To find the number of electrons in a neutral gold atom look at it's atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the element. For an atom to be neutral it needs the same number of electrons as protons, therefore the positive and negative charges will be balanced out. Gold's atomic number is 79 therefore it has 79 electrons.

Write the balanced NET IONIC equation for the reaction that occurs when perchloric acid and calcium hypochlorite are combined. I

Elanso [62]

Answer:

$H^+(aq)+(ClO)^-(aq)\rightarrow HClO{(aq)}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since perchloric acid is HClO4 and is a strong acid and calcium hypochlorite is Ca(ClO)2, the undergoing molecular chemical reaction turns out:

$2HClO_4{(aq)}+Ca(ClO)_2{(aq)}\rightarrow 2HClO{(aq)}+Ca(ClO_4)_2{(aq)}$

Thus, since the resulting hypochlorous acid is weak, it does not fully ionize, so it remains unionized, however, we can write the ions for the other species:

$2H^++2(ClO_4)^-+Ca^{2+}+2(ClO)^-\rightarrow 2HClO{(aq)}+Ca^{2+}+2(ClO_4)^-$

Now, we can cancel out the spectator ions, calcium and perchlorate, to obtain:

$2H^+(aq)+2(ClO)^-(aq)\rightarrow 2HClO{(aq)}\\\\H^+(aq)+(ClO)^-(aq)\rightarrow HClO{(aq)}$

Best regards!

Answer:

Explanation:

You should NEVER eat or drink anything in a lab area. You never know what chemicals or gases are in the lab, and they can harm you.

Wearing a drawstring hoodie won't protect you from chemicals.

Don't wait to clean up chemicals, immediately get a teacher and clean it up (follow the teachers instructions). You never know what has spilled, and if it is harmful or not, or if there is a certain procedure to clean it up.

Don't change the equipment in the middle of an experiment. This can tamper with your results, and depending on what you are working with, this can be dangerous.
