Answer:

The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,  

XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻

X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element

As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,  

No. of electrons = atomic number - charge

36 = atomic number - 2

Atomic number = 38

Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.  

Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,  

No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

= 89 - 38

= 51 neutrons.

How many 3-liter balloons could the 12-L helium tank pressurized to 160 atm fill? Keep in mind that an "exhausted" helium tank i
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The 12L helium tank pressurized to 160 atm will fill <em>636 </em>3-liter balloons

Explanation:

It is possible to answer this question using Boyle's law:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

Where P₁ is the pressure of the tank (160atm), V₁ is the volume of the tank (12L), P₂ is the pressure of the balloons (1atm, atmospheric pressure) And V₂ is the volume this gas will occupy at 1 atm, thus:

160atm×12L = 1atm×V₂

V₂ = 1920L

As the tank will never be empty, the volume of the gas able to fill balloons is the total volume minus 12L, thus the volume of helium able to fill balloons is:

1920L - 12L = 1908L

1908L will fill:

1908L×\frac{1balloon}{3L} = <em>636 balloons</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
