Answer:

72 protons

102 neutrons

72 electrons

Explanation:

Hf has an atomic number of 72. By definition, this means that it has 72 protons.

It also has a mass number of 178. The mass number (A) counts all elements with significant mass (protons and neutrons). Then,

A = p⁺ + n⁰

n⁰ = A - p⁺ = 178 - 72 = 102

Hf has 102 neutrons.

Elemental Hafnium is electrically neutral because it has the same amount of  positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons). Then, it must have 72 electrons.

How many moles of aluminum oxide will be produced from 0.50 mol of oxygen? 4 al + 3 o2 2 al2o3?
LuckyWell [14K]
From the equation;
 4 Al + 3 O2 = 2 Al2O3
The mole ratio of Oxygen is to Aluminium hydroxide is  3:2.
Therefore; moles of Al2O3 is 
 (0.5/3 )× 2 = 0.333 moles
Therefore; The moles of aluminium oxide will be 0.333 moles

C5H12 + O2 = CO2 + H2O
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: 241.6 grams of CO2

Explanation: you take 84.3 grams C5H12 and divide it by 72.15 grams of C5H12(which is the molar mass) you take that answer and calculate the mols of CO2 by multiplying the 1.168 you got before and multiply it by 5. You take the answer you get from that and multiply it by the molar mass of CO2 and get the theoretical yield and then you just plug it in. 94= (x/257.02)x100 and solve to find x which is the actual yield.
