The electrical charge of an atom having 15 proton, 14 neutrons and 16 electrons is -1. The correct option is D.

What is an atom?

An atom is the smallest unit of any matter which comprises of central nucleus and electrons revolving around the nucleus in definite energy shells. The atom is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.

The electrical charge of an atom can be calculated as,

Charge of an atom = number of protons - number of electrons

Charge = 15 - 16 = -1.

The neutrons are neutral and do not contribute to the charge, the protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged in an atom.

Therefore, the charge of an atom with 15 protons, 14 neutrons and 16 electrons is -1. The correct answer is option D.

What mass of barium sulfate (233 g/mol) is produced when 125 mL of a 0.150 M solution of barium chloride is mixed with 125 mL of
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

4.37 g of barium sulphate

Explanation:

The reaction equation is;

3BaCl2(aq) + Fe2(SO4)3(aq) ---->3 BaSO4(s) + 2FeCl3(aq)

From the question, the number of moles of both barium chloride and FeSO4 = 125/1000 L × 0.150 M = 0.01875 moles

To find the limiting reactant;

3 moles of barium chloride yields 3 moles of barium sulphate

0.01875 moles of barium chloride yields 3 × 0.01875 moles/3 = 0.01875 moles of barium sulphate

1 mole of iron III sulphate yields 3 moles of barium sulphate

0.01875 molesof iron III sulphate yields 0.01875 moles ×3/1 = 0.05625 moles of barium sulphate

Hence,barium chloride is the limiting reactant

Amount of barium sulphate produced = 0.01875 moles × 233 g/mol = 4.37 g of barium sulphate

What halogen can react with sodium chloride solution to produce chlorine?
ozzi

Answer:

As electro-negativity decreases from Florine to downwards in the group and only Florine is above Chlorine, so Florine should react with sodium chloride solution to produce chlorine.

During reduction, which of the following is true? A. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number increases. B. Electrons are g
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number decreases.

Explanation:

Reduction is the <em>gain of electrons</em>.

Oxidation number is the charge that an atom <em>appears</em> to have when we count its electrons in a specific way.

Electrons have a negative charge so, if an atom gains electrons, its charge (oxidation number) becomes more negative. The oxidation number decreases.

If electrons are given off, the atom is being oxidized. Loss of electrons is <em>oxidation</em>.
