If an electrically neutral atom has 57 protons how many electrons does it have?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Harman [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: 57

Explanation: Because the atom is neutral, it’s #e= Protons + zero charge (for all neutral atoms)

Hence, #e= 57+0=57 electrons

How big is an electron compared to a proton?
Romashka [77]
A proton has about 1836 times the mass of an electron. The best estimate of physicists is that the radius of a proton is about 8×10-16m and the radius of an electron is about 10-16m . If they are correct, then a proton has about ten times the diameter of an electron

PbO2 + 4HCl --- PbCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O who buys electrons and who loses electrons?​
SIZIF [17.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> Electrons are taken up by PbO_2 and they are lost by HCl

<u>Explanation:</u>

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously. It is also called the reaction where the exchange of electrons takes place.

An oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons takes place. In this reaction, the oxidation state of a substance gets increased.

A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons takes place. In this reaction, the oxidation state of a substance gets reduced.

For the given chemical reaction:

PbO_2+4HCl\rightarrow PbCl_2+Cl_2+2H_2O

The half-reactions for this redox rection follows:

<u>Oxidation half-reaction:</u>  2HCl\rightarrow ClO_2 + 2e^-

<u>Reduction half-reaction:</u>  PbO_2+2e^-\rightarrow PbCl_2

Hence, electrons are taken up by PbO_2 and they are lost by HCl

Ammonia gas and oxygen gas react to form water vapor and nitrogen monoxide gas. What volume of water would be produced by this r
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Water volume produced is 7.3 mL

Explanation:

This the reaction:

4NH₃ (g) + 5O₂ (g) →  4NO (g) + 6H₂O (g)

We have to work with density, to solve this question

Density of ammonia = Ammonia mass / Ammonia volume

0,00073 g/mL = Ammonia mass / 6300 mL

(Notice, we had to convert 6.3L to mL)

0.00073 g/mL . 6300 mL = Ammonia mass → 4.599 g

Mass / Molar mass = Mol

4.599 g / 17g/m = 0.270 mole

Ratio is 4:6

4 mole of ammonia produce 6 mole of water

0.270 mole produce (0.270  .6)/4 = 0.405 mol

Molar mass . mole = mass

18 g/m . 0.405 m = 7.30 g

Water density = 1 g/mL

Water density = Water mass / Water Volume

1g/mL = 7.30 g / Water volume

Water volume = 7.3 mL
