Solve if an element has a charge of 2+, how many more protons does it have than electrons? protons

1 answer:

8 0

To determine how many protons are present, simply know or use the following equation

X = number of protons
Y = number of electrons
Z = formal charge of the element

X - Y = Z = 0 for a neutral atom

X - Y = 2

Then to solve for x

X = Y + 2.

This means that we would need an additional 2 more protons than electrons.

From the value Kf=1.2×109 for Ni(NH3)62+, calculate the concentration of NH3 required to just dissolve 0.016 mol of NiC2O4 (Ksp

Nina [5.8K]

Answer: The concentration of $NH_3$ required will be 0.285 M.

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of $NiC_2O_4$ , we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Moles of $NiC_2O_4$ = 0.016 moles

Volume of solution = 1 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of }NiC_2O_4=\frac{0.016mol}{1L}=0.016M$

For the given chemical equations:

$NiC_2O_4(s)\rightleftharpoons Ni^{2+}(aq.)+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K_{sp}=4.0\times 10^{-10}$

$Ni^{2+}(aq.)+6NH_3(aq.)\rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K_f=1.2\times 10^9$

Net equation: $NiC_2O_4(s)+6NH_3(aq.)\rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K=?$

To calculate the equilibrium constant, K for above equation, we get:

$K=K_{sp}\times K_f\\K=(4.0\times 10^{-10})\times (1.2\times 10^9)=0.48$

The expression for equilibrium constant of above equation is:

$K=\frac{[C_2O_4^{2-}][[Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}]}{[NiC_2O_4][NH_3]^6}$

As, $NiC_2O_4$ is a solid, so its activity is taken as 1 and so for $C_2O_4^{2-}$

We are given:

$[[Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}]=0.016M$

Putting values in above equations, we get:

$0.48=\frac{0.016}{[NH_3]^6}}$

$[NH_3]=0.285M$

Hence, the concentration of $NH_3$ required will be 0.285 M.

Boron sulfide, B2S3(s), reacts violently with water to form dissolved boric acid (H3BO3) and hydrogen sulfide gas

Gwar [14]

The equation structure for the above mentioned reaction can be written as

$B_{2} S_{3}+6 H_{2} O \rightarrow 2 H_{3} B O_{3}+3 H_{2} S \uparrow$

Explanation:

Considering the above reaction, When Boron sulfide, reacts with water more violently to form boric acid and hydrogen sulfide gas.

$B_{2} S_{3}+H_{2} O \rightarrow H_{3} B O_{3}+H_{2} S \uparrow$

In order to balance the equation, we can do as follows.There are 2 B - atoms on both sides of the equation, but only 2 H - atoms, and one O - atom on LHS, so we have to balance it by putting 6 in front of water and 2 in front of Boric acid and 3 in front of hydrogen sulphide gas, so that we have 2 B - atoms, 3 - S atoms, 12 H - atoms on both sides of the equation, and it is balanced. Balanced equation is given as,

$B_{2} S_{3}+6 H_{2} O \rightarrow 2 H_{3} B O_{3}+3 H_{2} S \uparrow$

Thus a Balanced equation of the above mentioned reaction is written.
