If an atom has 15 protons and a mass of 31 how many neutrons will it have

Chemistry

Answer:

16

Explanation:

To find the neutrons, it's always mass-atomic number. Since the atomic number for an atom is always the protons, it's really mass-protons.

31-15=16

Answer:

16 neutrons

Explanation:

now that protons are equal to electrons, there are 15 electrons. The mass is equal to 31.0, which is the ≡ of protons and ≡ neutrons added together. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic # from the total mass #. 31-15=16 this would be equal to 16 now that the atomic has 31 and the mass is 15 subtract them ... you would get 16 neutrons inside the nucleus.

hope this helped ((((: if it did then please mark brainliest and have a wonderful day d:

Titanium and chlorine react to form titanium(IV) chloride, like this:
leva [86]

Answer:

the value of equilibrium constant for the reaction is 8.5 * 10⁷

Explanation:

Ti(s) + 2 Cl₂(g) ⇄ TiCl₄(l)

equilibrium constant Kc = \frac{1}{[Cl_2]^2}

Given that,

We are given:

Equilibrium amount of titanium = 2.93 g

Equilibrium amount of titanium tetrachloride = 2.02 g

Equilibrium amount of chlorine gas = 1.67 g

We calculate the No of mole = mass / molar mass

mass of chlorine gas = 1.67 g

Molar mass of chlorine gas = 71 g/mol

mole of chlorine = 1.67 / 71

= 7.0L

Concentration of chlorine is = no of mole / volume

= 0.024 / 7

= 3.43 * 10⁻³M

equilibrium constant Kc  = \frac{1}{[Cl_2]^2}

= \frac{1}{[3.43 * 10^-^3]^2}

= 8.5 * 10⁷

Describe the formation of ions by electron loss or gain
Ronch [10]

Explanation:

Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons. This is so that they form a full outer shell of electrons. When an atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, because electrons are negatively charged. For example, all halogens (group 7 or 17) form negative ions as they gain an electron forming a 1- charge. When an atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, as it is losing some negative charge from the electrons. This would be for example, alkali metals (group 1) which lose an electron to form a positive ion with a 1+ charge, (ALL metals form positive ions).

How many grams of KCl is needed to make .75 L of a 1 M solution of KCl?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 25.9 g of KCl

Explanation:

Data

Grams of KCl = ?

Volume = 0.75 l

Molarity = 1 M

Formula

Molarity = \frac{number of moles}{volume}

Solve for number of moles

Number of moles = Molarity x volume

Substitution

Number of moles = 1 x 0.75

Simplification

Number of moles = 0.75 moles

Molecular mass KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 34.5

Use proportions to find the grams of KCl

                          34.5 g of KCl ----------------  1 mol

                             x                  ----------------  0.75 moles

                            x = (0.75 x 34.5) / 1

                            x = 25.9 g of KCl

The empirical formula of styrene is CH; find the % composition for H and CH. How many atoms are present in a 2.00 gram sample of
lina2011 [118]
% Composition = ?
no atom in 2 g of styrene =? 
molar mass of strene =104.15
% composition of c= 12/13.008 =.922*100=92.2
% composition of h =1.008/13.008=0.0774*100= 7.74

no gram atom=mass in kg /molar mass=2/104.15 =0.01920 mol
no of gram atom * avogadro's number  = 0.0192*6.02 *10( exponent 23) =1.15584

How much energy is required to vaporize 48.7 g of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) at its boiling point, if its ΔHvap is 31.6 kJ/mol?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The answer is 18.12KJ is required to vaporise 48.7 g of dichloromethane at its boiling point

Explanation:

To solve the above question we have the given variable as follows

ΔHvap = heat of vaporisation of dichloromethane per mole = 31.6KJ/mole

However since the heat of vaporisation is the heat to vaporise one mole of dichloromethane, then, for 48.7 grams of dichloromethane, we have.

The number of moles of dichloromethane present = 48.7/84.93 = 0.573 moles

Therefore, the amount of heat required to vaporise 48.7 grams of dichloromethane at its boiling point is 31.6KJ/mole×0.573moles =18.12KJ
