What happens when a chlorine atoms gains an electron?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ss7ja [257]4 years ago

A.) the ion has a -1 charge.

 If you add an electron, as is the case with chlorine, you upset the balance between the positive and negative charges.  There are 18 electrons and 17 protons, so the chlorine atom has become a charged chlorine ion with a charge of negative one (-1).

A certain compound has the following percent composition: 57.1% C, 4.8% H, and 38.l% O.
crimeas [40]

Answer:

C₆H₆O₃

Explanation:

Calculation sequence:

% => grams => moles => reduce => empirical Ratio

Molecular multiple = Molecular Mass / Empirical Mass

  C: => 57.1% => 57.1 g => 57.1/12 = 4.7583

  H: =>  4.8% =>  4.8 g =>   4.8/1  = 4.8000

  O: => <u>38.1% => 38.1 g </u>=> 38.1/16 = 2.3813

TTL => 100%       100 g

Reduced Mole values =>

C : H : O => 4.7583/2.3813 : 4.8000/2.3813 : 2.3813/2.3813 => 2 : 2 :  1

∴ empirical formula => C₂H₂O

empirical formula weight => 2C + 2H + 1O = [2(12) + 2(1) + 1(16)] amu = 42 amu

molecular formula weight (given in problem) = 126 g/mole

The molecular formula is a whole number multiple of the empirical formula.

molecular multiple = 126 amu / 42 amu = 3

∴ molecular formula => (C₂H₂O)₃ => C₆H₆O₃

PolarNik [594]
A composition reaction produces a single substance from multiple reactants. A decomposition reaction produces multiple products from a single reactant. Combustion reactions are the combination of some compound with oxygen to make oxides of the other elements as products (although nitrogen atoms react to make N2).
