How many electrons are in the nucleus of an aluminum atom?

Answer:

13.

Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to  27 .

Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminium, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.

The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminium has an atomic number equal to  13 .

This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminium will have  13

protons in its nucleus.

Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.

Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have  13  electrons surrounding its nucleus.

Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have  mass number  =  no. of protons  +  no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons  =  27  −  13  =  14

In which layer(s) would a solid cube with 6 cm sides and mass of 270 g float? Explain.
DIA [1.3K]
The buoyancy of an object is dictated by its density. So let us calculate for density, where:density = mass / volume
Calculate the volume first of a solid cube:volume = (6 cm)^3 = 216 cm^3 = 216 mL
Therefore density is:density = 270 g / 216 mLdensity = 1.25 g / mL
Therefore this object will float in the layer in which the density is more than 1.25 g / mL.

How many grams of benzene (C6H6) will produce 42 grams of CO2?
3241004551 [841]
The balanced chemical reaction is:<span>

</span><span>2C6H6 + 15O2 → 12CO2 + 6H2O</span><span>

We are given the amount of carbon dioxide to be produced for the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations.

</span>42 g CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 44.01 g CO2) ( 2 mol C6H6 / 12 mol CO2 ) (78.1074 g C6H6 / 1 mol C6H6) = 12.42 grams of C6H6

L and D forms of a molecule are what kind of isomers?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

enantiomers

Explanation:

L and D stand for levorotatory and dextrorotatory respectively. A levorotatory molecule will rotate the plane of plane polarised light left and a dextrorotatory molecule will rotate the plane of plane polarised light right.  L and D molecules are non superimposable mirror image of each other. Therefore they are also known as enantiomers.
