If you had a sample containing 55 alpha particles, how many protons would be present in that sample? Show all necessary work.

1 answer:

8 0

An alpha particle is a helium nucleus without the electrons - 2 neutrons and 2 protons.

So, all you would have to do is 2 x 55, which equals 110.

Why do atoms always contain the same number of electrons and protons?

katovenus [111]

Answer:

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle and a proton is a positively charged subatomic particle. Positive charge(s) attract negative charge(s) and vice versa. The proton and neutron stay together and attract one another to give the atom an overall charge of zero (neutral). Which is the charge of an atom. When there is an unequal number of protons and neutrons an ion is formed. If the number of protons are more than the electron, a positively charged ion called cation is formed. On the other hand, if the number of electrons are more than the protons a negatively charged ion called anion is formed.

Write down the compounds that does not have an alpha hydrogen.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

This question appears incomplete

Explanation:

However, an alpha hydrogen is the hydrogen that is found on the alpha, α-carbon in an organic molecule. Alpha carbon is referred to the first carbon that is attached to a functional group. Generally, compounds that do not have alpha carbon do not have alpha hydrogen. For example, first member of all functional groups do not usually have alpha carbon and hence do not have alpha hydrogen.

Also, Alkanes, alkenes and alkynes do not have also

What is the mass of 2.70 ×10^22 molecules of NaOH (Molar mass = 40.0 g/mol)?

Viefleur [7K]

Data:
Molar Mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Solving: According to the Law Avogradro, we have in 1 mole of a substance, 6.02x10²³ atoms/mol or molecules

1 mol -------------------- 6.02*10²³ molecules
y mol -------------------- 2.70*10²² molecules

6.02*10²³y = 0.270*10²³
$y = \frac{0.270*\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!10^{\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!23}}{6.02*\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!10^{\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!23}}$
$\boxed{y \approx 0.04\:mol}$

Solving: Find the mass value now

40 g ----------------- 1 mol of NaOH
x g ------------- 0.04 mol of NaOH

$x = 40*0.04$
$\boxed{\boxed{x = 1.6\:g}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Answer:
The mass is 1.6 grams
