How many neutrons are in a potassium atom that has an atomic mass of 41

Chemistry

sergeinik [125]3 years ago
4 0

Hey there!

Potassium has 19 protons.

If this potassium atom has an atomic mass of 41, that means the sum of protons and neutrons is 41.

So, the following must be true:

p + n = 41

p = 19

Which makes this true:

19 + n = 41

Subtract 19 from each side to solve for n, the number of neutrons.

19 - 19 + n = 41 - 19

n = 22

A potassium atom that has an atomic mass of 41 has 22 neutrons.

Hope this helps!

Yes. The model represents atoms rearranging to produce a new compound.

<h3>What chemical reactions?</h3>

They are reactions involving the breakage of bonds and rearrangement of atoms in reactants to form products.

In the model, the bonds between hydrogen and chlorine were broken. Thereafter, each hydrogen and chlorine molecule linked up to form hydrogen chloride.

Thus, the model shows atoms rearranging to produce a new compound.
