Answer:

protons plus neutrons

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons.

The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

while the number of protons or number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Sulfur undergoes combustion to yield sulfur trioxide by the following reaction equation:
12345 [234]

Answer:

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = <u>(-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J</u>

Explanation:

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

Given: The enthalpy of reaction: ΔH = - 792 kJ

Given mass of S: w₂ = 42.8 g, Molar mass of S: m = 32 g/mol

In the given reaction, the number of moles of S reacting: n = 2

As, Number of moles: n = \frac{mass\: (w_{1})}{molar\: mass\: (m)}

∴  mass of S in 2 moles of S: w_{1} = n \times m = 2\: mol \times 32\: g/mol = 64\: g

<em>Given reaction</em>: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

<em>In this reaction, the limiting reagent is S</em>

⇒ 2 moles S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

or, 64 g of S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

∴ 42.8 g of S produces (x) amount of heat

⇒ <u><em>The amount of heat produced by 42.8 g S:</em></u>

x = \frac{(- 792\: kJ) \times 42.8\: g}{64\: g} = (-529.65)\: kJ

\Rightarrow x = (-5.2965 \times 10^{2})\: kJ = (-5.2965 \times 10^{5})\: J

(\because 1 kJ = 10^{3} J)

<u>Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J</u>
