Answer is 56 protons and 56 electrons.
<em>Explanation;</em>
Atomic number is equal to number of protons. Hence, when the atomic number is 56, it means that atom has 56 protons.
When the element is in neutral state, number of protons = number of electrons. Hence, we can say that barium atom has 56 electrons.
But same element can have different number of neutrons. Those are called isotopes. Hence, we cannot say that there are 56 neutrons in barium atom without having its mass number. (Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons)
1) Find the number of mols of HCl in 5.2 liters of 4.0M solution:
n = M*V(L) = 4.0 mol/L * 5.2 L = 20.8 mol
2) Find the number of mols of Mg that will react with 20.8 mol of HCl, using the coefficients of the balanced equation
[1mol Mg / 2 mol HCl] * 20.8 mol HCl = 10.4 mol Mg
3) Transform mol to mass using the atomic mass:
10.4 mol Mg * 24.3 g/mol = 252.7 g of Mg.
Pushing down a piston in an airtight cylinder would tend to increase the pressure in the system since the particle collision and collisions with the walls are now more frequent. Also, pushing further, the gas would undergo a phase change from gas to a liquid.
First, we convert the depth of the water into meters. This is:
60 feet = 18.3 meters
Now, we compute the additional pressure exerted due to the water, which is given by:
Pressure = density * gravitational field strength * height
P = 1000 * 9.81 * 18.3
P = 179.5 kPa
The atmosphere pressure is 101.325 kPa
The pressure of the gas bubbles 60 feet under water will be:
179.5 + 101.325 = 280.825 kPa
The pressure at the surface of the water will be equal to the atmospheric pressure, 101.325 kPa.
Because of this decrease in external pressure as gas bubbles rise, they are seen to expand.
