The atomic mass of helium-4 is 4.0026 amu. How many of each

Chemistry
1 answer:
umka21 [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Protons: 2.

Electrons: 2.

Neutrons: 2.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since an atom's atomic number is equal to the number of electrons, considering the electron configurations, taking into account that helium-4 is neither positively nor negatively charged, we can infer that the number of electrons equal the number of protons, which in this case are 2, due to the fact that is atomic number is 2.

Moreover, as helium-4's atomic number is 4 as a whole number, we compute the number of neutrons by using the shown below equation:

Neutrons=mass\ number-atomic\ number\\\\Neutrons=4-2\\\\Neutrons=2

Regards.

Why did evaporation cause the temperature to drop for each liquid? Explain exactlywhat happens on a molecular level to the parti
erik [133]

Explanation:

The conversion of the liquid to the vapor below boiling temperature of liquid is called evaporation.

Each molecule in liquid phase is attracted to other molecules in liquid by the intermolcular forces of attraction. When the process of evaporation starts, the molecules has to change the phase from the liquid to vapor for which they have to break all these interaction so that they can escape. The molecules with sufficient energy to do so only can do this. These molecules with high energy leave and remaining molecules are ones which did not have the enough energy to evaporate. Thus, average kinetic energy of molecules in liquid left behind is lower than it was before. <u>So, evaporation is a cooling process because heat of the molecules was used up for breaking hotter molecules out into gas phase and the left ones are cooled. </u>

How many grams of 02 will be formed from 6.5 moles of KCLO3
Allisa [31]

Answer:

312 g of O₂

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2KClO₃ —> 2KCl + 3O₂

From the balanced equation above,

2 mole of KClO₃ decomposed to 3 moles of O₂.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of O₂ produced by the reaction of 6.5 moles of KClO₃. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 mole of KClO₃ decomposed to 3 moles of O₂.

Therefore, 6.5 moles of KClO₃ will decompose to produce = (6.5 × 3)/2 = 9.75 moles of O₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 9.75 moles of O₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of O₂ = 9.75 moles

Molar mass of O₂ = 2 × 16 = 32 g/mol

Mass of O₂ =?

Mole = mass / Molar mass

9.75 = Mass of O₂ / 32

Cross multiply

Mass of O₂ = 9.75 × 32

Mass of O₂ = 312 g

Thus, 312 g of O₂ were obtained from the reaction.
