Answer: Chlorine

Explanation: Since chlorine's 17 protons are greater than magnesium's 12 protons, chlorine will have a greater effective nuclear charge to draw chlorine's valence electrons closer to the nucleus and, thus, chlorine is expected to have the smaller atomic radius, while magnesium with the lower effective nuclear charge is expected to have the larger atomic radius.

A student is performing a titration to determine the concentration of a 20.0 mL sample of hydrochloric acid. What did the studen
irakobra [83]

Answer:

0.25M HCl

Explanation:

The reaction of HCl with NaOH is:

HCl + NaOH ⇄ H₂O + NaCl

<em>Where 1 mole of HCl reacts per mole of NaOH</em>

The end point was reached when the student added:

0.0500L × (0.1mol / L) = 0.00500 moles of NaOH

As 1 mole of HCl reacted per mole of NaOH, moles of HCl present are:

<em>0.00500 moles HCl</em>

The volume of the sample of hydrochloric acid was 20.0mL = 0.0200L, and concentration of the sample is:

0.00500 mol HCl / 0.0200L = <em>0.25M HCl</em>

C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
Reika [66]

Answer:

Mass = 112 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CO₂ produced = 90.6 g

Mass of oxygen needed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C₃H₈ + 5O₂       →      3CO₂+ 4H₂O

Number of moles of CO₂:

Number of moles = 90.6 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of  CO₂ and oxygen:

                 CO₂           :           O₂

                    3             :            5

                    2.1           :        5/3×2.1 = 3.5

Mass of oxygen needed:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3.5 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 112 g

If an element has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 41, what is the :
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Explanation:

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:

20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons
