Answer:
13.5 g
Explanation:
This question is solved easily if we remember that the number of moles is obtained by dividing the mass into the atomic weight or molar mass depending if we are referring to elements or molecules.
Therefore, the mass of aluminum in the reaction will the 0.050 mol Al times the atomic weight of aluminum.
number of moles = n = mass of Al / Atomic Weight Al
⇒ mass Al = n x Atomic Weight Al = 0.050 mol x 27 g mol⁻¹
= 13.5 g
We have three significant figures in 0.050 and therefore we should have three significant figures in our answer.

Answer:
Potassium (K) has 19 protons.
Each neutral atom of Potassium has 19 electrons.
Explanation:
A) Potassium has 19 protons because the atomic number tells us how many protons are in an atom of the element. (The atomic number is the number above the element symbol. For example, the number above "K" is 19, which is the atomic number).
B) If an atom is neutral, this means that the atom has neutral energy. Protons give positive energy and electrons give negative energy. For the atom to be neutral, the atom must have balanced energy, therefore, making the number of electrons equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
Answer:
Yes, Mass is conserved.
Explanation:
Every chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of mass. The law of conservation of mass states that in chemical reactions, mass is always constant.
Equation:
2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl
From the equation above, one can observe that the reaction started using 2 atoms of Na and it produced 2 atoms of the same element in NaCl. A molecule of Cl produced 2 atoms of Cl in the NaCl
Design a simple experiment to support your answer:
Aim: To demonstrate the law of conservation of mass
One Na atom weighs 23g
Two Na atom will weigh 2 x 23 = 46g
1 atom of Cl is 35.5g
1 molecule of Cl containing two atoms of Cl will weigh 2 x 35.5 = 71g
Total mass of reactants = mass of 2Na + 1Cl₂ = (46 + 71)g = 117g
On the product side, Mass of 1 NaCl = 23+ 35.5 = 58.5g
Two moles of NaCl will give 2 x 58.5g = 117g
Since the mass on both side is the same, one can say mass is conserved.
