Answer:
20 electrons
A neutral atom with atomic number 20 will have 20 electrons.
The atomic number is, by definiton, the number of protons in an atom's nucleus but for a neutral atom it's also equal to the number of electrons. Each element has a different, unique number of protons that determines its identity.
Explanation:
2KClO3 --> 2KClO2 + O2
12 6 (moles)
The ratio of KClO3 and O2 is 2:1. This means 2 moles of KClO3 can create 1 mole of O2. So 12 moles of KClO3 will create 6 moles of O2.
From the periodic table:
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams
Therefore,
molar mass of <span>c17h22clno4 = 17(12) + 22(1) + 35.5 + 14 + 4(16) = 339.5 grams
number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = (23*10^-3) / (339.5)
number of moles = 6.77 * 10^-5 moles
number of atoms = number of moles * Avogadro's number
number of atoms = 6.77*10^-5 * 6.022*10^-23
number of atoms = 4.079 * 10^-27 atoms</span>
<span>The mass of an object is measured in either grams or kilograms. Mass is best described as the amount of matter, or "stuff," in a solid, and is different from weight (which is the force of gravity on an object). Since mass is used with solids, it will be measured in grams or kilograms (rather than in something like liters, which would be used with the volume of a liquid). To measure mass, you can use a balance, for example a triple balance beam.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
To find the mass percent composition of an element, divide the mass contribution of the element by the total molecular mass. This number must then be multiplied by 100% to be expressed as a percent.
