Answer:

118 neutrons

Explanation:

There are three subatomic particles in an atom namely: electron, neutron and proton. The mass number of an atom is calculated by adding the proton no. (atomic mass) + neutron no.

That is;

Mass no. = proton no. + neutron no.

This means that to obtain the neutron no. in the atom of an element, we subtract the no of protons or atomic mass from the mass number.

According to this question, Plutonium-196 is said to have an atomic number of 78. The mass no. is 196, hence, the number of neutrons is:

196 - 78

= 118 neutrons.

Silicon is prepared by the reduction of K₂SiF6 with Al. Write the equation for this reaction. (Hint: Can F⁻ be oxidized in this
BlackZzzverrR [31]

4Al + 3K2SiF6 = 6KF + 3Si + 4AIF3 is the reaction for preparation of silicon by the reduction of K₂SiF6 with Al.

AlF3xH2O-based inorganic compounds are referred to as aluminium fluoride. They are all solids without colour. Aluminium fluoride is a crystalline (sand-like), odourless, white, or colourless powder. In addition to being used to make aluminium, it also functions as a flux in welding processes and in ceramic glazes and enamels.

Silicon (Si) is created by reducing potassium silicofluoride with aluminium as the reducing agent (K2SIF6). While K2SiF6 is reduced to Si in this equation, aluminium is oxidised to aluminium fluoride. As a result, the balanced equation describing aluminum's reduction of K2SiF6 to silicon non-metal is as follows: 4Al + 3K2SiF6 = 6KF + 3Si + 4AIF3

For the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g), what will happen if hydrogen gas was removed from the reaction mixture? There will be a
Hoochie [10]
This uses something called <span>Le Chatelier's principle. It states essentially that any stress put upon a system will be corrected.

In more simple terms, it means that in an equilibrium, such as the equation N2(g) + 3H2(g) <=> 2NH3(g), removing a reactant will cause the system to create more of said reactant to compensate for its loss, or adding excess reactant will cause the system to remove some of the added reactant. For future reference, the same principle applies to products in an equilibrium as well. 

In this case, hydrogen gas is a reactant, and hydrogen is being removed. According to </span><span>Le Chatelier's principle, the system will shift to create more hydrogen gas. In essence, it will shift in the direction of the hydrogen gas, so there will be a shift toward the reactants.

To clear something up, Keq will not change, as it is a constant value with constant conditions (such as temperature, pressure, etc.).</span>
