A strontium-90 atom that has a lost two electrons has __________ protons, __________ neutrons, and __________ electrons.
MAXImum [283]
<span><em>Answer:</em>
A strontium-90 atom that has a lost two electrons has <u>38</u> protons, <u>52</u> neutrons, and <u>36</u> electrons.

<em>Explanation:
</em>Atomic number<em> of </em>Strontium (Sr) is 38. 
<em>Atomic number = number of protons 
</em>Hence, Strontium has 38 protons.

If the element is in neutral state,
                number of protons = number of electrons. 
Then, neutral Strontium atom should have 38 electrons. 
But the question says Sr has lost 2 electrons. Hence, number of electrons should be 38 - 2 = 36.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

The given mass number is 90. Hence, number of neutrons should be 90 - 38 = 52.</span>

What is the molarity of a 0.65L solution containing 63 grams of ? The molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol
ad-work [718]

Explanation:

The molarity of a solution is defined like the number of moles of solute per liters of solution.

molarity = moles of solute/(volume of solution in L)

We know the volume of solution in L.

volume of solution = 0.65 L

To go from the mass of our solute in grams to moles we have to use its molar mass.

mass of NaCl = 63 g

molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

moles of NaCl = 63 g * 1 mol/(58.44 g)

moles of NaCl = 1.078 moles

Finally we can find the molarity of the solution

molarity = moles of NaCl/(volume of solution)

molarity = 1.078 moles/(0.65 L)

molarity = 1.66 M

Answer: the molarity of the solution is 1.66 M.
