Answer: 55

Explanation: A atom consists of a nucleus  and electrons.Nucleus contain neutrons with no charge and protons with positive charge. The electrons bearing negative charge revolve around the nucleus.

An electrically neutral atom contains equal number of protons and electrons. Thus if a neutral element X contains 55 protons, it also contains 55 electrons.

If the element has 55 protons it is celcium and it also has 55 electrons. It has an atomic mass of 133 (132.9) so to get the number of neutrons you subtract the atomic mass and the number of protons.

What substance is oxidized in the reaction Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Mg

Explanation:

Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu

Magnesium is oxidized because its oxidation state increased from 0 to +2 while Cu is reduced because its oxidation state decreased from +2 to 0.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

<em>Consider the following reactions. </em>

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄  →  Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is  also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

What is molar mass......?
Savatey [412]

In chemistry, the molar mass M is a physical property defined as the mass of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound) divided by its amount of substance. The base SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol. However, for historical reasons, molar masses are almost always expressed in g/mol.

Hope this helped!

Good luck :p
