Answer: 13.888g

Explanation:

CaCO3 —> CaO + CO2

From the equation above, 1mole of CaCO3 produces 1mole of CaO. Since the answer is to be expressed in grams, let us covert this mole to grams. This is illustrated below:

MM of CaCO3 = 40 +12 + (16x3) = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100g/mol

MM of CaO = 40 + 16 = 56g/mol

From the equation,

100g of CaCO3 produced 56g CaO

Therefore, 24.8g of CaCO3 will produce Xg of CaO i.e

Xg of CaO = (24.8 x 56) / 100 = 13.888g

Therefore, the theoretical yield of CaO is 13.888g

An ion has a mass number of 65, 36 neutrons, and a charge of +1 . Identify the element symbol, and determine the number of proto

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Element symbol Cu

Number of protons 29

Number of electrons 28

Explanation:

To get the element symbol, we need the name of the element. To correctly identify the name of the element, we need the proton number.

Now the mass number is 65 and the number of neutrons is 36. The number of protons is this the mass number minus the number of neutrons. This equals 65 - 36 = 29 protons.

The element with 29 protons is copper Cu.

Now to get the number of electrons, for an electrically neutral atom , the number of electrons equals the number of protons. But here, the atom is not electrically neutral anymore as it has now formed a univalent positive ion of +1.

To form a positive ion, you have to do so by losing electrons. The atom in question here has just lost one electron. Thus, our of the 29, it is left with only 28 electrons.

Identify each statement as true or false. Explain in every case.a.Ionization energies are always negative quantities.b.Oxygen ha

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) FALSE

(b) FALSE

(d) FALSE

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy needed for removal of a valence electron present in valence shell of a gaseous atom.

(a) The value of ionization energy of an atom is always positive. This is because energy has to be always supplied or provided to a gaseous atom for the removal of the valence electron.

Therefore, the statement (A) is false

(b) The ionization energy of an atom increases across a period i.e. from left to right. This is because the effective nuclear charge that is experienced by the valence electron increases from left to right in the periodic table, as the atomic number increases.

So, more energy is required to remove the valence electron of fluorine as compared to oxygen.

Therefore, the ionization energy of fluorine is greater than oxygen.

Therefore, the statement (B) is false

(c) First ionization energy is energy needed for removal of first electron present in valence shell of a neutral atom. Whereas, second ionization energy is the energy needed for removal of second electron present in valence shell of a monovalent cation

The second ionization energy of an atom is always greater than the first ionization energy. This is because removing an electron from a positively charged species, requires more energy.

Therefore, the statement (C) is true

(d) The third ionization energy refers to the energy needed to remove the third electron from a divalent cation.

Therefore, the statement (D) is false
