The mass number of an atom is its total number of protons and neutrons. Atoms of different elements usually have different mass numbers , but they can be the same. For example, the mass number of argon atoms and calcium atoms can both be 40.

How many molecules are there in 237 grams of CCl4
Otrada [13]
Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. We calculate as follows:

237g CCl4 (1 mol / 153.81 g ) (6.022 x 10^23 molecules / 1 mol ) = 9.28x10^23 molecules

An atom of chlorine with a mass number of 37 contains __ protons and __ neutrons.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Its in the Explanation

Explanation:

Here's what I got.

Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to  

27

.

Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminum, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.

The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminum has an atomic number equal to  

13

.

This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminum will have  

13

protons in its nucleus.

Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.

Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have  

13

electrons surrounding its nucleus.

Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have

mass number

=

no. of protons

+

no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = 27 − 13 = 14

Your welcome :)
