Answer : The correct answer is, (c) the number of neutrons

Explanation :

Isotope : It is defined as the element that have the same number of protons but have the different number of neutrons of each of the atom.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number

For example : For Carbon - 13 isotope.

Mass number = 13

Atomic number = 6

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number

Number of neutrons = 13 - 6 = 7

Hence, the difference between the mass number of an isotope and its atomic number is the number of neutrons.

When a solution containing 1.4000 g of Ba(NO3)2 and 2.4000 g of HSO3NH2 is boiled, a precipitate forms. One possible identity fo
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

See explanation for detailed solution

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation is Ba(NO3)2 + 2HSO3NH2 → Ba(SO3NH2)2 + 2HNO3

Number of moles of Ba(NO3)2 = 1.4 g/ 261.337 g/mol = 5.36 × 10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of Ba(NO3)2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2

5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(NO3)2 yields 5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(SO3NH2)2

For HSO3NH2

Number of moles = 2.4g/97.10 g/mol =0.0247 moles

2 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2

0.0247 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 0.0247 ×1/2 = 0.0137 moles

Hence, Ba(NO3)2 is the limiting reactant

The theoretical yield of Ba(SO3NH2)2 is 5.36 × 10^-3 moles × 329.4986 g/mol = 1.766 g

b)

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass = mass/ number of moles

Molar mass = 1.6925 g/5.36 × 10^-3 moles = 315.76 g

What is the molarity of solution that contains 5.80 grams of nickel nitrate,ni(no3)2 in 500.ml?
OleMash [197]
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution 
molar mass of Ni(NO₃)₂ - 182.7 g/mol
number of moles of Ni(NO₃)₂ - 5.80 g/ 182.7 g/mol = 0.0317 mol
number of moles in 500 mL - 0.0317 mol
therefore number of moles in 1000 mL - 0.0317 mol / 500 mL x 1000 mL/L 
molarity of the solution is - 0.0634 M
