Answer:
<em>Protons:
</em>
- Positively charged particle
- The number of these is the atomic number
- All atoms of a given element have the same number of these
<em>Neutrons: </em>
- Isotopes of a given element differ in the number of these
- The mass number is the number of these added to the number of protons
Explanation:
Protons (<em>positively charged</em>), neutrons (<em>neutral</em>) and electrons (negatively charged) are smaller than an atom and they are the main subatomic particles. The nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons, and the electrons are in the periphery at unknown pathways.
The <em>Atomic number</em> (Z) indicates the number of protons (
) in the nucleus. Every atom of an element have the <em>same atomic number</em>, thus the <em>same number of protons</em>.
The <em>mass number </em>(A) is the sum of the <em>number of protons</em> (
) <em>and neutrons</em> (N) that are present in the nucleus: <em>A= Z + N</em>
<em>Isotopes</em> are atoms of the <em>same element </em>which nucleus have the <em>same atomic number</em> (Z), and <em>different mass number (A)</em>, it means the <em>same number of protons</em> (
) and a <em>different number of neutrons</em> (N). For example, the oxygen in its natural state is a mixture of isotopes:
99.8% atoms with A= 16, Z=8, and N=8
0.037% atoms with A=17, Z=8, and N=9
0.204% atoms with A=18, Z=8, and N=10
Answer:
5 mol.
Explanation:
Equation of the reaction
2SO2 + 2H2O + O2 --> 2H2SO4
By stoichiometry, 2 moles of SO2 reacted with 2 moles of water and 1 mole of O2 to give 2 mole of sulphuric acid.
Number of moles:
5.0 mol SO2
4.0 mol O2
20.0 mol H2O
Calculating the limiting reagent,
5 mol of SO2 * 1 mol of O2/2 mol of SO2
= 2.5 mol of O2(4 mol of O2 is present)
5 mol of SO2 * 2 mol of H2O/2 mol of SO2
= 5 mol of H2O(20 mol of H2O)
SO2 is the limiting reagent.
Therefore, number of moles of H2SO4 = 5 mol of SO2 * 2 mol of H2SO4/2 mol of SO2
= 5 mol of H2SO4.
