The mass number of this particular element is 37
An element with 17 protons will ALWAYS be chlorine.
The mass number is found by adding the element’s protons and neutrons.
protons+neutrons=mass number
Here is the math if needed,
17+20=37
Therefore the mass number is 37
I hope this helped!
Answer:
31.3grams
Explanation:
The amount of a radioactive element that remains, N(t), can be calculated by using the formula;
N(t) = N(o) × 0.5^{t/t(1/2)}
Where;
N(t) = mass of substance remaining
N(o) = mass of original substance
t(1/2) = half-life of substance
t = time elapsed
From the provided information; N(t) = ?, N(o) = 250g, t(1/2) = 1599 years, t = 4797 years
N(t) = 250 × 0.5^{4797/1599}
N(t) = 250 × 0.5^(3)
N(t) = 250 × 0.125
N(t) = 31.25g
N(t) = 31.3grams
Mass and volume are two units used to measure objects. Mass- the amount of matter an object contains and volume- how much space it takes up
2HCl(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇒ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂S(g)

Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:
- 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.
- 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product
- 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1
Reaction
HCl(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇒ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂S(g)
1. give equation
aHCl(aq) + bZnS(s) ⇒ ZnCl₂(aq) + cH₂S(g)
2. make an equation
H, left=a, right=2c⇒a=2c(eq 1)
Cl, left=a, right=2⇒a=2⇒c=1(from eq 1)
Zn, left=b, right=1⇒b=1
So the equation :
2HCl(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇒ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂S(g)
