Answer: An atomic number represent protons in an atom.

Explanation:

An atom consists of electrons, protons, and neutrons. The protons and neutrons are present inside the nucleus of an atom whereas the electrons revolve around the nucleus of an atom.

The number of protons in an atom represents the atomic number of that particular atom. Further, this atomic number determines the place of each atom in the periodic table and its chemical properties.

For example, the mass number of sodium atom is 23 that is number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number of sodium is 11 that means there are 11 protons. The number of neutrons will be 23 - 11 = 12.

How many grams of lead(II) sulfate (303 g/mol) are needed to react with sodium chromate (162 g/mol) in order to produce 0.162 kg

Afina-wow [57]

Answer : The mass of $PbSO_4$ needed are, 1.515 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mole of $PbCrO_4$ .

$\text{Moles of }PbCrO_4=\frac{\text{Mass of }PbCrO_4}{\text{Molar mass of }PbCrO_4}=\frac{0.162g}{323g/mole}=0.005mole$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $PbSO_4$ .

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$PbSO_4+Na_2CrO_4\rightarrow PbCrO_4+Na_2SO_4[tex]From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude thatAs, 1 mole of [tex]PbCrO_4$ produced from 1 mole of $PbSO_4$

So, 0.005 mole of $PbCrO_4$ produced from 0.005 mole of $PbSO_4$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $PbSO_4$

$\text{Mass of }PbSO_4=\text{Moles of }PbSO_4\times \text{Molar mass of }PbSO_4$

$\text{Mass of }PbSO_4=0.005mole\times 303g/mole=1.515g$

Therefore, the mass of $PbSO_4$ needed are, 1.515 grams.
