Answer:

62.9%

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of hydrate sodium carbonate (mNa₂CO₃.xH₂O): 71.5 g
  • Mass of anhydrous sodium carbonate (mNa₂CO₃): 26.5 g

Step 2: Calculate the mass lost of water

We will use the following expression.

mH₂O = mNa₂CO₃.xH₂O - mNa₂CO₃

mH₂O = 71.5 g - 26.5 g = 45.0 g

Step 3: Calculate the percent of water in the hydrate sodium carbonate

We will use the following expression.

%H₂O = mH₂O / mNa₂CO₃.xH₂O × 100%

%H₂O = 45.0 g / 71.5 g × 100%

%H₂O = 62.9%

An atom of the element zinc has an atomic number of 30 and a mass number of 65. How many protons does an uncharged zinc atom hav
navik [9.2K]

Answer : The correct option is, 30 protons

Explanation :

Element = Zinc

Atomic number = 30

Atomic mass number = 65

As we know that the atomic number is equal to the number of electrons and number of protons.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons = 30

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Number of protons = 65 - 30 = 35

Therefore, the number of protons an uncharged zinc atom have 30 protons.

How did knowing the number of valence electrons in one of the alien elements help to identify it? Explain how the table was used
lawyer [7]
Knowing the number of valence electrons in one of the alien elements helps in identifying it because the number of valence electrons can help categorize the alien element. Similar elements have the same valence electrons and knowing the category of the element can help further analyze the element.
