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.

Carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, once used as a cleaning fluid and as a fire extinguisher, is produced by heating methane and chlorin

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

1.882 g

Explanation:

Data Given

mass of Cl₂ = 33.4 g

mass of CH₄ = ?

Reaction Given:

CH₄+ 4Cl₂ --------→ CCl₄ + HCl

Solution:

First find the mass of CH₄ from the reaction that it combine with how many grams of Chlorin.

Look at the balanced reaction

CH₄ + 4Cl₂ --------→ CCl₄ + 4HCl

1 mol 4 mol

So 1 mole of CH₄ combine with 4 moles of Cl₂

Now

convert the moles into mass for which we have to know molar mass of CH₄ and Cl₂

Molar mass of Cl₂ = 2 (35.5)

Molar mass of Cl₂ = 71 g/mol

mass of Cl₂

mass in grams = no. of moles x molar mass

mass of Cl₂ = 4 mol x 71 g/mol

mass of Cl₂ = 284 g

Molar mass of CH₄= 12+ 4(1)

Molar mass of CH₄= 16 g/mol

mass of CH₄

mass in grams = no. of moles x molar mass

mass of CH₄= 1 mol x 16 g/mol

mass of CH₄ = 16 g

So,

284 g of Cl₂ combine with 16 g of methane ( CH₄ ) then how many grams of CH₄ is needed to combine with 33.4 g of Cl₂

Apply unity Formula

284 g of Cl₂ ≅ 16 g of methane ( CH₄ )

33.4 g of Cl₂ ≅ X g of methane ( CH₄ )

By cross multiplication

X g of methane ( CH₄ ) = 16 g x 33.4 g / 284 g

X g of methane ( CH₄ ) = 1.88 g

1.882 g of methane (CH₄) will needed to combine with 33.4 g of Cl₂

methane (CH₄) = 1.882 g

The formula for chlorine acid is

fenix001 [56]

The correct terminology for chlorine acid is Hydrochloric Acid. The formula for that is HCl. This is because H has an ionic charge of +1 and Cl has an ionic charge of -1. Thus, they will combine to form HCl. Also, H is in front because almost all acids will have H in front.

3. Determine the moles of sodium, Na, containing 7.9x1024 atoms.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

12.7mol Na.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the concept of mole, which stands for the amount of substance, we can recall the concept of Avogadro's number whereby we understand that one mole of any substance contains 6.022x10²³ particles, for the given atoms of sodium, we can calculate the moles as shown below:

$7.9x10^{23}atoms*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}atoms} \\\\$

Thus, by performing the division we obtain:

$12.7molNa$
