Determine the element symbol, mass number, and charge for an atom or ion that has a 51 neutrons, 38 protons, and 36 electrons.

Chemistry

Answer:

Strontium

Explanation:

To find the element, we need to know the atomic number. There is this rule in chemistry that says that the number of protons and the atomic number are the same. Since we know that there are 38 protons, the atomic number is also 38, leading us to Strontium. Sr -- element symbol.

The mass number is located below the element symbol on a periodic table. The mass number or the atomic mass for Strontium is 87.62 u.

Since there are an uneven amount of protons and electrons, let's subtract the number of electrons from the number of protons to find the difference. 38-36 = 2. (Also, protons are positive and electrons are negative, meaning there are more + than - in the ionic charge). Which means, the atom has a +2 ionic charge.

What is the mass in grams of 5.25 x 1024 molecules of NaOH?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer: The mass is 348.8g

Explanation:

We begin by using Avogadro's number to convert the number of molecules of  Sodium Hydroxide to moles.

6.02 x 10∧23 molecules of NaOH -------> 1 mole of NaOH

∴ 5.25 x 10∧24 molecules of NaOH -------> 1/ 6.02 x 10∧23 x 5.25 x 10∧24 =

                                                                    8.72moles.

Having found the number of moles, we then move from moles to gram by using the molar mass of NaOH (i.e the mass of 1 mole of NaOH).

1 mole of NaOH is equivalent to 40g (Molar Mass)

8.72 moles of NaOH would be equivalent to; 40/ 1  x 8.72 = 348.8g

The mass in 5.25 x 10∧24molecules of NaOH is 348.8g

Will give brainliest <br><br> What is ozone depletion in simple words
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Ozone layer depletion is the thinning of the ozone layer present in the upper atmosphere. This happens when the chlorine and bromine atoms in the atmosphere come in contact with ozone and destroy the ozone molecules. One chlorine can destroy 100,000 molecules of ozone. It is destroyed more quickly than it is created

Is the equation for reaction 1 balanced? Explain your reasoning. If the reaction is not balanced, then state how you would balan
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Reaction is already balanced

Explanation:

The equation in reaction 1 is given as;

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 --> CO2 + H2O +  Na+   +  CH3COO-

The reaction is already balanced. This is because the umber of atoms of elements in the reactant is equal to that of the products

Carbon

Reactant = 2 + 1 = 3

Product = 2 + 2 = 3

Hydrogen

Reactant = 3 + 1 + 1 = 5

Product = 2 + 3 = 5

Oxygen

Reactant = 2 + 3 = 5

Product = 2 +1 + 2 = 5

Sodium

Reactant = 1

Product = 1
