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.

Which of the following natural resources cant be reused

ohaa [14]

Hi there! Air and sunlight can definitely be reused. Those are abundant and renewable resources. Therefore, A and D are eliminated. There is a limited amount of water, however, it's impossible to run out of it to the point that there's no more on Earth. C is out. The only answer choice that makes sense is coal, because it's a nonrenewable resource, and it takes millions of years to make more of. It's a fossil fuel, so once we use them up, we can't get anymore during our lives. The answer is B: coal.

CaBr + KOH – Ca(OH), + KBr (balance first) What mass, in grams, of

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

129.73 g of CaBr₂

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

CaBr₂ + 2KOH –> Ca(OH)₂ + 2KBr

Next, we shall determine the mass of CaBr₂ that reacted and the mass of Ca(OH)₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of CaBr₂ = 40 + (80×2)

= 40 + 160

= 200 g/mol

Mass of CaBr₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 200 = 200 g

Molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 40 + 2(16 + 1)

= 40 + 2(17)

= 40 + 34

= 74 g/mol

Mass of Ca(OH)₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 74 = 74 g

SUMMARY :

From the balanced equation above,

200 g of CaBr₂ reacted to produce 74 g of Ca(OH)₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CaBr₂ that react when 48 g of Ca(OH)₂ were produced. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

200 g of CaBr₂ reacted to produce 74 g of Ca(OH)₂.

Therefore, Xg of CaBr₂ will react to produce 48 g of Ca(OH)₂ i.e

Xg of CaBr₂ = (200 × 48)/74

Xg of CaBr₂ = 129.73 g

Thus, 129.73 g of CaBr₂ were consumed.
