> How many valence electrons does a helium atom have?

The electron configuration of Helium is simply 1s2. We see that its outermost shell is the s shell and it contains 2 electrons, therefore the number of valence electrons is also 2.

 

> What is the formula of the ion formed when potassium achieves noble-gas electron configuration?

Potassium has a electron configuration of [Ar] 4s1. To have an electron configuration of only [Ar] which is a noble gas, the one electron from 4s1 should be removed, hence:

How many grams of ammonia produced from 1000 grams of N2?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

N2 + 3H2 ———> 2NH3

As we know 1000 grams ammonia is 58.82 moles so according to unitary method,

2 mole NH3 formed by 1 mole N2 hence 58.82 NH3 will be given by 29.41 moles N2.

No. Of moles = given mass/molar mass

Implies that

Mass of nitrogen required = 29.41*28 = 823.48 grams.

Milk of magnesia has the chemical formula Mg(OH)2. What is the mass of 3.2 moles of milk of magnesia? The molar Mass of magnesiu
GenaCL600 [577]
To calculate the mass of milk of magnesia given, we need certain data like molar mass of the compound which needs the atomic mass of the atoms in the compound. We calculate as follows:

Molar mass of <span>Mg(OH)2 = 24.3 g/mol + (2 x (16 + 1.0)) = 58.30 g/mol

Mass = 3.2 mol (</span>58.30 g/mol) = 186.56 grams
