Answer:

                      An atom of ¹¹⁸Xe contains 64 neutrons.

Explanation:

Number of Protons:

            The number of protons present in any atom are equal to the atomic number of that particular atom. Hence, as the atomic number of Xenon is 54 therefore, it contains 54 protons.

Number Neutrons:

            The number of neutrons present in atom are calculated as,

                              # of Neutrons  =  Atomic Mass - # of protons

As given,

                               Atomic Mass  =  118

                               # of Protons  =  54

So,

                               # of Neutrons  =  118 - 54

                               # of Neutrons  =  64

How many moles are in 442.8 g of strontium carbonate (SrCO3)?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

3 moles

Explanation:

SrCO3

Mass = 442.8g

Molar mass = (87.6 + 12 * [16*3]) = 147.6g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 442.8 / 147.6

Number of moles = 3

One radioactive isotope of calcium has an atomic mass of 47,how many neutrons are in the calcium -47 nucleus
jekas [21]

Answer: 27 neutrons

Explanation:

Recall that the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom = Atomic number.

Hence, Calcium with mass number 47 and atomic number 20 will have 20 protons

Therefore, since Mass number = number of protons + neutrons

47 = 20 + neutrons

Neutrons = 47 - 20 = 27

Thus, there are 27 neutrons in radioactive calcium nucleus.
