How many electron are in 56fe 3

The periodic table is arranged in a way so that with each step the number of protons in the nucleus is increased by 1. It makes it for an easy choice to designate elements with numbers - atomic numbers, because in that case atomic number shows the number of protons possessed by the nucleus. Like this:
H has 1 proton
He has 2 protons
Li has 3 protons
Be has 4 protons and so on

Each proton has a charge of +1. The other particle present in the nucleus - the neutron - has zero electrical charge and thus irrelevant when computing the charge of a nucleus. It is easy to deduce that the nucleus charge equals the number of protons (which in turn equals the atomic number). So the nucleus charges are:
for H it's+1
for He it's +2
for Li it's +3
for Be it's +4 and so on

Atom is an electroneutral particle by definition. It means it's summed charge must be 0. Since we've looked at everything within the nucleus (the protons and the neutrons) it's time we turn our gaze to the space around it, which is full of orbiting electrons. Each electron has a charge of -1. To make up for the positive charge in the nucleus you have to fill the space aroung the nucleus with negative electrons.Thanks to the elementary nature of both proton and electron charge, you simply have to take the same number of electrons as that of protons! Like this:
H has 1 proton and 1 electron
He has 2 protons and 2 electrons
Li has 3 protons and 3 electrons
Be has 4 protons and 4 electrons and so on

Fe has atomic number 26. It means that Fe has 26 protons and 26 electrons. If it's a neutral atom

You typed 3. Is it accidental? If so, then the answer is above. If not, then you could be trying to type 56Fe +3, which means an ionic iron with charge +3. Charges are formed when you have too many or too few electrons to counter-balance the prositive charge of the nucleus. Charge +3 means you're 3 electrons short to negate the nucleus positive charge.

In other words, Fe+3 has 26 protons and 23 electrons.

What is the concentration of a solution containing 1.11 g sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11, MW = 342.3 g/mol, d = 1.587 g/cm3) in 432 m
djyliett [7]

Answer:

0.0075 M

0.0060 m

Explanation:

Our strategy here is to use the definition of molarity and molality to solve this question.

The molarity is the number of moles of solute, sucrose in this case, per liter of solution.

The molality is the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.

So the molarity of the  solution is

M = moles of solute/ V solution

As we see we need the volume of solution since we are only given the volume of solvent, but this will be easy to compute since we have the density of  sucrose.

So determine the moles of sucrose , and the volume of solution:

Moles sucrose = 1.11 g/342.3 g/mol = 3.24 x 10⁻³ M

Volume of solution = Vol Sucrose + Vol glycerine

d = m/V ⇒ Vsucrose = m / d = 1.11 g/ 1.587 g/cm³ = 0.70 cm³

Vol solution = 432 mL + 0.70 mL = 432.7 mL  (1cm³  = 1 mL)

Vol solution = 432.7 mL x 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.4327 L

⇒ M = 3.2 x 10⁻³  mol / 0.4327 L = 0.0075  M

For the molarity what we need is to first calculate the kilograms of glycerine from the given density:

d = m/v ⇒ m = d x v = 1.261 g/cm³ x  432 cm³ = 544.75 g

Converting to Kg:

544.75 g x 1 Kg/ 1000 g = 0.544 kg

Now the molality is

m = mol sucrose/ kg solvent = 3.24 x 10⁻³ mol / 0.544 Kg = 0.0060 m

Note: In the calculation for  volume of solution we could have approximated it to that of just glycerine, but since the density of sucrose was given we calculated the total volume of solution to be more rigorous.
