How do you know how many electrons an element will gain or lose in forming an ion?

1 answer:

7 0

First the element has to be stable. One chooses the easiest way to make the element stable. for example : Al has 13 electrons and you want to make it stable, you consider the outermost electrons where in AL the are three so it is easier for Al to lose three than to gain five

Calculate how many moles of NH3 form when each quantity of reactant completely reacts according to the equation:

sergiy2304 [10]

The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>3N2H4(l)→4NH3(g)+N2(g)
</span>
The amounts given for the N2H4 reactant will be the starting point for our calculations.

2.6mol N2H4 ( 4 mol NH3 / 3 mol N2H4 ) = 3.47 mol NH3

4.05mol N2H4 ( 4 mol NH3 / 3 mol N2H4 ) = 5.4 mol NH3

63.8g N2H4 <span>( 4 mol NH3 / 3 mol N2H4 ) = 85.07 mol NH3</span>
