Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound XCl_{2}, it can be broken down into X^{2+} and 2Cl^{-}. Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.

Therefore:

For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.

The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.

And the number of neutrons is 14.

Only option B has the correct answer.

How many grams of lithium hypochlorite (LiClO) are there in 0.594 moles?
Flauer [41]

Answer : The mass of lithium hypochlorite are, 34.7 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of LiClO = 0.594 g

Molar mass of LiClO = 58.4 g/mol

Expression used :

\text{ Mass of }LiClO=\text{ Moles of }LiClO\times \text{ Molar mass of }LiClO

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

\text{ Mass of }LiClO=(0.594moles)\times (58.4g/mole)

\text{ Mass of }LiClO=34.7g

Therefore, the mass of lithium hypochlorite are, 34.7 grams.

Use the value of the Avogadro constant (6.02 × 1023 mol–1) to calculate the total number of atoms in 7.10 g of chlorine atoms. (
kolbaska11 [484]

The total number of atoms in 7.10g of chlorine is 1.204 × 10²³atoms.

HOW TO CALCULATE NUMBER OF ATOMS:

  • The number of atoms in a substance can be calculated by multiplying the number of moles in that substance by Avogadro's number as follows:

  • no. of atoms = no. of moles × 6.02 × 10²³ mol-¹

  • The number of moles in 7.10g of Cl is calculated as follows:

no. of moles = mass ÷ molar mass

no. of moles = 7.10g ÷ 35.5g/mol

no. of moles = 0.2mol

no of atoms = 0.2mol × 6.02 × 10²³

no. of atoms = 1.204 × 10²³atoms.

  • Therefore, the total number of atoms in 7.10g of chlorine is 1.204 × 10²³atoms.
