Question

find the number of neutrons present in 2.5 g of H2SO4​

Answer 1

Answer:

H2 = 2 protons only.

S = 16 protons and 16 neutrons.

O4 = 32 protons and 32 neutrons.

Totals in H2SO4 ...Protons = 50, Neutrons = 48.

H3PO4

Hydrogen: 1 proton, 0 neutrons

Phosphorus: 15 protons, 16 neutrons

Oxygen:8 protons, 8 neutrons.

Keep in mind that there are 3 moles of hydrogen and 4 moles of Oxygen.

1(3) + 15 +8(4) = 50 Protons

0(3) +16 + 8(4) = 48 Neutrons
