Rutherford postulated the existence of some neutral particle having mass similar to proton but there was no direct experimental evidence. Several theories and experimental observations eventually led the discovery of neutron.
Answer:
17.65 grams of O2 are needed for a complete reaction.
Explanation:
You know the reaction:
4 NH₃ + 5 O₂ --------> 4 NO + 6 H₂O
First you must know the mass that reacts by stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction). For that you must first know the reacting mass of each compound. You know the values of the atomic mass of each element that form the compounds:
- N: 14 g/mol
- H: 1 g/mol
- O: 16 g/mol
So, the molar mass of the compounds in the reaction is:
- NH₃: 14 g/mol + 3*1 g/mol= 17 g/mol
- O₂: 2*16 g/mol= 32 g/mol
- NO: 14 g/mol + 16 g/mol= 30 g/mol
- H₂O: 2*1 g/mol + 16 g/mol= 18 g/mol
By stoichiometry, they react and occur in moles:
- NH₃: 4 moles
- O₂: 5 moles
- NO: 4 moles
- H₂O: 6 moles
Then in mass, by stoichiomatry they react and occur:
- NH₃: 4 moles*17 g/mol= 68 g
- O₂: 5 moles*32 g/mol= 160 g
- NO: 4 moles*30 g/mol= 120 g
- H₂O: 6 moles*18 g/mol= 108 g
Now to calculate the necessary mass of O₂ for a complete reaction, the rule of three is applied as follows: if by stoichiometry 68 g of NH₃ react with 160 g of O₂, 7.5 g of NH₃ with how many grams of O₂ will it react?

mass of O₂≅17.65 g
<u><em>17.65 grams of O2 are needed for a complete reaction.</em></u>
Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged).
Cl2O5+H20-->2HClO3
Just remember to have the same number of each element on both sides of the equation.
