Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Mass number is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom.

On the other hand, atomic number is only the total number of protons present  in an atom.

Also, when an atom is electrically neutral in nature then its number of protons equal to the number of electrons present in it.

For example, an electrically neutral atom of gallium has 31 electrons and 39 neutrons. This means that it also contains 31 protons.

Hence, mass number of gallium will be as follows.

                Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                                        = 31 + 39

                                        = 70

Thus, we can conclude that the mass number for an atom of gallium is 70.

If the atom is neutral (meaning, not charged) the number of electron is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of an atom is the sum of the number of proton and the number of neutrons. From the given above, the mass number of gallium is 31 + 39. The answer is letter D. 70.

Lisa [10]

Answer: d. More than 6.5 grams of copper (II) is formed, and some copper chloride is left in the reaction mixture.

Explanation: 2Al+3CuCl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3Cu

As can be seen from the chemical equation, 2 moles of aluminium react with 3 moles of copper chloride.

According to mole concept, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molar mass.

Aluminium is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and copper chloride is the excess reagent as (14-7.5)=6.5 g is left as such.

Thus 54 g of of aluminium react with 270 g of copper chloride.

1.50 g of aluminium react with=\frac{270}{54}\times 1.50=7.5 gof copper chloride.

3 moles of copper chloride gives 3 moles of copper.

7.5 g of copper chloride gives 7.5 g of copper.

Butoxors [25]

Actually the strength of London dispersion forces highly depend on the total number of electrons and the area in which they are spread. We can see clearly that iodine will have the strongest LDF's, and hence, have the highest boiling point (and melting point). This is also the reason why iodine is a solid at room temperature, bromine is liquid and chlorine and fluorine are gases.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

2.49*10⁻¹² mol

Explanation:

Use Avogadro's Number for this equation (6.022*10²³).  Divide Avogrado's by the number of atoms you have to find moles.  You are answer should be 2.49*10⁻¹² mol.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

2HCl(aq) + Na2SO3(aq) —> 2NaCl(aq) + H2SO3(aq)

Explanation:

HCl(aq) + Na2SO3(aq) —> NaCl(aq) + H2SO3(aq)

Let us balance the equation. This is illustrated below:

There are 2 atoms of Na on the left side of the equation and 1atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of NaCl as shown below:

HCl(aq) + Na2SO3(aq) —> 2NaCl(aq) + H2SO3(aq)

Now, we have 2 atoms of Cl on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. Thus, it can be balance by putting 2 in front of HCl as shown below:

2HCl(aq) + Na2SO3(aq) —> 2NaCl(aq) + H2SO3(aq)

A careful look at the equation proved that the equation is balanced as the numbers of the different atoms of the element on both side of the equation are the same.
