What is the limiting reactant when 19.9 g CuO react with 2.02 g H2?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

use the equation

moles = mass/mr

=19.9/79.5

=0.250moles of CuO

then do the same for

H = 2.02/1

=2.02

so CuO is the limiting reagent because there is less amount of it.

Hope this helps :)

An atom or ion has 41 neutrons, 36 protons, and 36 electrons. Identify the element symbol, and determine the mass number

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Element symbol: Kr.

Mass number: 77.

Charge : 0.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since such substance has the same amount of protons and electrons we can infer it is an atom whose number of neutrons is defined by considering its atomic mass or mass number and atomic number which is actually equal to the number of protons and electrons (36):

$neutrons=atomic\ mass - atomic\ number$

In such a way, solving for the atomic mass we obtain:

$atomic\ mass=neutrons+ atomic\ number\\\\atomic\ mass=41+36=77$

It means that the element is krypton (Kr) as it has 36 electrons and protons so its charge is 0.

Best regards.
