^{16}_{\phantom{1}8}\text{O}.

Oxygen-16 is the atom in question.

  • Atomic number: 8.
  • Mass number: 16.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

The superscript of the ion says "2-". That means that the ion here carries a charge of -2.

  • The charge is negative, meaning that there are more electrons (which are negative) than protons (which are positive) in that ion.
  • The size of the charge is 2. There are two more electrons than protons in that ion.

There are 10 electrons in total in that ion. There are two more electrons than protons. That means that there are 10 - 2 = 8 protons in that ion.

The atomic number of an atom is the same as its number of protons. The atomic number of X is 8.

The atomic number determines the element. Atomic number 8 is oxygen. Thus element X is oxygen.

Mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons in an atom. 8 + 8 = 16 for this atom.

A sample of water contains 5.24x10^22 molecules. How many moles are in this sample?
Helga [31]

Answer:

0.087 moles of water

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of water = 5.24×10²² molecules

Number of moles of water = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

5.24×10²² molecules × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

0.87×10⁻¹ mol

0.087 mol

Avogadro number:

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.  The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

a block of iron has the dimensions of 3.00 cm x 3.00 cm x 3.00 cm. it has a mass of 213 g. when placed in water, the block sinks
Art [367]

 When the block  of iron is  placed  in water  the volume of water that   is  displaced is  27.0  cm³


  <u><em> calculation</em></u>

The  volume water that is displaced is equal to volume of block  of the iron


volume of block of iron = length x width x height

   length= 3 cm

   width = 3  cm

 height = 3 cm

volume  is therefore = 3 cm  x  3 cm x  3  cm = 27  cm³   therefore the volume displaced  = 27 cm³  since the volume of water displaced  is equal to  volume of block.

How many mol of sodium corresponds to 1.0 x 10^15 atoms of sodium?
andrew-mc [135]
The Avogadro number represents the number of units in one mole of a chemical substance.
So to find the mole number of a chemical element, you divide its atom number of the Avogadro number which Na = 6.02*10^23 approx.
So n=N/Na (n=mole number, N=number of atoms, Na=Avogadro number)
n=1.0*10^15/6.02*10^23
n=1.6 * 10^-9

So 1.0*10^15 atoms of Sodium represent 1.6*10^-9 mol.

Hope this Helps! :)
