If an atom has one valence electron, how will it form ions?

1 answer:

4 0

Lose 1 electron

It will give it to an atom with more electrons. For example, Lithium (which has 1 valence electron) would give it to an atom that has more than 4 valence electrons

The principal component of mothballs is naphthalene, a compound with a molecular mass of about 130 amu, containing only carbon a

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Empirical formula = C5H4

Molecular formula = C10H8

Explanation:

When the 3000 mg of naphthalene are burned they produce 10.3 mg of CO2. Knowing the unbalanced equation of the combustion of naphthalene, we have:

CxHy + O2 = CO2 + H2O

We calculate the molar composition of the sample. We look for the molecular weights in the periodic table:

CO2 = 12,011 + 2 (15,999) = 44,009 g

Mol C = 10.3 mg * (1 mol CO2 / 44.009 g CO2) * (1 mol C / 1 mol CO2) = 0.234 mmol C

Mass C = 0.234 mmol C * (12.011 g C / 1 mol C) = 2.8105 mg C

Mass H = 3 mg - 2.8105 mg = 0.1895 mg H

Mol H = 0.1895 mg H * (1 mol H / 1,008 g H) = 0.188 mmol H

To calculate the empirical formula, we must divide the number of moles of each element by the smallest number of moles, in this case, of hydrogen:

C = 0.2340 mmol C / 0.1895 mol H = 1.25

H = 0.1895 mmol H / 0.1895 mmol H = 1

We multiply the coefficients by 4, and we have the empirical formula:

C1.25 * 4H1 * 4 = C5H4

The molecular formula is equal to (C5H4)m, where m is calculated by the molecular and empirical mass ratio, as follows:

Empirical mass = (5 * 12.011) + (4 * 1.008) = 64.09 g

m = 130 g / 64.09 g = 2.02 = 2

Therefore we have the molecular formula:

(C5H4)2 = C10H8

Two solutions are combined in a beaker. One solution contains 500.0 g of potassium phosphate and the other contains 500.0 g of c

Anna [14]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is

Two solutions are combined in a beaker. One solution contains 500.0 g of potassium phosphate and the other contains 500.0 g of calcium nitrate. A double displacement reaction occurs. What mass of each of the following substances is present when the reaction stops. A) potassium phosphate remaining B) calcium nitrate g remaining C) calcium phosphate formed D) potassium nitrate g formed

Answer:

a)84.91g

b)8.20g

c)316.4g

d)616.73g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction:

2K3PO4(aq) + 3Ca(NO3)2 (aq)-------> 6KNO3(aq) + Ca3(PO4)2(s)

Molar mass of potassium phosphate= 212.27 g/mol

Amount of potassium phosphate= 500/212.27= 2.4 moles

Molar mass of calcium nitrate= 164.088 g/mol

Amount of calcium nitrate= 500/164.088=3.05moles

a) amount of potassium phosphate reacted according to reaction equation= 2 moles

Amount of potassium phosphate remaining= 2.4-2=0.4 moles

Mass of potassium phosphate remaining= 0.4×212.27=84.91g

b) Amount of calcium nitrate reacted according to reaction equation=3

Amount of calcium nitrate remaining=3.05-3= 0.05

Mass of calcium nitrate remaining= 0.05×164.088= 8.20g

c) since calcium nitrate is the limiting reactant, we use to estimate the mass of products formed.

From the reaction equation,

3 moles of calcium nitrate yields 1 mole of calcium phosphate

3.05 moles of calcium nitrate yields 3.05/3 = 1.02 moles of calcium phosphate

Molar Mass of calcium phosphate= 310.18 g/mol

Mass of calcium phosphate produced= 1.02×310.18= 316.4g

3 moles of calcium nitrate yields 6 moles of potassium nitrate

3.05 moles of calcium nitrate yields 3.05×6/3= 6.1 moles of potassium nitrate

Molar mass of potassium nitrate = 101.1032 g/mol

Mass of potassium nitrate formed= 6.1× 101.1032= 616.73g
