Answer:

  • Please, find the drawing in the picture attached.

Explanation:

A simple model or drawing of the structure of an atom may be performed showing the electrons on the different energy levels (shells), plus the nucleons (protons and neutrons).

Then, you need the information on:

  • number of protons (atomic number)
  • electron configuration
  • number of neutrons

The first step is  to find the atomic number of the atom. You find that information in the periodic table, where the elements are show with their chemical symbol.

The chemical symbol of sodium is Na. It is located in the group (colum) 1 and period (raw) 3. There you find that the atomic number is 11. Hence your drawing must show 11 protons.

Since the atom is neutral, the number of electrons is also 11. So, you must place the electrons in the following energy levels or shells:

Main energy level      shell   number of electrons

n = 1                              K         2 (this is the maximum in this level)

n= 2                              L          8 (this is the maximun in this level)

n= 3                              M         1 (the maximum in this level is 18)

Now that you have the number of protons and the location of the electrons, you must determine the number of neutrons.

In the periodict table you will also find the atomic mass of the elements. The atomic mass of sodium is 22.990 amu. That means that most sodium atoms have mass number (number of protons plus neutrons) 23. Some isotopes will have less neutrons, but you can draw your model using the most typical isotope with 23 nucleons. This means, that the number of neutrons is 23 nucleons - 11 protons = 12 neutrons.

Alexus [3.1K]
Electrons in atoms can act as our charge carrier, because every electron carries a negative charge. If we can free an electron from an atom and force it to move, we can create electricity.

A major component of gasoline is octane (C8H18). When octane is burned in air, it chemically reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to prod
Olin [163]

Answer:

The answer is 6.25g.

Explanation:

First create your balanced equation. This will give you the stoich ratios needed to answer the question:

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Remember, we need to work in terms of NUMBERS, but the question gives us MASS. Therefore the next step is to convert the mass of O2 into moles of O2 by dividing by the molar mass:

7.72 g / 16 g/mol = 0.482 mol

Now we can use the stoich ratio from the equation to determine how many moles of H2O are produced:

x mol H2O / 0.482 mol O2 = 18 H2O / 25 O2

x = 0.347 mol H2O

The question wants the mass of water, so convert moles back into mass by multiplying by the molar mass of water:

0.347 mol x 18 g/mol = 6.25g

The solubility of oxygen gas in water at 40 ∘c is 1.0 mmol/l of solution. What is this concentration in units of mole fraction?
juin [17]

The formula for mole fraction is:

mole fraction of solute = \frac{number of moles of solute}{total number of moles of solution}    -(1)

The solubility of oxygen gas = 1.0 mmol/L  (given)

1.0 mmol/L means 1.0 mmol are present in 1 L.

Converting mmol to mol:

1.00 mmol\times \frac{1 mol}{1000 mmol} = 0.001 mol

So, moles of oxygen = 0.001 mol

For moles of water:

1 L of water = 1000 mL of water

Since, the density of water is 1.0 g/mL.

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Mass = 1.0 g/ml\times 1000 mL = 1000 g

So, the mass of water is 1000 g.

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol.

Number of moles of water = \frac{1000 g}{18 g/mol} = 55.55 mol

Substituting the values in formula (1):

mole fraction = \frac{0.001}{55.55+0.001}

mole fraction = 1.8\times 10^{-5}

Hence, the mole fraction is 1.8\times 10^{-5}.
