leva [86]3 years ago

The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom can be determined from a set of simple rules. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.

The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom's identity, and the number of electrons determines its electrical charge. The atomic number tells you the number of protons in one atom of an element. It also tells you the number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element.

How do the fusion reaction in the sun compare to the fusion occurring in large atars and supernovas
r-ruslan [8.4K]
The fusion reaction in the sun is a combination of hydrogen atoms fusing to create helium. The fusion reaction in larger stars involve much heavier elements like oxygen and iron. In supernovas, often elements like gold are produced

A 133.8-gram sample of bronze was 10.3% tin by mass. Determine the total mass of tin in the sample.
Kay [80]
You just need to multiply the total mass by the decimal value of the part that is tin. 133.8*0.103=13.8g (following the rules of significant figures).

Answer:

There is 52.33 grams of water produced.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of propane burned = 32.00 grams

Molar mass of propane = 44.1 g/mol

Oxygen is in excess

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

C3H8 + 5O2 → 4H2O + 3CO2

Step 3: Calculate moles of propane

Moles of propane = mass propane / molar mass of propane

Moles of propane = 32.00 grams / 44.1 g/mol

Moles of propane = 0.726 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of H2O

Propane is the limiting reactant.

For 1 mol of propane consumed, we need 5 moles of O2 to produce 4 moles of H2O and 3 moles of CO2

For 0.726 moles of propane we'll have 4*0.726 = 2.904 moles of H2O

Step 5: Calculate mass of H2O

Mass of H2O = moles of H2O * molar mass of H2O

Mass of H2O = 2.904 moles * 18.02 g/mol

Mass of H2O = 52.33 grams

There is 52.33 grams of water produced.

Why are the three atoms are isotopes of magnesium
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Magnesium is a naturally ubiquitous; (appearing & found evrywhere) element and has three naturally occurring stable isotopes, 24Mg, 25Mg and 26Mg, with relative abundance of 78.99%, 10.00% and 11.01%, respectively.

However, they differ only because a 24Mg atom has 12 neutrons in its nucleus, a 25Mg atom has 13 neutrons, and a 26Mg has 14 neutrons.
