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.

Which of the following leads to a higher rate of diffusion?
miv72 [106K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Higher velocity of particles

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The diffusion rate is determined by a variety of factors which includes;

  • Temperature such that the higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly and the diffusion rate will be high.
  • Concentration gradient such that the greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the rate of diffusion.
  • Higher velocity of particles increases the diffusion rate as this means more kinetic energy by the particles and hence the particles will mix and move faster, thus higher diffusion rate.

You can calculate the excess reactant by subtracting the mass of excess reagent consumed from the total mass of reagent given therefore,
The answer: Theoretical yield is 121.60 g of NH₃
Excess reactant is H₂
Rate limiting reactant is N₂
explanation: 100 g of Nitrogen
100 g of hydrogen
We are required to identify the theoretical yield of the reaction, the excess reactant and the rate limiting reagent.
We first write the equation for the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen;
N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃
From the reaction 1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of Hydrogen gas.
Secondly we determine the moles of nitrogen gas given and hydrogen gas given;
Moles of Nitrogen gas
Moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass
Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.0 g/mol
Moles of Nitrogen gas = 100 g ÷ 28 g/mol 3.57 moles
Moles of Hydrogen gas
Molar mass of Hydrogen gas = 2.02 g/mol
Moles = 100 g ÷ 2.02 g/mol
= 49.50 moles
From the mole ratio given by the equation, 1 mole of nitrogen requires 3 moles of Hydrogen gas.
Thus, 3.57 moles of Nitrogen gas requires (3.57 × 3) 10.71 moles of Hydrogen gas.
This means, Nitrogen gas is the rate limiting reagent and hydrogen gas is the excess reactant.
Third calculate the theoretical yield of the reaction.
1 mole of nitrogen reacts to from 2 moles of ammonia gas
Therefore;
Moles of ammonia gas produced = Moles of nitrogen × 2
= 3.57 moles × 2
= 7.14 moles
But; molar mass of Ammonia gas is = 17.03 g/mol
Therefore;
Mass of ammonia gas produced = 7.14 moles × 17.03 g/mol
= 121.59 g
= 121.60 g
Thus, the theoretical amount of ammonia gas produced is 121.60 g
