How to we know how many neutrons are in the atoms we draw models for ? (We represent average atoms, not ions or isotopes)

Chemistry

Delvig [45]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Atoms is the smallest unit of a chemical element and consist of three main components protons, neutrons, and electrons.

The number of a neutron is based on the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z). every isotope of an element has a different number of neutron.

But in a neutral atom or average atom, the number of neutrons is equal to the number of protons and the number of electron.

Example of the number of neutrons in an average atom: In Nitrogen-14, the atomic number and the number of protons is 7, it means the number of neutrons will also 7.

When 2.000 g of solid NaOH (∆Hsoln = -445.1kJ/mol) dissolves in 10.00 L of water, how much heat is released?
icang [17]
For the first question, the correct answer would be 44.51 kJ. It is calculated by multiplying the amount of the substance in moles by the heat of the solution. For the second question, the correct answer would be a catalyst causes <span>a lowering the activation energy barrier.</span>

Would aluminum be as useful as food wrapping if it had a much lower melting point? Explain your answer.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The correct answers are as follows:

1. Aluminium will not be useful as food wrapping if it has a much lower melting point.

Aluminum is a metallic element that is malleable and soft, thus, it is easy to beat it into thin sheet, which are used to package food. The thin sheet is called aluminium foil. Aluminum is useful as a food wrapping because it has high temperature and thus, it does not react with food (the hotness of the packaged food is not capable of melting the metal). If the melting point of aluminium is lower, this implies that little temperature, such as the one from hot food will be able to melt aluminum foil, thus allowing the food to be contaminated with the metal.

2. When bleach react with fabric dye chemical change occur in the fabric.

The major element in bleach is chlorine. When laundry bleach is added to a fabric, the chlorine component of the bleach will react with the fabric dye and cause a colour change in the fabric. This type of change is called chemical change, because the original colour of the fabric can not be recovered.

3. Every substance has specific properties, which can be used to identify it. Two of such specific properties are melting point and boiling point. Melting point refers to a specific temperature at which a solid substance will melt while boiling point refers to a specific temperature at which a liquid substance will boil and turn to steam.

Water for instance has a boiling point of 100 degree Celsius. To find out if an unknown substance is water, one can determine the boiling point of such liquid. A boiling point of 100 degree Celsius will strongly signify that the substance is probably water. The same thing applies to melting point. If the specific boiling and melting point of substances are known, then they can be used to identify them.

1. A mixture of salt and iron filings has a mass of 4.5g. A student determined that the iron
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 66.7 % of Iron filings

Explanation:

Data

Mixture salt - iron filigs = 4.5 g

Iron filings mass = 3.0 g

Formula

Percent composition = (mass of solute/mass of solvent) x 100

Percent composition = (3.0 / 4.5 g) x 100

Percent composition = 66.7%
