Answer: Sodium
Explanation: The sodium has only one electron at the outer layer.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
An atom of neon-20 has one fewer proton and two fewer neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.
Explanation:
Neon - 20 and Sodium - 23
Neon - 20
Protons = 10
Neutrons = 10
Sodium - 23
Protons = 11
Neutrons = 12
With the information above and checking the options;
An atom of neon-20 has one fewer proton and two fewer neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.
This option is correct.
Answer: Solubility
Explanation:
Solubility is the ability or property of a solute which can be a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance to dissolve in a solvent (solid, liquid or gas) and form a solution. The factors that affect how soluble a substance is depends on the solvent ,temperature and pressure.
Here, Mario trying to dissolve certain substances (solutes) in water (the solvent shows he is trying to find out the solubility of the substances which can be insoluble, sparingly soluble or very soluble.
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
A solution contains an unknown mass of dissolved barium ions. When sodium sulfate is added to the solution, a white precipitate forms. The precipitate is filtered and dried and then found to have a mass of 212 mg. What mass of barium was in the original solution? (Assume that all of the barium was precipitated out of solution by the reaction.)
Explanation:
When
and
are added then white precipitate forms. And, reaction equation for this is as follows.
It is given that mass (m) is 212 mg or 0.212 g (as 1 g = 1000 mg). Molecular weight of
is 233.43.
Now, we will calculate the number of moles as follows.
No. of moles = mass × M.W
= 
= 0.00091 mol of
Hence, it means that 0.00091 mol of
. Now, we will calculate the mass as follows.
Mass = moles × MW
=
= 0.124 grams or 124 mg of barium
Thus, we can conclude that mass of barium into the original solution is 124 mg.
