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.

A chemist must prepare of 800.0 ml potassium hydroxide solution with a pH of 13.00 at 25Â°.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

4.48 grams is the mass of potassium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step.

Explanation:

The pH of the solution = 13.00

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 13.00 = 1.00

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

$1.00=-\log[OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=10^{-1.00} M=0.100 M$

$KOH(aq)\rightarrow K^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)$

$[KOH]=[OH^-]=[K^+]=0.100 M$

Molariy of the KOH = 0.100 M

Volume of the KOH solution = 800 mL= 0.800 L

1 mL = 0.001 L

Moles of KOH = n

$Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume(L)}$

$0.100 M=\frac{n}{0.800 L}$

n = 0.0800 mol

Mass of 0.0800 moles of KOH :

0.0800 mol × 56 g/mol = 4.48 g

4.48 grams is the mass of potassium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step.

A 2.2 M solution is made by with 0.45 moles of a solute. What is the final volume of this solution?

Savatey [412]

Answer: The final volume of this solution is 0.204 L.

Explanation:

Given: Molarity of solution = 2.2 M

Moles of solute = 0.45 mol

Molarity is the number of moles of solute present divided by volume in liters.

$Molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L)}$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$Molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L)}\\2.2 M = \frac{0.45}{Volume}\\Volume = 0.204 L$

Thus, we can conclude that the final volume of this solution is 0.204 L.
