Consider the anion whose charge is 2- and whose electron configuration is identical to argon. what is the symbol for this anion

1 answer:

8 0

If the ion is negatively charged, anion, it means that it gains two electrons from its surroundings. The number of electrons of an argon (neutral atom) is 18. Two of the electrons in our anion is from the surrounding, so originally it only has 16 electrons.

In the periodic table, the 16th element is sulphur. The chemical symbol of sulphur is S. Thus, the anion is the negatively charged sulphur with chemical symbol of S2-.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when heptane, C7H16(l) , burns in air.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Start with Unbalanced Equation and balance it, so...
C7H16+O2--->CO2+H2O
There are 7 C atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 7 C atoms on the right-hand side. Add a 7 in front of the CO2...7CO2+H2O on right side now.
We have fixed 16 H atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 16 H atoms on the right-hand side. Add an 8 in front of H2O to make 16 (8x2)...7CO2+8H2O on right side now.
There are 22 O atoms on the right-hand side: 14 from the CO2 and 8 from the H2O. Add an 11 in front of the O2 on the left side to make 22 (11x2).
Every formula now has a fixed coefficient. You should have a balanced equation of...
C7H16+11O2--->7CO2+8H2O

The specific heat of a certain type of cooking oil is 1.75 J/(g⋅°C). How much heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\textbf{609 kJ}}

Explanation:

The formula for the heat absorbed is

q = mCΔT

Data:

m = 2.07 kg

T₁ = 23 °C

T₂ = 191 °C

C = 1.75 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹

Calculations:

1. Convert kilograms to grams

2.07 kg = 2070 g

2. Calculate ΔT

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 191 - 23 = 168 °C

3. Calculate q

$q = \text{2070 g} \times 1.75 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times 168 \,^{\circ}\text{C} = \text{609 000 J} = \textbf{609 kJ}\\\text{The heat energy required is }\large \boxed{\textbf{609 kJ}}$

What is heat energy in science

Ket [755]

Answer:

Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Heat energy can be transferred from one object to another. the transfer or flow from one object to another is called heat.

hopefully this helped :3
