Chemistry

Natasha2012 [34]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Its in the Explanation

Explanation:

Here's what I got.

Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to  

27

.

Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminum, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.

The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminum has an atomic number equal to  

13

.

This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminum will have  

13

protons in its nucleus.

Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.

Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have  

13

electrons surrounding its nucleus.

Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have

mass number

=

no. of protons

+

no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = 27 − 13 = 14

Your welcome :)

Binary ionic compounds are named in what pattern?
leva [86]

Answer: The correct answer is option a.

Explanation: Binary ionic compounds are the compounds made up of two ions, one is cation which is metal and another is anion which is a non-metal.

Rules for the naming of Binary Ionic compound.

1. First write the full name of cation.

2. The anion is named after using the suffix '-ide'. For example: If the anion is bromine, the name will be bromide and so on.

3. If the metal atom is Transition element, then the roman numeral is included after the metal name to indicate the oxidation number of the metal.

So, in order to write the name of Binary Ionic Compound, we first write metal followed by non-metal. Hence, the correct option is option a.

Starting with 0.657 g of lead(II) nitrate, a student collects 0.925 g of precipitate. If the calculated mass of precipitate is 0
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

101.2%

Explanation:

Given:

Theoretical yield of the precipitate = 0.914 g

Actual yield of the precipitate = 0.925 g

Now, the percent yield is given as a ratio of actual yield by theoretical yield expressed as a percentage.

Framing in equation form, we have:

\%\ yield=\frac{Actual\ yield}{Theoretical\ yield}\times 100

Now, plug in 0.925 g for actual yield, 0.914 g for theoretical yield and solve for % yield. This gives,

\%\ yield=\frac{0.925\ g}{0.914\ g}\times 100\\\\\%\ yield=1.012\times 100\\\\\%\ yield=101.2\%

Therefore, the percent yield is 101.2%.
