When an atom becomes an ion does its mass number change?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aniked [119]3 years ago
8 0
Its mass number does not change because the atom is losing or gaining electrons, so the change is almost not measurable because the electrons weigh so little. 

In other words: its mass number does not change

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

2s^2 2p^2

Explanation:

Group 4A contains a total of 4 electrons for each atom in their valence shell. Filling the orbital diagram, let's say, for carbon, notice that when we start with period 2, we have two elements in the s-block, that is, lithium and beryllium. They correspond to the two s electrons that belong to the valence shell of carbon.

Moving on, we have boron and carbon, the remaining 2 electrons. Now, starting with boron, we're in the p-block.

That said, looking at the second period, the electron configuration for the valence shell of a group 4A element would be:

2s^2 2p^2

Acetylene, C2H2, can be converted to ethane, C2H6, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction is C2H2(g) + 2H2(g) ⇌ C2H6(
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

-255.4 kJ

Explanation:

The free energy of a reversible reaction can be calculated by:

ΔG = (ΔG° + RTlnQ)*n

Where R is the gas constant (8.314x10⁻³ kJ/mol.K), T is the temperature in K, n is the number of moles of the products (n =1), and Q is the reaction quotient, which is calculated based on the multiplication of partial pressures by the partial pressure of the products elevated by their coefficient divide by the multiplication of the partial pressure of the reactants elevated by their coefficients.

C₂H₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇄ C₂H₆(g)

Q = pC₂H₆/[pC₂H₂ * (pH₂)²]

Q = 0.261/[8.58*(3.06)²]

Q = 3.2487x10⁻³

ΔG = -241.2 + 8.314x10⁻³x298*ln(3.2487x10⁻³)

ΔG = -255.4 kJ
