Answer:

The answer to your question is: last option.

20 protons

20 electrons

25 neutrons

Explanation:

Data

Calcium, atomic number 20

Atomic number indicates the number of protons in an element, so, if Calcium's atomic number is 20, it means that it has 20 protons.

In a neutral element, the number of protons = number of electrons, then

Calcium has 20 electrons.

Only the number of neutrons could change.

According to the previous description, the last option is correct.

In a particular reaction, 53.8 g of liquid silicon tetrachloride is added to 65.0 g of solid magnesium to produce solid magnesiu
kotykmax [81]

Answer: Mg is the excess reactant for the forward reaction.

Explanation: It is a stoichiometry problem and solved with the help of given grams and using balanced equation. Grams of both the reactants are converted to moles and divided by their coefficients. The excess reactant is the one for which we get the highest number on doing above steps.

The balanced equation is:

SiCl_4(l)+2Mg(s)\rightarrow 2MgCl_2(s)+Si(s)

Molar mass of silicon tetra chloride is 169.9 gram per mol and the molar mass of Mg is 24.3 gram per mol.

53.8gSiCl_4(\frac{1mol}{169.9g})

= 0.317molSiCl_4

65.0gMg(\frac{1mol}{24.3g})

= 2.67 mol Mg

From balanced equation, the coefficient of silicon tetra chloride is 1 and that of Mg is 2. So, we will divide the moles of silicon tetra chloride by 1 and that of Mg by 2 and see which one gives highest number.

For silicon tetra chloride, \frac{0.317}{1}  = 0.317

and for Mg, \frac{2.67}{2}  = 1.34

The highest number is for Mg and so the excess reactant for the forward reaction is Mg.

Carbon disulfide is formed by the reaction of coke (carbon) with sulfur dioxide. how many moles of cs2 will be generated if 8.0
trapecia [35]
<span>The equation that produces carbon disulfide from the reaction of coke and sufur dioxide is expressed in the balanced equation: c+ 2sO2 = CS2 + 2O2. For every mole of coke reacted, there is one mole of carbon disulfide produced. Hence the answer here is 8 moles of CS2 </span>

Which of the following gives the definition of ion-dipole attraction? Select the correct answer below: O a. lon-dipole attractio
frez [133]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Anions are attracted to the positive end of a dipole, while the cations are attracted to the negative end. As the size of the dipole moment or the ionic charge increases, the vastness of the attraction also increases. This type of attraction is important for solutions of ionic substances in polar liquids.
