Name an atom that loses one electron when it reacts to another atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
Hitman42 [59]2 years ago

Lithium, Sodium, Potassium; any of the Alkali Metals, which are farthest left on the periodic table. This is because they only have one electron in their outermost shell, so they would rather lose an electron rather than try to gain 7 to achieve that full outer shell.

Use the coefficients as a ratio. 1:6 = x:24. You can write these as fractions and cross multiply, 6x=24. Solve and x=4, so four molecules would be needed

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

                  Cu  +  4 HNO₃    →    Cu(NO₃)₂  +  2 NO₂  +  2 H₂O

Explanation:

Step 1: Write down the chemical formulas of given substances,

                                    Copper Metal  =  Cu

                                    Nitric Acid  =  HNO₃

                                    Copper (II) Nitrate  =  Cu(NO₃)₂

                                    Nitrogen Dioxide  =  NO₂

                                    Water  =  H₂O

Step 2: Write down the unbalance Chemical equation,

                         Cu  +  HNO₃    →    Cu(NO₃)₂  +  NO₂  +  H₂O

Step 3: Balance Cu atoms on both sides;

The number of Cu atoms on both sides are same. Hence, there number will remain the same.

Step 4: Balance N atoms on both sides;

As there is 1 N atom on left hand side and 3 N atoms on right hand side, so we will multiply HNO₃ by 3 to balance N on both sides, hence,

                         Cu  +  3 HNO₃    →    Cu(NO₃)₂  +  NO₂  +  H₂O

Step 5: Balance O atoms on both sides;

As there are 9 O atom on left hand side and 9 O atoms on right hand side, so they are balance.

Step 6: Balance H atoms on both sides;

As there are 3 H atom on left hand side and 2 H atoms on right hand side, so we will multiply H₂O by 2 as,

                         Cu  +  3 HNO₃    →    Cu(NO₃)₂  +  NO₂  +  2 H₂O

By doing so the number of O atoms got imbalanced, so to balance O atoms again we will multiply HNO₃ by 4 as,

                         Cu  +  4 HNO₃    →    Cu(NO₃)₂  +  NO₂  +  2 H₂O

Now, The Cu and H atoms are balanced, and the O atoms are greater on left hand side and the N atoms are greater on right hand side, therefore we will multiply NO₂ by 2 to balance both N and O as,

                         Cu  +  4 HNO₃    →    Cu(NO₃)₂  +  2 NO₂  +  2 H₂O

Would you expect an organic compound to be soluble in water why
RSB [31]

Answer: All organic compound depends on  H-bonding with water. more stronger H-bonding with water more will be soluble.

Explanation:

1. It depends primarily upon the function groups of that compound. It also depends on the size of the compound.  

2. some organic compound which soluble in water for example: alcohols, ethers, carboxylic acids.  Because of the functional groups attached to the organic structure (the C-H backbone) are what effect the solubilities.Like carboxylic acids and alcohols form hydrogen bonds with the water, helping to solubilize it.  

3. Take alcohols for example: methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol are all completely soluble in water. By the time you get to butanol and some of the larger alcohols, including those with more complex structures, they tend to be less soluble.
