Answer:

30, 50

Explanation:

Hello,

In this since an element's atomic number is equal to the number of protons in its atom, we can infer that selenium's atomic number is 30. Moreover, due to the fact the the neutrons are equal to the atomic mass minus the atomic number or the number of protons, by knowing the number of neutrons we compute the atomic as follows:

$neutrons=mass-protons\\\\mass=neutrons+protons\\\\mass=30+20\\\\mass=50a.m.u$

Thus, answer is 30, 50.

Best regards.

How is synthesis and decomposition reaction related to each other???

Anit [1.1K]

They are kind of opposite processes. Chemical synthesis is execution of chemical reactions to make products. Like you take two substances, you put them together, they react and you have new a substance. For example. $2Na+{ Cl }_{ 2 }\rightarrow 2NaCl$ here Sodium and Chlorine react to make a new substance which is Sodium Chloride.

Chemical decomposition is process of seperating a substance to different substances. There is a substance by a reaction this substance becomes two substances, Like : XY -> X+Y For example : $2{ H }_{ 2 }O(l)\quad \rightarrow 2{ H }_{ 2 }+{ O }_{ 2 }$

For the following reaction, 5.04 grams of nitrogen gas are allowed to react with 8.98 grams of oxygen gas: nitrogen(g) + oxygen(

OLga [1]

Answer:

1. 10.8 g of NO

2. N₂ is the limting reagent

3. 3.2 g of O₂ does not react

Explanation:

We determine the reaction: N₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2NO(g)

We need to determine the limiting reactant, but first we need the moles of each:

5.04 g / 29 g/mol = 0.180 moles N₂

8.98 g / 32 g/mol = 0.280 moles O₂

Ratio is 1:1, so the limiting reactant is the N₂. For 0.280 moles of O₂ I need the same amount, but I only have 0.180 moles of N₂

Ratio is 1:2. 1 mol of N₂ can produce 2 moles of NO

Then, 0.180 moles of N₂ may produce (0.180 .2) / 1 = 0.360 moles NO

If we convert them to mass → 0.360 mol . 30 g/1 mol = 10.8 g

As ratio is 1:1, for 0.180 moles of N₂, I need 0.180 moles of O₂.

As I have 0.280 moles of O₂, (0.280 - 0.180 ) = 0.100 moles does not react.

0.1 moles . 32 g/mol = 3.2 g of O₂ remains after the reaction is complete.

How many grams of water, H20 are needed if 88<br> grams of CO2 gas are produced?

joja [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

If one mole of carbon monoxide has a mass of 28.01 g and one mole of carbon dioxide has a mass of 44.01 g , it follows that the reaction produces 44.01 g of carbon dioxide for every 28.01 g of carbon monoxide.
