Hello!

The atomic number is determined only by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. But, in a neutral atom it also represents the number of electrons in the electron cloud.


Neutrons are only important in the nucleus for helping us find atomic weight, which varies as we move along the perodic table and does not always equal the same amount of it's atomic number. Which is why it would not be a suitable answer for the first blank space. Electrons do not work either as they do not exist inside the nucleus but rather outside the atom.

The second space, since it states is in the electron cloud, we can deduct that electrons would be an appropriate answer there.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask, but I hope this answers your question.

Answer:

Less

Explanation:

The hydronium from the HCl is used to neutralize the bicarbonate in the baking soda. The hydronium is the acid and the bicarbonate ion is the base while the sodium and chloride ions are pH-neutral. Since theres a 1:1 mole ratio of hydronium to HCl and bicarbonate to sodium bicarbonate, it would require less HCl to neutralize a less concentration baking soda solution.

<u>Answer:</u> The net ionic equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation. They are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium nitrate and aqueous ammonia (ammonium hydroxide) is given as:

Mg(NO_3)_2(aq.)+2NH_4OH(aq.)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+2NH_4NO_3(aq.)

A white precipitate of magnesium hydroxide is formed in the above reaction.

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

Mg^{2+}(aq.)+2NO_3^-(aq.)+2NH_4^+(aq.)+2OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+2NH_4^+(aq.)+2NO_3^-(aq.)

As, ammonium and nitrate ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

Mg^{2+}(aq.)+2OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)

Hence, the net ionic equation is written above.

What mass of O2 is needed to completely react with 500 g of Fe
Zina [86]

Answer:

solution given:

Explanation:

4Fe +3O2------------>2Fe2O3

4mole. 3mole. 2 mole

224g. 96g. 320g

we have

224 g of fe needed to react completely with 96 g of O2

500g of fe needed to react completely with

96 ×500/224=214.3g of O2

214.3g of O2 is a required answer.
