If an element has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 41, what is the :
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Explanation:

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:

20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

calculate the mass of calcium phosphate and the mass of sodium chloride that could be formed when a solution containing 12.00g o
Leviafan [203]

Answer : The mass of calcium phosphate and the mass of sodium chloride that formed could be, 9.3 and 10.5 grams respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of Na_3PO_4 = 12.00 g

Mass of CaCl_2 = 10.0 g

Molar mass of Na_3PO_4 = 164 g/mol

Molar mass of CaCl_2 = 111 g/mol

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Molar mass of Ca_3(PO_4)_2 = 310 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of Na_3PO_4 and CaCl_2.

\text{Moles of }Na_3PO_4=\frac{\text{Given mass }Na_3PO_4}{\text{Molar mass }Na_3PO_4}

\text{Moles of }Na_3PO_4=\frac{12.00g}{164g/mol}=0.0732mol

and,

\text{Moles of }CaCl_2=\frac{\text{Given mass }CaCl_2}{\text{Molar mass }CaCl_2}

\text{Moles of }CaCl_2=\frac{10.0g}{111g/mol}=0.0901mol

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

2Na_3PO_4+3CaCl_2\rightarrow 6NaCl+Ca_3(PO_4)_2

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 3 mole of CaCl_2 react with 2 mole of Na_3PO_4

So, 0.0901 moles of CaCl_2 react with \frac{2}{3}\times 0.0901=0.0601 moles of Na_3PO_4

From this we conclude that, Na_3PO_4 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and CaCl_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of NaCl  and Ca_3(PO_4)_2

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 3 mole of CaCl_2 react to give 6 mole of NaCl

So, 0.0901 mole of CaCl_2 react to give \frac{6}{3}\times 0.0901=0.1802 mole of NaCl

and,

As, 3 mole of CaCl_2 react to give 1 mole of Ca_3(PO_4)_2

So, 0.0901 mole of CaCl_2 react to give \frac{1}{3}\times 0.0901=0.030 mole of Ca_3(PO_4)_2

Now we have to calculate the mass of NaCl  and Ca_3(PO_4)_2

\text{ Mass of }NaCl=\text{ Moles of }NaCl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaCl

\text{ Mass of }NaCl=(0.1802moles)\times (58.5g/mole)=10.5g

and,

\text{ Mass of }Ca_3(PO_4)_2=\text{ Moles of }Ca_3(PO_4)_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }Ca_3(PO_4)_2

\text{ Mass of }Ca_3(PO_4)_2=(0.030moles)\times (310g/mole)=9.3g

Therefore, the mass of calcium phosphate and the mass of sodium chloride that formed could be, 9.3 and 10.5 grams respectively.

How many protons (p) and neutrons (n) are in an atom of sr? 38 p, 90 n 90 p, 38 n 38 p, 52 n 52 p, 38 n?
harina [27]
Sr will always have 38 protons because that is its atomic number. Normally Sr has 38 protons and 49 neutrons yielding an atomic mass of 87. unless you are dealing with an isotope of Strontium in which 3 additional neutrons would give you the 53 neutrons in your answer, (38p, 52n).
