Answer:

If an atom were to gain or lose neutrons it becomes an isotope. ... If it gains a neutron it become an isotope called deuterium. Since the atomic mass is the total of the number of protons and neutrons, an isotope would have a different atomic mass, but the same atomic number as the original atom

Answer:

Its mass is lowered, but it is still the same element.

Explanation:

When the atom loses a<em> neutron</em>, it still remains as the same <em>element</em>. The only thing that would change is the <em>mass.</em>

Fritz Haber, a German chemist, discovered a way to synthesize ammonia gas (NH3) by combining hydrogen and nitrogen gases accordi
Westkost [7]
1) Write the balanced equation to state the molar ratios:

<span>3H2(g) + N2(g) → 2NH3(g)

=> molar ratios = 3 mol H2 : 1 mol N2 : 2 mol NH3

What volume of nitrogen is needed to produce 250.0 L of ammonia gas at STP?

First, convert the 250.0 L of NH3 to number of moles at STP .

Use the fact that 1 mole of gas at STP occupies 22.4 L

=> 250.0 L * 1mol/22.4 L = 11.16 L

Second, use the molar ratio to find the number of moles of N2 that produces 11.16 L of NH3

=> 11.16 L NH3 * [1 mol N2 / 2 mol NH3] = 5.58 mol N2

Third, convert 5.58 mol N2 into liters at STP

=> 5.58 mol N2 * [22.4 L/mol] = 124.99 liters

Answer: 124,99 liters

What volume of hydrogen is needed to produce 2.50 mol NH3 at STP?
 

First, find the number of moles of H2 that produce 2.50 mol by using the molar ratios:

2.50 mol NH3 * [3mol H2 / 2 mol NH3] = 3.75 mol H2

Second, convert the number of moles to liters of gas at STP:

3.75 mol * 22.4 L/mol =  84 liters of H2

Answer: 84 liters

A gas is at a pressure of 4.30 atm. what is this pressure in kilopascals? in mm hg?
Monica [59]
Units to measure pressure are as follows
atm - atmospheric pressure units
kPa - kilo Pascals
mm Hg - milimeters Hg
conversion units are;
 1 atm = 101 325 Pa
therefore 4.30 atm = 101 325 Pa / atm x 4.30 atm = 435.7 Pa

1 atm = 760.0 mm Hg
 4.30 atm = 760.0 mm Hg / atm x 4.30 atm = 3268 mm Hg

answers are 435.7 Pa and 3268 mm Hg

What does a metal's position in an activity series indicate about the chemical properties of that particular metal?
Fed [463]
The closer to the top the metal is in the list, the more active the metal is and the stronger a reducing agent the metal is. When two different metals are involved in a redox reaction, the metal higher in the list will be oxidized and give up electrons that will reduce the cation of the less active metal.
