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.

The decomposition of NI3 to form N2 and I2 releases −290.0 kJ of energy. The reaction can be represented as 2NI3(s)→N2(g)+3I2(g)
EastWind [94]

Answer:

-7.34 kilo Joules is the change in enthaply when 20.0 grams of nitrogen triiodide decomposes.

Explanation:

Mass of nitrogen triiodide = 20.0 g

Moles of nitrogen triiodide = \frac{20.0 g}{395 g/mol}=0.05063 mol

2NI_3(s)\rightarrow N_2(g)+3I_2(g), \Delta H_{rxn}=-290.0 kJ

According to reaction, 2 moles of nitrogen triiodide gives 290.0 kilo Joules of heat on decomposition ,then 0.05063 moles of nitrogen triiodide will give :

\frac{-290.0 kJ}{2}\times 0.05063=-7.34 kJ

-7.34 kilo Joules is the change in enthaply when 20.0 grams of nitrogen triiodide decomposes.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Answer: 1. 2Al+3CuCl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3Cu

2. 3 moles of CuCl_2 : 2 moles of Al

3. 0.33 moles of CuCl_2 : 0.92 moles of Al

4. CuCl_2 is the limiting reagent and Al is the excess reagent.

5. Theoretical yield of AlCl_3 is 29.3 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Al=\frac{25.0g}{27g/mol}=0.92moles

\text{Moles of} CuCl_2=\frac{45.0g}{134g/mol}=0.33moles

The balanced chemical equation is:

2Al+3CuCl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3Cu  

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of CuCl_2 require = 2 moles of Al

Thus 0.33 moles of CuCl_2 will require=\frac{2}{3}\times 0.33=0.22moles  of Al

Thus CuCl_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Al is the excess reagent.

As 3 moles of CuCl_2 give = 2 moles of AlCl_3

Thus 0.33 moles of CuCl_2 give =\frac{2}{3}\times 0.33=0.22moles  of AlCl_3

Theoretical yield of AlCl_3=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.22moles\times 133.34g/mol=29.3

Thus 29.3 g of aluminium chloride is formed.

Consider the two facts below:
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

A. There is more dissolved oxygen in colder waters than in warm water.

D. If ocean temperature rise, then the risk to the fish population increases.

Explanation:

Conclusion that can be drawn from the two facts stated above:

*Dissolved oxygen is essential nutrient for fish survival in their aquatic habitat.

*Dissolved oxygen would decrease as the temperature of aquatic habit rises, and vice versa.

*Fishes, therefore, would thrive best in colder waters than warmer waters.

The following are scenarios that can be explained by the facts given and conclusions arrived:

A. There is more dissolved oxygen in colder waters than in warm water (solubility of gases decreases with increase in temperature)

D. If ocean temperature rise, then the risk to the fish population increases (fishes will thrive best in colder waters where dissolved oxygen is readily available).
