Answer:

3. number of protons

Explanation:

In a neutral atom, the total number of electrons in such an atom is equal to the number of protons.

There are three fundamentally known sub-atomic particles in an atom. They are:

Protons which are positively charged and are contained in the nucleus

Neutrons which do not carry any charges

Electrons which are negatively charged.

Both of protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus.

Atoms are charged by gaining of losing electrons.

When an atom gains electrons, they become negatively charged and the number of electrons in them becomes more than that of protons.

When they lose electrons, they become positively charged as the the number of protons is more.

Neutral atoms have equal number of protons and electrons in them.

What is the simplest formula of a compound if a sample of the compound contains 0.221 mol X, 0.442 mol Y, and 0.884 mol Z? chemP

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

XY₂Z₄

2.35 mol Z

Explanation:

A sample of the compound contains 0.221 mol X, 0.442 mol Y, and 0.884 mol Z. We can find the simplest formula (empirical formula) by <em>dividing all the numbers of moles by the smallest one</em>.

X: 0.221/0.221 = 1

Y: 0.442/0.221 = 2

Z: 0.884/0.221 = 4

The simplest formula is XY₂Z₄.

The molar ratio of X to Z is 1:4. The moles of Z in a sample that contained 0.588 moles of X is:

0.588 mol X × (4 mol Z/1 mol X) = 2.35 mol Z

A 4.00g sample of helium has a volume of 24.4L at a temperature of 25.0oC and a pressure of 1.00 atm. The volume of the helium i

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

0.41 moles.

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of helium = 4.00 g

Initial Volume = 24.4 L

initial Temperature = 25.0 °C =( 25 + 273) = 298 K

initial Pressure = 1.00 atm

The volume was reduced to :

i.e

final volume of the helium - 10.4 L

Change in ΔV = 24.4 - 10.4 = 10.0 L

Temperature and pressure remains constant.

The new quantity of gas can be calculated by using the ideal gas equation.

PV = nRT

n = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

n = $\frac{1.00*10.0}{0.082057*298}$

n = 0.4089 moles

n = 0.41 moles.

Metals lose electrons under certain conditions to attain a noble gas electron configuration. How many electrons must be lost by

viva [34]

Answer:

2 electrons

E. neon

Explanation:

Metals lose electrons under certain conditions to attain a noble gas electron configuration. Magnesium has 12 electrons and its electron configuration is

1s² 2s² 2p6⁶ 3s²

When magnesium loses 2 electrons, it acquires the electron configuration of neon (10 electrons).

Question 5

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

There are 17.64% students received B+ grades.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total number of students in chemistry class is 17

We need to find the percentage received by B+.

Number of students having B+ grades are 3 (from graph)

Required percentage = $P=\dfrac{3}{17}\times 100=17.64\%$

So, there are 17.64% students received B+ grades.
