Answer: A

• Mass number = tell you the protons and neutrons

• Atomic number = protons and electrons

• To find the number of neutrons:
Mass number - atomic number

Neutrons: 40 - 20 = 20

Answer: A. It has 20 protons, 20 neutrons and 20 electrons

Explanation: The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons inside the nucleus. In a neutral atom the number of electrons and protons are equal.

The number of neutrons can be determined by this formula

Atomic Mass - Atomic Number = n

40 - 20 = 20 neutrons

Protons = 20

Electrons = 20

Neutrons = 20

How many grams of h2 are needed to produce 14.51 g of nh3?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

               2.57 g of H₂

Solution:

The Balance Chemical Equation is as follow,

                                          N₂  +  3 H₂    →    2 NH₃

According to Balance equation,

         34.06 g (2 moles) NH₃ is produced by  =  6.04 g (3 moles) of H₂

So,

               14.51 g of NH₃ will be produced by  =  X g of H₂

Solving for X,

                      X  =  (14.51 g × 6.04 g) ÷ 34.06 g

                     X =  2.57 g of H₂

Distinguish between mass and weight
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

There is a basic difference, because mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured in kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg. Note that mass is independent of everything but weight is different on the earth, moon, etc.
