Answer:

Electrons and protons have opposite electric charge. They are present in the same number, but opposite electric charge. ( since the atom is neutral )

Explanation:

if we look at the periodic table we see, for the sodium atom (Na), that the atomic number (Z) is 11. The atomic number is the number of protons. Protons are positive.

Since this sodium atom is neutral, this means that there are the same number of electrons, which are negative. So also 11 electrons.

Electrons and protons have opposite electric charge.

Following the formula A = Z + N

Here is A = atomic mass, and is the sum of protons ( same as electrons ) + neutrons

As we can see on the periodic table the atomic mass of Sodium(Na) is 23

23 = 11 + N  ⇔ N = 23 -11 = 12 neutrons

0.0145 moles of helium gas are introduced into a balloon so that the volume of the balloon is 2.54 liters. An additional amount
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

4.43L is final volume of the ballon

Explanation:

Avogadro's law of ideal gases states that <em>equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules</em>.

The formula is:

\frac{V_1}{n_1} =\frac{V_2}{n_2}

Where V and n are volume and moles of the gas in initial and final conditions.

If the initial conditions are 0.0145 moles and 2.54L and final amount of moles is 0.0253moles, final volume is:

\frac{2.54L}{0.0145mol} =\frac{V_2}{0.0253mol}

V₂ = <em>4.43L is final volume of the ballon</em>
