Answer:

An atoms identity is defined by it's number of protons.

Explanation:

Neutrons do not define the identity of an atom, protons do. An element is defined by it's atomic number, Z, which is also the number of protons in an atom of that element.

Answer:

It is not possible to accurately identify an element given only the number of neutrons. All atoms are made of three particles: electrons, protons and neutrons. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons if the atom is uncharged.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Question:

A chemistry student needs of 10 g isopropenylbenzene for an experiment. He has available 120 g of a 42.7% w/w solution of isopropenylbenzene in acetone. Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button.

Answer:

The answer to the question is as follows

The mass of solution the student should use is 23.42 g.

Explanation:

To solve the question we note the following

A solution containing 42.7 % w/w of isopropenylbenzene in acetone has 42.7 g of isopropenylbenzene in 100 grams of the solution

Therefore we have 10 g of isopropenylbenzene contained in

100 g * 10 g/ 42.7 g = 23.42 g of solution

Available solution = 120 g

Therefore the quantity to used from the available solution = 23.42 g of the isopropenylbenzene in acetone solution.

the reaction of aluminum with chlorine gas is shown 2Al + 3Cl2 -> 2AlCl3 based on this equation how many molecules of chlorin

Vanyuwa [196]

45 molecules of chlorine gas (Cl₂) are needed to react with 30 atoms of aluminum (Al)

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

2Al + 3Cl₂ —> 2AlCl₃

From the balanced equation above,

2 atoms of Al required 3 molecules of Cl₂.

With the above information, we can determine the number of molecules of Cl₂ needed to react with 30 atoms of Al. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 atoms of Al required 3 molecules of Cl₂.

Therefore,

30 atoms of Al will require = $\frac{30 * 3}{2}\\$ = 45 molecules of Cl₂.
