Answer:

Explanation:

Information given about the element:

Number of protons = 74

Number of neutrons = 110

For the atomic number:

Neutral atoms such as this one would have their atomic number to be the same with their number of electrons and protons:

     atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

The atomic number would therefore be 74

For the mass number:

The mass of an atom is centrally concentrated within the tiny nucleus. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. Protons and neutrons are nuclear particles and are called nucleons:

     Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons = 74+110=184

Is this a new element?

From the peroidic table, tungsten(W) perfectly fits this description of the atom. It has an atomic number of 74 and a mass number of approximately 184. The element is not a new element.

Is it solid, liquid, or gas?

The element is a hard metallic solid. It is a classified as a transition metal on the periodic table. Transition metals have very unique metals and are mostly solids.

Answer:

1) The atomic number of this element is 74, because number of protons = atomic number

2) Mass number of this element is 184

Ar=Z+N=74+110=184

3) It isn't a new element. An element with such atomic and mass numbers exists

4) It is Wolfram. Symbol: W

5) Solid

Draw the ketone produced from the oxidation of 2-pentanol.
natulia [17]
When 2-pentanol gets oxidized you end up with 2-pentanone. In this case, since we are oxidizing a secondary alcohol you end up with a ketone. They cannot be oxidized further than that. If it was a primary alcohol you would end up with an aldehyde.

You can find the mechanism as well the molecule formula of both 2pentanol and 2pentanone attached.

. Write the balanced equation, then outline the steps necessary to determine the information requested in each of the following:
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) The equation of the reaction is;

2Na + Cl2 ------>2NaCl

Number of moles of sodium = 10g/23 g/mol = 0.43 moles

If 2 moles of sodium reacts with 1 mole of Cl2

0.43 moles reacts with 0.43 * 1/2 = 0.215 moles of Cl2

Mass =  0.215 moles of Cl2 *71 g/mol = 15.265 g

b) Equation of the reaction;

HgO -> Hg + O2

1.252 moles of HgO 1.252/32 gmol = 0.039 moles

1 mole of HgO  yields 1 mole of oxygen hence

0.039 moles of HgO yields   0.039 moles of oxygen

Mass of oxygen = 0.039 moles * 32 g/mol = 1.248 g

c) Equation of the reaction;

2NaNO3 -----> 2NaNO2 + O2

Number of moles of 128 g of oxygen = 128g/32 g/mol = 4 moles

2 moles of NaNO3  yields 1 mole of oxygen

x moles of NaNO3   yields 4 moles of oxygen

x = 8 moles of NaNo3

Mass of NaNO3 = 8 * 85 g/mol = 680 g of NaNo3

According to the following reaction, how many grams of water are produced in the complete reaction of grams of sulfuric acid?
Natasha2012 [34]

This question requires the mass of sulfuric acid and a balance equation. The complete question is given below

Question:

According to the following reaction, how many grams of water are produced in the complete reaction of 24.1 grams of sulfuric acid?

H₂SO₄(aq) + Zn(OH)₂(s) ---------> ZnSO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l)

Answer:

8.85 grams of water is obtained from 24.1 grams of sulfuric acid according to the given reaction

Explanation:

In this problem, the mass of water can be determined by using the balanced chemical equation.

Step 1: Write all data

Molar mass of water = 18 g

Molar mass of sulfuric acid = 98 g

Given mass of sulfuric acid = 24.1 g

Mass of water from reaction = ?

Step 2: Write statement for conversion

Given equation shows that

1 mole of H₂SO₄ gives 2 moles of water

Step 3: Convert moles into molar mass

Convert the moles into molar mass so, the statement becomes,

98 g of H₂SO₄ gives (2)(18) g of water

1 g of H₂SO₄ gives (2)(18)/98 g of water

Step 4: Use given data

24.1 g of H₂SO₄ gives (2)(18)(24.1)/98 g of water

amount of water = 8.85 g
