If we have a neutral atom, then it has the same number protons and neutrons.

The number protons and neutrons for neutral atom shows atomic number.

"A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20" means that atom has 20 protons (that give charge "+ 20" ) and 20 electrons (that give charge "-20").

Answer is 20 electrons.

Answer:

The atom with 20 atomic number has 20 electrons.

Explanation:

Atomic number of an atom,Z = 20

Mass number of an atom ,A = 42

Z = Atomic number = Number of proton = Number of electron (neutral atom)

Z = 20

The atom with 20 atomic number has 20 protons.

The atom with 20 atomic number has 20 electrons.

Number of neutrons = A - Z = 42 - 20 = 22

The atom with 20 atomic number has 22 neutrons.

Question 21
Mumz [18]
There are 2 moles of O stones present in 88 grams of CO2. Why? Well, we can find the amount of moles present in 88 grams of CO2 by dividing the mass by the molar mass. The mass of CO2 comes out to be 88 grams. The molar mass of CO2 comes out to be 44 grams. Because 88 is the mass of CO2 and 44 is the molar mass of CO2, we can divide 88 by 44 to identify that there are 2.0 moles of O atoms present in 88 grams of CO2.

Your final answer: There are 2.0 moles of O atoms present in 88 grams of CO2. Your final answer to this question is D, or 2.0 moles. If you need to better understand, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

9. For each reaction listed, identify the proton donor (or acid) and the proton acceptor(or base).
Talja [164]

Answer:

Explanation:

conjugate acid, based on Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, is a chemical compound that is formed by the reception of a proton by a base

a. CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇌ H₃0⁺ + CH₃C00-

Acid <> CH₃COOH

Base <> H₂O

Conjugate acid <> H₃0 +

Conjugate base <>CH₃C00-

b. HCO₃ + H₂O ⇌ H₂CO₃⁻ + OH⁻

Acid <> H₂O

Base <> HCO₃

Conjugate acid <> H₂CO₃⁻

Conjugate base <>OH⁻

C. HNO₃ + SO₄²⁻ ⇌ HSO₄⁻ + NO₃⁻

Acid <>HNO₃

Base <>SO₄²⁻

Conjugate acid <>HSO₄⁻

Conjugate base <>NO₃⁻

A Bronsted acid is reffered to as a proton donor while a Bronsted base is a proton acceptor

Give the systematic names for the formulas or give the formulas for the names:
lilavasa [31]

Lead (II) acetate trihydrate is the systematic name for the formula Pb(C₂H₃O₂)₂ . 3H₂O.

<h3>What is Molecular Formula ?</h3>

The chemical formula that gives total number of atoms of each element in one molecule of a compound is called Molecular Formula.

<h3>What is Oxidation State ?</h3>

Oxidation state is also known as oxidation number. It is defined as the atom is equal to the total number of electrons which have been removed from the element in order to form chemical bond with other atom.

Now find the oxidation state of Pb in Pb(C₂H₃O₂)₂ .3H₂O

Assume the oxidation state of Pb in Pb(C₂H₃O₂)₂ .3H₂O be x

x + 2 × (-1) + 3 × 0 = 0

x - 2 + 0 = 0

x = 2

Oxidation state of Pb is +2 or (II)

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The systematic name for the formula Pb(C₂H₃O₂)₂ .3H₂O is Lead (II) acetate trihydrate.
