Answer:

It would have a charge of +2.

Explanation:

A proton has a charge of +1, an elctron has a charge of -1, and a neutron has a charge of 0. Ignore the neurons since they have a charge of 0. Since there are 20 protons and 18 electrons (20-18), the overall charge of the atom is +2.

You have 16.0 g of some compound and you perform an experiment to remove all of the oxygen, 11.2 g of iron is left. What is the

Makovka662 [10]

The empirical formula of this compound is $Fe_2O_3$

<h3>Empirical formula </h3>

To calculate the empirical formula of a compound, the value of moles of each element is needed.

As we have the information of the mass value, we will use the molar mass expression, which corresponds to:

$MM_O = 16g/mol\\MM_Fe = 55.8g/mol$

$MM = \frac{m}{mol}$

$16 = \frac{4.8}{x}$

$x = 0.3mol$

$55.8=\frac{11.2}{x}\\x = 0.2$

As the value of the empirical formula must be an integer, simply multiply the two values by a common factor:

$O = 0.3 \times 10 = 3\\Fe = 0.2 \times 10 = 2$

$Fe_2O_3$

So, the empirical formula of this compound is $Fe_2O_3$ .

How many moles of Boron (B) are in 5.03 x 1024 B atoms?

goldfiish [28.3K]

Hey there!:

Number of moles = ( number of atoms / 6.023*10²³ atoms )

given number of atoms = 5.03*10²⁴

Therefore:

Number of moles B = 5.03*10²⁴ / 6.023*10²³

Number of moles B = 8.35 moles

Hope that helps!
