How many electrons does an atom have

Chemistry
1 answer:
inn [45]3 years ago

In this question, the most probable answer that you would get would be that it depends. It depends on what kind of element are we talking about here. What is important to remember about these is that the number of electrons must always be equal to the number of protons. To get the numbers of electrons and protons of a certain element, just locate the atomic number of the said element. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number and the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons which is equal to the atomic number. If neutrons were to be added in the picture, just take the atomic weight of the element then round it off to the nearest whole number to get its mass number. Subtract the number of protons to the mass number and the difference would be the number of neutrons.

For each equation , write all possible mole ratios . A. 2HgO(s)>2Hg(l)+O2(g) B. 4NH3(g)+6NO(g)>5N2(g)+6H2O(l)
Dafna11 [192]

A) For balanced chemical equation: 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂(g).

1) Mole ratio 1: n(HgO) : n(Hg) = 2 : 2 (1 : 1).

2) Mole ratio 2: n(HgO) : n(O₂) = 2 : 1.

3) Mole ratio 3: n(Hg) : n(O₂) = 2 : 1.

B) Balanced chemical equation: 4NH₃(g) + 6NO(g) → 5N₂(g) + 6H₂O(l).

1) Mole ratio 1: n(NH₃) : n(NO) = 4 : 6 (2 : 3).

2) Mole ratio 2: n(NH₃) : n(N₂) = 4 : 5.

3) Mole ratio 3: n(NH₃) : n(H₂O) = 4 : 6 (2 : 3).

4) Mole ratio 4: n(NO) : n(N₂) = 6 : 5.

5) Mole ratio 5: n(NO) : n(H₂O) = 6 : 6 (1 :1).

6) Mole ratio 6: n(N₂) : n(H₂O) = 5 : 6.

Given the following chemical reaction: 2 O2 + CH4 CO2 + 2 H2O What mass of oxygen is required to completely react with 20 grams
Jobisdone [24]
The chemical equation is:
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

First, we calculate the moles of methane present using:
Moles = mass / molecular mass
Moles = 20 / 16
Moles = 1.25

Next, we may observe from the chemical equation that the molar ratio between methane and oxygen is 1 : 2
So the moles of oxygen required are 2 x 1.25
2.5 moles of oxygen required

Mass = moles * molecular mass
Mass = 2.5 * 32
Moles = 80

C. 80 grams O₂

Using the balanced equation N2+O2=2NO, how many grams of NO can be produced when 25.0 grams of N react?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

53.55gNO

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given chemical reaction, it is possible for us to calculate the produced grams of nitrogen monoxide by starting with 25.0 g of nitrogen via their 1:2 mole ratio and the molar masses of 30.1 g/mol and 28.02 g/mol, respectively and by some stoichiometry:

=25.0gN_2*\frac{1molN_2}{28.02gN_2}*\frac{2molNO}{1molN_2}*\frac{30.01 gNO}{1molNO}\\\\=53.55gNO

Best regards!
