olga55 [171]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

20 electrons

A neutral atom with atomic number 20 will have 20 electrons.

The atomic number is, by definiton, the number of protons in an atom's nucleus but for a neutral atom it's also equal to the number of electrons. Each element has a different, unique number of protons that determines its identity.

What size container is needed to hold 7.00 mol of a gas at 342 K and 255 kPa? *
ValentinkaMS [17]
PV = nRT

I only know the valeu of R is you're using atm, so convert kPa to atm.

1 atm = 101.325 kPa

2.52 atm = 255 kPa

2.52atm(x) = 7(.0821)(342)

2.52atm(x) = 196.5

x = 78

78 liters
