Answer:

Calcium and Argon both have 20 neutrons.

Explanation:

Atomic number is the number of protons in an element

Mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons in an element

So we can calculate the number of neutrons in an element by subtracing atomic number from its mass number.

Atomic number of given elements are:

Ca : 20

Potassium : 19

Scandium : 21

Argon : 18

Chlorine : 17

Let us calculate the number of neutrons in each element.

Ca:

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 40-20 = 20

K :

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 40-19 = 21

Sc:

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 44-21 = 23

Ar:

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 38-18 = 20

Cl:

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 36-17 = 19

Thus Calcium and Argon both have 20 neutrons.

First, let's find the number of neutrons in Calcium-40. to find the number of neutrons, you need to take the atomic mass minus atomic number

neutrons in Calcium---> 40 - 20 (atomic number) = 20 neutrons

potassium-40---> 40- 19= 21
scandium-44----> 44- 21= 23
argon-38---------> 38- 18= 20
chlorine-36------> 36- 17= 19

the answer is argon-38

Answer:

When the two gases are mixed, the ammonium chloride precipitates in the tube walls.

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

HCl (g)  +  NH₃(g)  →  NH₄Cl (s) ↓

As the product formed is solid at room temperature, a suspension is first formed in the internal air of the tube that appears as a cloud. Afterwards it finally precipitates into the walls forming a white layer

Oxygen gas can be prepared by heating potassium chlorate according to the following equation: 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s) + 3O2(g) The prod
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The number of moles of KClO₃ reacted was 0,15 mol

Explanation:

For the reaction:

2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 2O₂(g)

The only gas product is O₂.

Total pressure is the sum of vapor pressure of water with O₂ gas formed. Thus, pressure of O₂ is:

749mmHg - 23,8mmHg = 725,2mmHg

Using gas law:

PV/RT = n

Where:

P is pressure (725,2mmHg ≡ <em>0,9542atm</em>)

V is volume (<em>5,76L</em>)

R is gas constant (<em>0,082 atmL/molK</em>)

And T is temperature (25°C ≡ <em>298,15K</em>)

Replacing, number of moles of O₂ are <em>0,2248 moles</em>

As 2 moles of KClO₃ react with 3 moles of O₂ the moles of KClO₃ that reacted was:

0,2248 mol O₂×\frac{2 mol KClO_{3}}{3 mol O_{2}} = <em>0,15 mol of KClO₃</em>

I hope it helps!

A solution is prepared by adding 1.43 mol of potassium chloride (kcl) to 889 g of water. The concentration of kcl is 1.61  molal.
mol of Kcl (potassium chloride)= 1.43
water = 889 g
the formula for calculating molality is:
molality = moles of solute/kilograms of solvent
1kg = 1000g so, 889g = 0.889kg

m = 1.43/0.889 = 1.61 molal
