In order to balance out the Electrons, and give it a net charge of 0, you would need 79 Protons.

5 0

Explanation:

It is known that for a neutral atom the number of protons present in that atom is equal to the number of electrons present in it.

Also, atomic number means the sum of total number of protons present in an atom.

For example, when a gold atom has net charge 0 then it means it is neutral in nature.

Also, it contains 79 electrons. This also means it contains 79 protons.

Thus, we can conclude that an atom of gold (Au) which has 79 electrons will also contain 79 protons.

Explain what "LEO the lion goes GER" means based upon what you have learned
olchik [2.2K]

"LEO the lion goes GER" means based upon the oxidation and reduction reactions.

<h3>What is oxidation and reduction reaction?</h3>

Oxidation reactions are those reactions in which lossing of electrons are taking place from the substrate molecule and in reduction process gaining of electrons is done by substrate molecules.

The phrase "LEO the lion goes GER" is used in the context of oxidation and reduction reactions. Meaning of the terms:
LEO → Lose electrons = oxidation

GER → Gain electrons = reduction

Hence the given line is based on oxidation and reduction.

What volume of carbon dioxide is produced when 6.40 g of methane gas, CH4 (g), reacts with excess oxygen? All gases are at 35.0C
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

V = 10.3 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of methane = 6.40 g

Volume of CO₂ produced = ?

Temperature = 35°C (35+273 = 308 K)

Pressure = 100.0 KPa (100.0/101 = 0.98 atm)

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CH₄ +  2O₂        →       CO₂ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of CH₄:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 6.40 g/ 16 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.4 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ with CH₄.

         CH₄          :         CO₂

           1             :           1

        0.4            :         0.4

Volume of CO₂:

Formula:

PV = nRT

0.98 atm ×V = 0.4 mol ×0.0821 atm.L/mol.K ×  308 K

0.98 atm ×V = 10.11 atm.L

V = 10.11 atm.L /0.98 atm

V = 10.3 L
