<u>Answer:</u> The number of protons and electrons in the given ion are 8, 10 respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

For the given representation of ion, which is:  O^{2-}

We are given:

Atomic number = Number of protons = 8

Charge on the ion = -2

Number of electrons = Number of protons - charge = 8 - (-2) = 10

Hence, the number of protons and electrons in the given ion are 8, 10 respectively.

GrogVix [38]

3.37 x 10¹⁰ molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of water = 1pL = 1 x 10⁻¹²L

Density of water = 1.00g/mL = 1000g/L

Unknown:

Number of water molecules = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we first find the mass of the water molecule in the inkjet.

       Mass of water = density of water x volume of water

Then, the number of molecules can be determined using the expression below:

        number of moles = \frac{mass of water}{molar mass of water}

 Number of molecules = number of moles x 6.02 x 10²³

Solving:

Mass of water = 1 x 10⁻¹² x 1000 = 1 x 10⁻⁹g

Number of moles:

Molar mass of H₂O = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

Number of moles = \frac{1 x 10^{-12} }{18} = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁴moles

Number of molecules =  5.6 x 10⁻¹⁴   x   6.02 x 10²³ = 33.7 x 10⁹

                                     = 3.37 x 10¹⁰ molecules

Calcium has an atomic number of 20. How many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding?
NARA [144]

The answer is 2 electrons.


The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements.  Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known  as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas,   calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.

Ideal He gas expanded at constant pressure of 3 atm until its volume was increased from 9 liters to 15 liters. During this proce
kkurt [141]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

             P = 3 atm

                = 3 atm \times \frac{1.01325 \times 10^{5} Pa}{1 atm}  

                 = 3.03975 \times 10^{5} Pa

    V_{1} = 9 L = 9 \times 10^{-3} m^{3}    (as 1 L = 0.001 m^{3}),  

        V_{2} = 15 L = 15 \times 10^{-3} m^{3}

            Heat energy = 800 J

As relation between work, pressure and change in volume is as follows.

                  W = P \times \Delta V

or,                W = P \times (V_{2} - V_{1})

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                  W = P \times (V_{2} - V_{1})

                      = 3.03975 \times 10^{5} Pa \times (15 \times 10^{-3} m^{3} - 9 \times 10^{-3} m^{3})

                      = 1823.85 Nm

or,                   = 1823.85 J

As internal energy of the gas \Delta E is as follows.

                     \Delta E = Q - W

                                  = 800 J - 1823.85 J

                                  = -1023.85 J

Thus, we can conclude that the internal energy change of the given gas is -1023.85 J.
