While the number nuclear protons as given is 34, and therefore we deal with the element selenium, there are 2 more electrons than protons, and therefore this species has an overall
2
−
charge.
We represent this selenide ion as
S
e
2
−
. Do I win 5 pounds?
Z= 34, therefore the atom is selenium
Answer:
Explanation:
2NO3, Ca2+
Spectator ions exists in both sides of the equation. These ions are present in both sides thus cancel out (they do not contribute to reaction...i.e. they only watch or spectate ;) )
Answer:

Explanation:
They gave us the masses of two reactants and asked us to determine the mass of the product.
This looks like a limiting reactant problem.
1. Assemble the information
We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.
Mᵣ: 239.27 32.00 207.2
2PbS + 3O₂ ⟶ 2Pb + 2SO₃
m/g: 2.54 1.88
2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

3. Calculate the moles of Pb from each reactant

4. Calculate the mass of Pb

Answer:
c. ΔH° is positive and ΔS° is positive.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, as the Gibbs free energy for a reaction is defined in terms of the change in the enthalpy and entropy as shown below:

Thus, as the reaction becomes spontaneous (ΔG°<0) at temperatures above 1100K (high temperatures), it necessary that c. ΔH° is positive and ΔS° is positive as the entropy will drive the spontaneousness as it becomes smaller than TΔS°.
Best regards.
