Consider the following isotopic symbol: 137Ba2+

Chemistry
1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

a) 56 protons

b) 54 electrons

c) 81 neutrons

d) The sum of protons and neutrons is shown. The number of protons is always the same. So we can calculate the number of neutrons ( and also the isotopes)

e)137Ba (with 56 protons and 81 neutrons)

f) atomic mass is 136.9 u ; the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons and is 137

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

137 Ba2+ is an isotope of barium. The atomic number of barium( and its isotopes) is 56. This shows the number of protons.

For a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.

The different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.

137Ba2+ has 56 protons (this is the same as the atomic number)

137Ba2+ has 54 electrons ( since it's Ba2+, this means it has 2 electrons less than protons, that's why it's charged +2)

137Ba2+ has 81 neutrons ( 137 - 56 = 81)

In the symbol, the atomic number is not shown. The sum of the protons and neutrons is shown. (Since the number of protons is the same for every isotope, we can calculate the number of neutrons that way. By knowing the neutrons, we also know the isotope.

This isotope is 137Ba

Atomic mass is also known as atomic weight. The atomic mass is the weighted average mass of an atom of an element based on the relative natural abundance of that element's isotopes.

The atomic mass of 137Ba2+ is 136.9 u

The mass number is a count of the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.

The mass number of 137Ba2+ is 137

What is the theoretical yield of moles of hydrogen that can be produced from 0.032g of MG?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

1.31x10⁻³ moles of H₂

Explanation:

This is the equation:

Mg(s)  +   2H₂O (g)   →   Mg(OH)₂ (aq)   +    H₂(g)

Ratio is 1:1, so 1 mol of Mg is needed to produce 1 mol of H₂

Mass / Molar mass = Mol

0.032 g / 24.3 g/m = 1.31x10⁻³ moles

1.31x10⁻³ moles of H₂(g)

Your mommy buys you a helium balloon at the circus. It has a volume of 2.95 liters. What is the mass
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

if my calculation are correct, it's 295 grams

Explanation:

because liters converted to grams is .1=100 so if you take 2.95 times 100, it equals 295

Based on the law of conservation of mass, which of the following statements is correct? Matter is neither created nor destroyed.
Dmitrij [34]

The first statement (Matter is neither created nor destroyed) is correct.

The second statement would violate the law of conservation of mass (I will refer to this as LCM), as it would mean matter can "flow" into the universe, but not out, meaning the total matter will never be less than it was before.

The third statement violates LCM because it means matter is created during a reaction, which is not true.

The last statement violates LCM because it means matter is lost during a reaction, which is not true.

When calcium and chlorine react to form calcium chloride, which substance is reduced? *
zhannawk [14.2K]

<u>Answer</u>:-

When the reaction takes place Ca is reduced or is an oxidizing agent.

Reaction:

Ca + 2Cl =CaCl2

Note: There is a +2 charge on Ca(Calcium) and -1 charge on each Cl-atom(Chlorine atom) hence the charges are cancelled. Therefore, the total charge on the whole compound is zero.

Explanation:-

• Reduction: gain of electron/electrons

gain of hydrogen

loss of oxygen

Oxidation: gain of oxygen

loss of hydrogen

loss of electron/electrons.

• Oxidizing agent/reduced

Reducing agent/oxidized

• The molecule that is oxidized loses an electron and the molecule that is reduced gains the electron that was lost by the oxidized molecule.
