Chemistry

Answer: The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.

Explanation: the atomic number of an element is simply the proton number of that element. This is the most reason while the ion of a particular element still retain its atomic number whether it gains or loss electrons. For example, sodium atom (Na) has 11 electrons, 11 protons and 12 neutrons. Sodium ion (Na+) on the other hand has 10 electrons because it loss one electron, 11 proton and 12 neutrons. If the atomic number was to be determined by the number of electrons, then the atomic number of sodium atom and sodium ion would have been different. So the best way to determine the atomic number is by the number of protons. Neutron number will only bring about isotope and not atomic number

Small quantities of oxygen can be prepared in the laboratory by heating potassium chlorate, KClO 3 ( s ) . The equation for the
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Mass of O_2 produced = 32 g

Explanation:

Calculation of the moles of KClO_3 as:-

Mass = 82.4 g

Molar mass of KClO_3 = 122.55 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{82.4\ g}{122.55\ g/mol}

Moles= 0.67237\ mol

From the reaction shown below:-

2KClO_3\rightarrow 2KCl+3O_2

2 moles of potassium chlorate on reaction forms 3 moles of oxygen gas

So,

0.67237 moles of potassium chlorate on reaction forms \frac{3}{2}\times  0.67237 moles of oxygen gas

Moles of oxygen gas = 1 mole

Molar mass of oxygen gas  = 32 g/mol

<u>Mass of O_2 produced = 32 g</u>
