<u>Answer:</u> The element is Fluorine.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Atomic mass is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

We are given:

Number of protons = 9 = Atomic number

Number of electrons = 9

Number of neutrons = 10

Mass number = 9 + 10 = 19

The element having atomic number equal to 9 and mass number equal to 19 is fluorine.

Hence, the element is Fluorine.

The correct answer is C.  We know this is true since the number of protons an atom has is its atomic number.  Since this atom  has 9 protons, look for the element on the periodic table that has an atomic number of 9.  The element that has an atomic number of 9 is flouring.

I hope this helps.

The limiting reactant, O2, can form up to 2.7 mol Al2O3. What mass of Al2O3 forms?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

280 g Al₂O₃

Explanation:

To find the mass, you need to multiply the given value by the molar mass. This will cause the conversion because the molar mass exists as a ratio; technically, the ratio states that there are 101.96 grams per every 1 mole Al₂O₃. It is important to arrange the ratio in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. In this case, the desired unit (grams) should be in the numerator. The final answer should have 2 sig figs to reflect the given value (2.7 mol).

Molar Mass (Al₂O₃): 101.96 g/mol

2.7 moles Al₂O₃          101.96 g
------------------------  x  -------------------  = 275 g Al₂O₃  = 280 g Al₂O₃
                                     1 mole

How many total atoms are in 0.290 g of P2O5?
Sliva [168]

There are 8.61 × 10²⁰ atoms in 0.290 g P₂O₅.

Step 1. Convert <em>grams of P₂O₅ to moles of P₂O₅</em>.

\text{Moles of P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} = \text{0.290 g } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} \times \frac{\text{1 mol }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}}{\text{141.94 g }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}} = \text{0.002 043 mol } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} \\

Step 2. Convert <em>moles of P₂O₅ to molecules of P₂O₅</em>.

\text{Molecules of } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} = \text{0.002 043 mol } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} \times \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}}{\text{1 mol } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}}\\

= 1.23 \times10^{21}\text{ molecules } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}\\

Step 3. Convert <em>molecules of P₂O₅ to atoms</em>.

There are seven atoms in 1 mol P₂O₅.

∴ \text{Total atoms} = 1.23\times 10^{21 }\text{ molecules }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} \times\frac{\text{7 atoms}}{\text{1 molecule }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}} = 8.61 \times 10^{21}\text{ atoms}\\
