Answer:

The first thing you will need to do is find some information about your element. Go to the Periodic Table of Elements and click on your element. If it makes things easier, you can select your element from an alphabetical listing.

Number of Protons = Atomic Number

Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number

Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

For krypton:

Number of Protons = Atomic Number = 36

Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number = 36

Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number = 84 - 36 = 48

Calculate mass of hydrogen chloride produced from 11.3g H and 11.3g Cl. H2 + Cl2 -> 2HCl

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

22.6According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of reactants should be equal to the total mass of products. Here, total mass of reactants= 11.3+11.3=22.6

•

• • Mass of Hcl produced=22.6 g

Why is copper (i) sulfate Cu2So4^-2? not copper (ii)?

const2013 [10]

Copper (I) oxidation state is 1 Cu2So4
copper (II) oxidation state is +2 CuSo4
copper (i) also give up one electron so you need two of them to react with the sulfate ion (which has charge of -2)
and also all metallic ions have an multiple oxidation levels corresponding to the number of electrons they can exchange or loose
Hope this helps

Determine the reducing agent in the following reaction. Explain your answer. 2 Li(s) + Fe(C2H3O2)2(aq) → 2 LiC2H3O2(aq) + Fe(s)

Brilliant_brown [7]

The reducing agent in the reaction 2Li(s) + Fe(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → 2LiCH₃COO(aq) + Fe(s) is lithium (Li).

The general reaction is:

2Li(s) + Fe(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → 2LiCH₃COO(aq) + Fe(s) (1)

We can write the above reaction in two reactions, one for oxidation and the other for reduction:

Oxidation reaction

Li⁰(s) → Li⁺(aq) + e⁻ (2)

Reduction reaction

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Fe⁰(s) (3)

We can see that Li⁰ is oxidizing to Li⁺ (by losing one electron) in the lithium acetate (reaction 2) and that Fe²⁺ in iron(II) acetate is reducing to Fe⁰ (by gaining two electrons) (reaction 3).

We must remember that the reducing agent is the one that will be oxidized by reducing another element and that the oxidizing agent is the one that will be reduced by oxidizing another species.

In reaction (1), the reducing agent is Li (it is oxidizing to Li⁺), and the oxidizing agent is Fe(CH₃COO)₂ (it is reducing to Fe⁰).

Therefore, the reducing agent in reaction (1) is lithium (Li).

Complete the dissociation reaction and the corresponding Ka equilibrium expression for each of the following acids in water. (Ty

anastassius [24]

Answer :

(A) The dissociation reaction of $HC_2H_3O_2$ will be:

$HC_2H_3O_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+C_2H_3O_2^-(aq)$

The equilibrium expression :

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][C_2H_3O_2^-]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]}$

(B) The dissociation reaction of $Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}$ will be:

$Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+Co(H_2O)_5(OH)^{2+}(aq)$

The equilibrium expression :

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][Co(H_2O)_5(OH)^{2+}]}{[Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}]}$

(C) The dissociation reaction of $CH_3NH_3^+$ will be:

$CH_3NH_3^+(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+CH_3NH_2(aq)$

The equilibrium expression :

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][CH_3NH_2]}{[CH_3NH_3^+]}$

Explanation :

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is determined by multiplying the concentrations of products and divided by the concentrations of the reactants and each concentration is raised to the power that is equal to the coefficient in the balanced reaction.

As we know that the concentrations of pure solids and liquids are constant that is they do not change. Thus, they are not included in the equilibrium expression.

(A) The dissociation reaction of $HC_2H_3O_2$ will be:

$HC_2H_3O_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+C_2H_3O_2^-(aq)$

The equilibrium expression of $HC_2H_3O_2$ will be:

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][C_2H_3O_2^-]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]}$

(B) The dissociation reaction of $Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}$ will be:

$Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+Co(H_2O)_5(OH)^{2+}(aq)$

The equilibrium expression of $Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}$ will be:

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][Co(H_2O)_5(OH)^{2+}]}{[Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}]}$

(C) The dissociation reaction of $CH_3NH_3^+$ will be:

$CH_3NH_3^+(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+CH_3NH_2(aq)$

The equilibrium expression of $CH_3NH_3^+$ will be:

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][CH_3NH_2]}{[CH_3NH_3^+]}$
