Answer:
39.2 g
Explanation:
- 2Ni₂O₃(s) ⟶ 4Ni(s) + 3O₂(g)
First we <u>convert 55.3 grams of Ni₂O₃ into moles of Ni₂O₃</u>, using its<em> molar mass</em>:
- 55.3 g ÷ 165.39 g/mol = 0.334 mol Ni₂O₃
Then we <u>convert 0.334 moles of Ni₂O₃ into moles of Ni</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>:
- 0.334 mol Ni₂O₃ *
= 0.668 mol Ni
Finally we <u>calculate how much do 0.668 Ni moles weigh</u>, using the<em> molar mass of Ni </em>:
- 0.668 mol Ni * 58.69 g/mol = 39.2 g
Answer:
A. there is an isotope of lanthanum with an atomic mass of 138.9
Explanation:
By knowing the different atomic masses of both Lanthanum atoms, we can not tell anything about their occurence in nature. Therefore, all the last three options are incorrect. Because, the atomic mass does not tell anything about the availability or natural abundance of an element.
Now, the isotopes of an element are those elements, which have same number of electrons and protons as the original element, but different number of neutrons. Therefore, they have same atomic number but, different atomic weight or atomic masses.
Hence, by looking at an elements having same atomic number, but different atomic masses, we can identify them as isotopes.
Thus, the correct option is:
<u>A. there is an isotope of lanthanum with an atomic mass of 138.9.</u>
I think it’s A but I’m not sure.
Answer:
To gain stability
Explanation:
If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.
