Atom:Proton number same as number of electron.

Ion:Electronic configuration becomes "2.8.8" because the atom configuration is "2.8.5" the last shell have 5 electrons is more than "3" so you need to add electrons TILL the maximium that shell can hold to make it stable.If for example if the configuration is "2.8.3" you take the 3 electrons out from the last shell in order to make it stable.

Take out:1,2,3 electrons

Add:4 electron and above depends on what shell,but of course don't add MORR when is at the max the shell can hold.

CH, +<br> ,<br> 0, → _CO, +<br> Н,0<br> Balance chemical equation
Flura [38]

Answer:

2 CH2 + 3 O2 = 2 CO2 + 2 H2O

Explanation:

This is what I think that you meant by the question listed. When balancing a chemical equation, you want to make sure that there are equal amounts of each element on each side.

Originally, the equation's elements looked like this: 1 C on left & 1 C on right; 2 H on left & 2 H on right; 2 O on left and 3 O on right. Because these are not balanced, you need to add coefficients.

When adding coefficients, you need to make sure that all of the elements stay balanced, not just one that you are trying to fix. I know that some equations are really difficult to balance, and when that is the case, there are equation balancing websites that can help out.

However, what always helps me is making a chart and continuing to keep up with the changes I am making. It is a trial and error process.

How is density different from weight and mass?
defon

Hello there!

How is density different from weight and mass you say? It's simple!

1. Unlike weight, density is composed of mass and volume.

2. By dividing the mass over the volume, you can determine an object's density, while weight is the product of mass and gravity.

Hope this helps :) if so, can I get Brainliest?

4. A student purified a 500-mg sample of phthalic acid by recrystallization from water. The published solubility of phthalic aci
kupik [55]

Answer:

2.77 mL of boiling water is the minimum amount which will dissolve 500 mg of phthalic acid.

Explanation:

We know from the problem that 18 g of phthalic acid are dissolved in 100 mL of water at 99 °C.

Now we devise the following reasoning:

If          18 g of phthalic acid are dissolved in 100 mL of water at 99 °C

Then   0.5 g of phthalic acid are dissolved in X mL of water at 99 °C

X = (0.5 × 100) / 18 = 2.77 mL of water

Solid chromium (III) reacts with oxygen gas to form solid Cr2O3. What is this type of reaction?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

.081 g of O2

Explanation:

4Cr + 3O2 -----> 2Cr2O3

.175 g Cr x [1 mole / 52.0 g] x [2 moles Cr2O3 / 4 moles Cr] x [152 g / 1 mole] = .256 g of Cr2O3

.175 g Cr x [1 mole / 52.0 g] x [3 moles O2 / 4 moles Cr] x [32 g / 1 mole] = .081 g of O2
