How does an atom of one element differ from the atom of another element?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Temka [501]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The atoms of one element differs from the atoms of other elements in terms of the number of protons they contain. This is often taken as the atomic number of such an atom.

  • The number of proton is the best indicator of the atom one is dealing with.
  • Based on this number, elements are categorized into distinct columns and rows on the periodic table.
  • The atomic number is the number of protons or positively charge particles in the atom.

II.

It is possible to change the identity of an atom. This is only possible by altering the atomic number of the atom.

Only nuclear reactions have this capability.

When an atom undergoes nuclear reaction that involves change in number of protons, transmutation occurs and a new atom forms.

Pb(SO4)2 + 4 LiNO3 → Pb(NO3)4 + 2 Li2SO4
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

4.5 moles of lithium sulfate are produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of lead sulfate = 2.25 mol

Number of moles of lithium nitrate = 9.62 mol

Number of moles of lithium sulfate = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Pb(SO₄)₂ + 4LiNO₃      →     Pb(NO₃)₄ + 2Li₂SO₄

Now we will compare the moles of lithium sulfate with lead sulfate and lithium nitrate.

                       Pb(SO₄)₂        :         Li₂SO₄

                            1                :             2

                          2.25           :          2/1×2.25 = 4.5 mol

                       LiNO₃            :             Li₂SO₄

                           4                :                2

                           9.62           :             2/4×9.62 = 4.81 mol

Pb(SO₄)₂  produces less number of moles of Li₂SO₄ thus it will act as limiting reactant and limit the yield of  Li₂SO₄.

A common fuel additive that is composed of C, H, and O enhanced the performance of gasoline began being phased out in 1999 becau
spayn [35]

Answer:

C₅ H₁₂ O

Explanation:

44 g of CO₂ contains 12 g of C

30.2 g of CO₂ will contain 12 x 30.2 / 44 = 8.236 g of C .

18 g of H₂O contains 2 g of hydrogen

14.8 g of H₂0 will contain 1.644 g of  H .

total compound = 12.1 out of which 8.236 g is C and 1.644 g is H , rest will be O

gram of O = 2.22

moles of C, O, H in the given compound =  8.236 / 12 , 2.22 / 16 , 1.644 / 1

= .6863 , .13875 , 1.644

ratio of their moles = 4.946 : 1 : 11.84

rounding off to digits

ratio = 5 : 1 : 12

empirical formula = C₅ H₁₂ O

Compare the mass of a proton to the mass of an electron.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Electrons are only about 0.054% as massive as neutrons and protons are only 99.86% as massive as the neutrons. The mass of the Proton is 1.67 x 10^-27 kg and the mass of the electron is 9.11 x 10^-31 kg. The mass of the electron is so much lighter than the mass of the proton.
