The total number of neutrons in 5g of H2O are: 1 NA = 6.023 x 10^23

Correct answer: C. 2.5 NA

  • A. 25 NA
  • B. 1.1 NA
  • C. 2.5 NA
  • D. 0.5 NA

Explanation

The Protium (hydrogen isotope) does not have any neutrons. We assume a deuterium isotope that has one neutron. Molar mass of H2O (deuterium) = 2× 2 + 16 = 20 Number of neutrons in 1 H2O (deuterium) molecule = 1×2+8 = 10No. of moles of deuterium in 5g = 5/20 = ¼ NA No. of neutrons in 5g = 1/4 NA ×10 = 2.5 NAThis is numerical so it can only have one answer so option C is correct

About Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry

Mole calculations connect mass, number of particles and Avogadro's number, while balanced equations provide the mole ratios used in stoichiometry. Questions cover limiting and excess reactants, theoretical yield and percentage yield, including identifying which reactant is consumed first and comparing the actual product with the maximum possible product.
