The mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Since there are 16 neutrons, there are 14 protons. This also corresponds to the atomic number, so this atom's atomic number is 14 which is also Silicon

<u>Answer:</u> The atomic number of an atom is 14.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 16

Mass number = 30

Number of protons = Atomic number = Mass number - Number of neutrons = 30 - 16 = 14

Hence, the atomic number of an atom is 14.

What is the correct equation for the reaction quotient of the following reaction? 2Fe3+(aq) + Zn(s) ⇌ 2Fe2+(aq) + Zn2+(aq)
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Explanation:

A reaction quotient is defined as the ratio of concentration of products over reactants raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients.

A reaction quotient is denoted by the symbol Q.

For example, 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + Zn(s) \rightleftharpoons 2Fe^{2+}(aq) + Zn^{2+}(aq)

The reaction quotient for this reaction is as follows.

            Q = \frac{[Fe^{2+}]^{2}[Zn^{2+}]}{[Fe^{3+}]^{2}}

[Zn] will be equal to 1 as it is present in solid state. Therefore, we don't need to write it in the reaction quotient expression.
