Answer:

Since the vast majority of an atom's mass is found its protons and neutrons, subtracting the number of protons (i.e. the atomic number) from the atomic mass will give you the calculated number of neutrons in the atom. In our example, this is: 14 (atomic mass) – 6 (number of protons) = 8 (number of neutrons).

How is the number of unpaired valance electrons in an atom related to the number of bonds that the atom can form?
TiliK225 [7]
It is the same amount. For example, Carbon has 4 electrons. Putting those 4 electrons in a Lewis Dot Structure will show that they are not paired, so 4 is the number of bonds Carbon can make.

A sample of hydrated calcium sulfate has a mass of 20.88 g. After it is heated, it has a mass of 16.51 g. What is the percentage
Tanzania [10]
Mass of water = 20.88 - 16.51
Mass of water = 4.37 g

Percentage water in hydrate = 4.37 / 20.88 x 100
Percentage water inn hydrate = 20.9%

Hamid made this table to organize his notes on the properties of acids and bases.
Molodets [167]

Answer : The property in the wrong column is, base form hydrogen gas with metals

Explanation :

Acid : It is a substance that has ability of donating a proton or hydrogen ion, H^+.

The properties of an acid are :

  • Acids are sour in taste.
  • It conduct electricity.
  • The texture of an acid solution is sticky.
  • It react with carbonates to give salt.
  • It changes the color of the litmus paper to red.
  • It react with a metal to give compound and hydrogen gas.

Base : It is a substance that has ability of donating hydroxide ion, OH^-.

The properties of an base are :

  • Base are bitter in taste.
  • It conduct electricity.
  • The texture of an base solution is slippery.
  • It changes the color of the litmus paper to blue.
  • It does not react with a metal.

Hence, from the above information, we conclude that the property in the wrong column is, base form hydrogen gas with metals .

The compound has the empirical formula of CH. Give some possible molecular formulas for this compound if you didn't know the mol
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Convert the mass of each element to moles using the molar mass from the periodic table. Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated. Round to the nearest whole number. This is the mole ratio of the elements and is represented by subscripts in the empirical formula.

Explanation:

The result is the molecular formula
