How are the atomic number and the number of protons related to each other? how do the number of protons, number of neutrons, and

the mass number relate to each other? what is the one thing that determines the identity of an atom (that is, whether it is an oxygen atom or a carbon atom, etc.)?

The atomic number (Z) uniquely identifies a chemical element. In an uncharged atom, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons.

The atomic number, Z, should not be confused with the mass number, A, which is the number of nucleons, the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

In this video Kristine Born explains this two concepts in more detail.

How to calculate protons neutrons and electrons ?
rosijanka [135]
The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z).

Upon decomposition, a sample of sodium bicarbonate produces 0.0118 g of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3. How many grams of water does i
Naily [24]

Answer:

2.00 × 10⁻³ g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced decomposition reaction

2 NaHCO₃ ⇒ Na₂CO₃ + CO₂ + H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 0.0118 g of Na₂CO₃

The molar mass of Na₂CO₃ is 105.99 g/mol.

0.0118 g × 1 mol/105.99 g = 1.11 × 10⁻⁴ mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of H₂O produced with 1.11 × 10⁻⁴ moles of Na₂CO₃

The molar ratio of Na₂CO₃ to H₂O is 1:1. The moles of H₂O produced are 1/1 × 1.11 × 10⁻⁴ mol = 1.11 × 10⁻⁴ mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 1.11 × 10⁻⁴ moles of H₂O

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.02 g/mol.

1.11 × 10⁻⁴ mol × 18.02 g/mol =  2.00 × 10⁻³ g
