How many electrons does an atom have

1 answer:

4 0

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.

Maslowich

Answer:

a) 4CH₃NH₂ + 9O₂ ⇄ 4CO₂ + 10H₂O + 2N₂

b) m = 5,043 g

c) % = 69,4 %

Explanation:

a) La ecuación balanceada es la siguiente:

4CH₃NH₂ + 9O₂ ⇄ 4CO₂ + 10H₂O + 2N₂

En el balanceo, se tiene en la relación estequiométrica que 4 moles de metilamina reacciona con 9 moles de oxígeno para producir 4 moles de dióxido de carbono, 10 moles de agua y 2 moles de nitrógeno.

b) Para determinar la masa de nitrógeno se debe calcular primero el reactivo limitante:

$n_{O_{2}} = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{25,6 g}{31,99 g/mol} = 0,800 moles$

$n_{CH_{3}NH_{2}} = \frac{4}{9}*0,800 moles = 0,356 moles$

De la ecuación anterior se tiene que la cantidad de moles de metilamina necesaria para reaccionar con 0,800 moles de oxígeno es 0,356 moles, y la cantidad de moles iniciales de metilamina es 0,5 moles, por lo tanto el reactivo limitante es el oxígeno.

Ahora, podemos calcular la masa de nitrógeno producida:

$n_{N_{2}} = \frac{2}{9}*n_{O_{2}} = \frac{2}{9}*0,8 moles = 0,18 moles$

$m_{N_{2}} = n_{N_{2}}*M = 0,18 moles*28,014 g/mol = 5,043 g$

Por lo tanto, se pueden producir 5,043 g de nitrógeno.

c) El redimiento de la reacción se puede calcular usando la siguiente fórmula:

$\% = \frac{R_{r}}{R_{T}}*100$

Donde:

$R_{r}$ : es el rendimiento real

$R_{T}$ : es el rendimiento teórico

$\% = \frac{3,5}{5,043}*100 = 69,4$

Entonces, el procentaje de rendimiento de la reacción es 69,4%.

There are two open cans of soda on the table. One can was just taken from the refrigerator and the other was taken from the cupb

nika2105 [10]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The can from the cupboard will lose carbon dioxide more quickly because it is warmer and gases are less soluble in warmer temperatures. Solubility of gases is a strong function of temperature and as well as pressure.

Why water is able to stick to the side of a glass

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Water uses adhesive forces that allow it to stick to certain surfaces such as glass.

Explanation:

When the angle between vertical direction and the glass wall is small, surface tension is stronger and the component of gravity perpendicular to the glass wall is small. The result of this causes water to stick to the side of a glass.

Hope this helps!

Which describes why Mendeleev succeeded where others failed?

wolverine [178]

Answer:

He realized that some elements had not been discovered.

Explanation:

Some scientists that tried to arrange the list of elements known before Mendeleev include Antoine Lavoisier, Johann Döbereiner, Alexandre Béguyer de Chancourtois, John Newlands, and Julius Lothar Meyer.

Dimitri Mendeleev was so succesful that he is recognized as the most important in such work.

Mendeleev by writing the properties of the elements on cards elaborated by him, and "playing" trying to order them, realized that, some properties regularly (periodically) repeated.

The elements were sorted in increasing atomic weight (which is not the actual order in the periodic table), but when an element did not meet the pattern discovered, he moved it to a position were its properties fitted.

The amazing creativity of Mendeleev led him to leave blanks for what he thought were places that should be occupied by elements yet undiscovered. More amazing is that he was able to predict the properties of some of those elements.

When years after some of the elements were discovered, the genius of Mendeleev was proven because the "new" elements had the properties predicted by him.
