Answer:

It has 28 neutrons

Explanation:

Hi, by definition the mass number of an element if given by:

$A=n_{protons}+n_{neutrons}$

Knowing the mass number of chromiun and the amount of protons it has:

$52=24+n_{neutrons}$

$n_{neutrons}=52-24$

$n_{neutrons}=28$

It has 28 neutrons

Chromium has a total of 28 neutrons. This is found because we subtract the number of protons (the atomic number) from the mass number. 52 minus 24 gives us 28. It also has 24 electrons.

<h3>Reducing agent</h3>

A reducing agent is a chemical species that "donates" one electron to another chemical species in chemistry (called the oxidizing agent, oxidant, oxidizer, or electron acceptor). Earth metals, formic acid, oxalic acid, and sulfite compounds are a few examples of common reducing agents.

Reducers have excess electrons (i.e., they are already reduced) in their pre-reaction states, whereas oxidizers do not. Usually, a reducing agent is in one of the lowest oxidation states it can be in. The oxidation state of the oxidizer drops while the oxidizer's oxidation state, which measures the amount of electron loss, increases. The agent in a redox process whose oxidation state rises, which "loses/donates electrons," which "oxidizes," and which "reduces" is known as the reducer or reducing agent.

What term best defines the process that occurs when nuclei combine to produce a nucleus with more mass?

bekas [8.4K]

I just answered your other question and wrote all the definitions of the terms. I would say this is probably refering to Fusion because you are fusing together more nuclei into one nucleus. Fusion= bringing separate things into one entity.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

[Given] 36 g H₂O

[Solve] x g O₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 2 mol O₂ → 2 mol H₂O

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mas of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O₂ - 2(16.00) = 32.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of H₂O - 2(1.01) + 16.00 = 18.02 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

Set up conversion: $\displaystyle 36 \ g \ H_2O(\frac{1 \ mol \ H_2O}{18.02 \ g \ H_2O})(\frac{2 \ mol \ O_2}{2 \ mol \ H_2O})(\frac{32.00 \ g \ O_2}{1 \ mol \ O_2})$
