Answer:

By finding the number of protons

Explanation:

Keep in mind when trying to find the number of electrons of a element, the number of electrons also equals the number of protons. In order to find the number of protons in the element simply find it's atomic number.

Example:

Find the number of electrons in the element iron.

Fe (Iron)

Fe's atomic number is 26

Protons/electrons = 26

Hope this helps.

The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom can be determined from a set of simple rules. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.

What kind of solution would have a Kb value much greater than 1?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

B. a strongly basic solution

Explanation:

Kb is base dissociation constant, which indicates how completely a base dissociates into its component ions in water. The greater the Kb value, the greater the alkalinity of the solution and vice versa.

Therefore, a solution with a Kb value much greater than 1, indicates a strongly basic solution, while a solution with a Kb value less than 1, indicates a weakly basic solution.

Isomers have the same physical properties because the chemical formulas are identical. True False
Luda [366]
The statement is False.
The molecular (chemical) formulas are same in case of isomers but the arrangement of atoms is different in them. The physical properties are determined by the arrangement of atoms within the molecule.

Since the arrangement of atoms is different in case of isomers, the Physical Properties will also be different.

If you need to extract a 50 ml aqueous solution with 50 ml of dichloromethane, what is the minimum size of a separatory funnel y
tatuchka [14]

The dichloromethane (DCM) has less density than water and also the polarity of water is much more than DCM. So the mixture of water and dichloromethane will always be a heterogeneous mixture. In the mixture dichloromethane will be always up of the water layer. The volume of the separatory funnel which contains the mixture of DCM and water must have to be more than the total volume of the liquids thus the volume of the funnel will be more than (50+50) = 100mL.

The caution have to consider during the separation are-

1. The separatory funnel have to shake well with lid and have to settle down for some times until the two liquid separated.

2. The lid should be open very slowly as the vapor pressure of DCM is more and it will float on the water.

3. After this the stopcock should be opened and slowly the water will come out first followed by DCM.
