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.

The balanced reaction formula is 2CuO + C = 2Cu + CO2. The change the 365 g to mole: 365/79.5=4.6 mol. So you can get 2.3 mol CO2. The mass is 2.3*44=101 g. So the answer is a.

Answer:

Ratio between the reactants is 1:1, so if 2 moles of potassium sulfate react, The reaction consumes 2 moles of barium chloride

The reaction produces 2 moles of barium sulfate ( ratio is 1:1) and 4 moles of potassium chloride. (Ratio with this is 2:4)

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

BaCl₂(aq) + K₂SO₄(aq) → BaSO₄(s) + 2KCl(aq)

Ratio between the reactants is 1:1, so if 2 moles of potassium sulfate react, The reaction consumes 2 moles of barium chloride

The reaction produces 2 moles of barium sulfate ( ratio is 1:1) and 4 moles of potassium chloride. (Ratio with this is 2:4)
