Answer:

Explanation:

The overall charge on this atom is 0.

To find the charge on an atom;

charge = number of protons - number of electrons.

Note:

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
Electrons are the negatively charged particles in an atom
Neutrons carries no charges on them.

Since the atom is made up of equal number of protons and electrons, the charge on it is 0.

If the number of electrons is more, the atom will be negatively charge but if the number of protons is more, it will be positively charged.

A 12.0 g sample of gas occupies 19.2 L at STP. what is the of moles and molecular weight of this gas?

lubasha [3.4K]

At STP, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of about 22.4 L. So if n is the number of moles of this gas, then

n / (19.2 L) = (1 mole) / (22.4 L) ==> n = (19.2 L•mole) / (22.4 L) ≈ 0.857 mol

If the sample has a mass of 12.0 g, then its molecular weight is

(12.0 g) / n ≈ 14.0 g/mol
