The answer is 40.
We can solve this by finding out the number of protons, and neutrons. Atomic number of an element means the number of protons in that element. So, the atom has 30 protons if the atomic number is 30.
On the other hand, mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons, but not electrons, because they're too light comparing to the other 2. Therefore, we can simply solve the number of neutrons in the atom by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. 70 - 30 = 40.
Therfore, the number of neutrons is 40.
Answer:
c. CH4 < NH3 because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond.
Explanation:
Actually, the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is just about 0.4. This meager difference in electronegativity corresponds to a nonpolar bond between the two atoms.
However, the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen is about 0.9. This larger electronegativity difference corresponds to the existence of a polar covalent bond between the two atoms.
Hence the N-H bond is significantly polar unlike the C-H bond. This implies that CH4 molecules are only held together by weak dispersion forces while NH3 molecules are held together by stronger dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonds.
Answer:
3.64g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of NH₃ = 18.1g
Mass of Cu₂O = 90.4g
Unknown:
Limiting reactant = ?
Mass of N₂ formed = ?
Solution:
The reaction equation is given as:
Cu₂O + 2NH₃ → 6Cu + N₂ + 3H₂O
The limiting reactant is the one in short supply in the reaction. Let us find the number of moles of the given species;
Number of moles = 
Molar mass of Cu₂O = 2(63.6) + 16 = 143.2g/mol
Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + 3(1) = 17g/mol
Number of moles of Cu₂O = 
= 0.13moles
Number of moles of NH₃ = 
= 5.32moles
From this reaction;
1 mole of Cu₂O combines with 2 mole of NH₃
So 0.13moles of Cu₂O will combine with 0.13 x 2 mole of NH₃
= 0.26moles of NH₃
Therefore, Cu₂O is the limiting reactant. Ammonia is in excess;
Mass of N₂;
Mass = number of moles x molar mass
1 mole of Cu₂O will produce 1 mole of N₂
0.13 mole of Cu₂O will produce 0.13 mole of N₂
Mass = 0.13 x (2 x 14) = 3.64g
