•The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:
B) 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Bogdan [553]
A grey coloured rock with amphibole and intermediate plagioclase like an andesine would classify as an intermediate rock by Bowen's Reaction Series and by the classification of igneous rocks would probably be like a diorite which is intermediate between a gabbro and a granite. A diorite essentially has no quartz but has the silicates amphibole (like hornblende), mica perhaps a little pyroxene and andesine plagioclase.

Hi:)) how to do 5? I’m not sure if it’s hydrogen carbonate or carbonate
zysi [14]

Answer:

copper(ll) carbonate

Explanation:

Since the product is a salt which is copper(II) carbonate, water and carbon dioxide, this reaction is an acid + metal carbonate reaction.

Looking at the salt, Cu²⁺ has to be part of the reactants.

Hence, the missing compound there has to be copper(ll) carbonate, CuCO₃.

The balanced chemical equation would be:

CuCO₃ + 2HNO₃➙ Cu(NO₃)₂ +H₂O +CO₂

P.s. You left out CO₂ as a product in Q2 ;)

Just a recap of the main reactions you would've learnt:

1) Acid + base/ alkali ➙ salt + water

2) Acid + metal ➙ salt + hydrogen gas

3) Acid + metal carbonate ➙ salt + H₂O + CO₂
