40o+2 protons electrons And neurons

Chemistry
1 answer:
KatRina [158]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: There are few simple rules to follow.

(1) The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.

Z

= number of protons

(2) In neutrally charged elements, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.  

Z

= number of protons = number of electrons (no charge)

Otherwise, positive charge means that the element lost an electron and negative charge means it gained an electron.

(3) The atomic mass is equal to the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons.

A

= number of protons + number neutrons  

or

A

=  

Z

+ number neutrons

So if you say that  

Z

= 20 and  

A

= 40, then

A

=  

Z

+ number neutrons

40 = 20 + number of neutrons

40 - 20 = number of neutrons

Therefore,

number of neutrons = 20

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Ozone layer depletion is the thinning of the ozone layer present in the upper atmosphere. This happens when the chlorine and bromine atoms in the atmosphere come in contact with ozone and destroy the ozone molecules. One chlorine can destroy 100,000 molecules of ozone. It is destroyed more quickly than it is created

What type of reaction occurs without the addition of heat?
maria [59]

The type of reaction that occurs without the addition of heat is called spontaneous reaction. That is option D.

<h3>What is spontaneous reaction?</h3>

Spontaneous reaction is defined as the reaction where by new substances are formed naturally without the addition of extra energy in the form of heat.

Therefore, the type of reaction that occurs without the addition of heat is called spontaneous reaction

Please help me and explanation would be really awesome thank you!
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

So the answer would be 10 moles

Explanation:

1) Start with the molecular formula for water: H_{2} O!

2) If there are 10 moles of water use a mole ratio to calculate the moles of oxygen it would produce.

(This question is... interesting... since they chose an element that is diatomic in free state so It could TECHNICALLY be two answers, moles of O or moles of O_{2})

The mole ratio is 1 moles of H_{2}O to 1 moles of O. This is because the coefficient for oxygen in water is simple 1, so the ratio is 1:1.

3) that means if 10 moles of water decompose, they decompose into 10 moles of H_{2} and 10 moles of O.

Extra:

About what I was saying before about the question being slightly interesting:

10 moles of pure oxygen is produced but free state oxygen exists as O_{2} so it could possibly be 10 OR 5! However, notice it says elements. This leads me to believe the answer is 10 (monatomic oxygen) instead of 5 (free state/diatomic oxygen).

I hope this helps!
