Answer:

In the given case, the atomic number of the given atom is 15, hence its nucleus contains 15 protons. The number of protons and electrons are the same in atom and that is what keeps it neutral. In the second case, the atomic number is 20. Hence, the atom will contain a total of 20 protons in its nucleus.

How many grams of solute are in 1.00 liter of 0.200m na2so4 solution?

Kisachek [45]

Molarity can be defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L solution.
Molarity of Na₂SO₄ solution - 0.200 M
this means there are 0.200 moles in 1 L solution
Molar mass of Na₂SO₄ - 142 g/mol
therefore mass of Na₂SO₄ in 1.00 L - 0.200 mol x 142 g/mol = 28.4 g
a mass of 28.4 g of Na₂SO₄ is present in 1.00 L

How many moles of water would form the reaction of exactly 58.3 grams of magnesium hydroxide

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{2.00 mol}}$

Explanation:

We know we will need a balanced chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

You don't tell us what the reaction is, but we can solve the problem so long as we balance the OH.

M_r: 58.32

Mg(OH)₂ + … ⟶ … + 2HOH

m/g: 58.3

(a) Moles of Mg(OH)₂

$\text{Moles of Mg(OH)$_{2}$} =\text{58.3 g Mg(OH)$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}{\text{58.32 g Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}\\\\=\text{0.9997 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}$

(b) Moles of H₂O

The molar ratio is 2 mol H₂O = 1 mol Mg(OH)₂.

$\text{Moles of H$_{2}$O}= \text{0.9995 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol {H$_{2}$O}}}{ \text{1 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}\\\\= \textbf{2.00 mol H$_{2}$O}$

The reaction will form $\boxed{\textbf{2.00 mol}}$ of water.
