Answer:

Concept: Chemical Analysis

Start by taking inventory of the elements that you have
Make a list, one for the right side and another for the left side
Then add coefficients to the elements to the right or left side to balance out the equation

How many neutrons and protons are there in the nuclei of the following atoms. a. Li-7 b. O-16 c. Th-232 d. Pu-239

ANEK [815]

Answer:

P = 3 , N = 4

P = 8 , N = 8

P = 90 , N = 142

P = 94 , N = 145

Explanation:

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Also,

Atomic number = Number of protons

Li - 7

Given, Mass number of Lithium = 7

For lithium, atomic number = 3

So,

Number of protons = 3

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 7 - 3 = 4

O - 16

Given, Mass number of oxygen = 16

For oxygen, atomic number = 8

So,

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 16 - 8 = 8

Th - 232

Given, Mass number of Thorium = 232

For Thorium, atomic number = 90

So,

Number of protons = 90

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 232 - 90 = 142

Pu - 239

Given, Mass number of Plutonium = 239

For Plutonium, atomic number = 94

So,

Number of protons = 94

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 239 - 94 = 145

If 14.3 moles of H2O2 is decomposed, how many grams of oxygen gas are produced?

Studentka2010 [4]

The balanced chemical reaction would be as follows:

2H2O2 = 2H2O + O2

We are given the amount of the peroxide that decomposes. Using this as the starting point for the calculations, we can determine the amount of O2 produced. We do as follows:

14.3 mol H2O2 ( 1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O2 ) = 7.15 mol O2 produced
