how many moles of sodium are needed to react with sulfuric acid to produce 3.75 moles of sodium sulfate according to the followi
anastassius [24]
Hello!
<span>
You'll need to react 7,5 moles of Sodium with sulfuric acid to produce 3.75 moles of sodium sulfate
</span>
First of all, you need to balance the reaction. The balanced reaction is shown below (ensuring that the Law of Conservation of Mass is met on both sides):

2Na + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂

Now, all that you have to do is to use molar equivalences in this reaction applying the coefficients to calculate the moles of Sodium that you'll need:

molesNa=3,75moles Na_{2} SO_4* \frac{2 moles Na}{1 mol Na_{2} SO_4} =7,5 moles Na 

Have a nice day!

A metal (M) forms an oxide with the formula MO. If the oxide contains 7.17 % O by mass, what is the identity of the metal?
Nataly_w [17]

The metal is lead, Pb.

One unit of the oxide contains one atom of O (16.00 u).

∴ Mass of oxide = 16.00 u O × (100 u MO/7.17 u O) = 223.15 u MO

Mass of M = mass of MO – mass of O = 223.15 u -16.00 u = 207.2 u

The only element with an atomic mass of 207.2 u is lead (Pb) and the formula of the oxide is PbO.
