Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of protons, neutrons and electrons present in the atom of oxygen-16 has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons inside the nucleus of an atom. This gives the number of subatomic particle present inside the nucleus. Mass number is represented by the symbol A.
From atomic number and mass number, the number of each sub atomic particle can be found.
Complete chemical symbol notation can be given as.
An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken by ordinary
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of protons, neutrons and electrons present in the atom of uranium-236 has to be given.
Concept Introduction:

EBK CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES
- Chlorine exists mainly as two isotopes, 37Cl and 33Cl. Which is more abundant? How do you know?arrow_forward4.80 The reaction shown below is used to destroy Freon-12 (CF2Cl2), preventing its release into the atmosphere. What mass of NaF will be formed if 250.0 kg of CF2Cl2 and 400.0 kg of Na2C2O4 are heated and allowed to react to completion? CF2Cl2+2Na2C2O42NaF+2NaCl+C+4CO2arrow_forwardGiven that the density of argon is 1.78 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, how many argon atoms are present in a room with dimensions 4.0 m 5.0 m 2.4 m that is filled with pure argon under these conditions of temperature and pressure?arrow_forward
- Is the decomposition of CuSO4· 5 H2O a physical or a chemical change? Why?arrow_forward5 g of anhydrous strontium nitrate is added to a beaker and exposed to the air. After several hours the beaker and the contents are weighed. It was found that the mass increased by 1.70 g. Assume that the increase in mass is totally due to the absorption of water by the anhydrous compound. What is the percentage of water in the hydrated sample?arrow_forwardWhat is the mass in grams of 2.01 x 1022 atoms of mercury?arrow_forward
- If I start this reaction with 40. grams of magnesium and an excess of nitric acid, how many grams of hydrogen gas will I produce?arrow_forward4) Using the density of argon= 1.54 g/L, how many argon atoms are present in a room with dimensions of 4.0 m x 5.0 m x 2.4 m that is filled with pure argon under these conditions?arrow_forward
