19 pts - How do you determine if something is isoelectronic?

Chemistry

Isoelectronic means equal number of electrons.

The method to determine if elements are sioelectronic is:

1) Determine the atomic number of the element (search the element in the periodic table).

2) The atomic number is equal to the number of protons (always, by definition).

3) If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

3) If the species is not neutral then:

     - if it is a negative ion, add as many electrons as the magnitude of the charge of the ion

    - if iit is a positive ion, subtract as many electrons as the magnitude of the charge of the ion.

4) One by one

species          atomic number              charge          number of electrons
                      number of protons

O₂,                    8                                     0                 8 (each atom)
F-                     9                                      -1               9 + 1 = 10    
Ne                  10                                      0                10
Na                  11                                       0               11

So, in that group only F- and Ne are isoelectronic, each with 10 electrons

Se2-               34                                      -2                34 + 2 = 36
Br-                  35                                      -1                35 + 1 = 36
Kr                   36                                       0                36
Rb+                37                                      +1               37 - 1 = 36

So, in that group all are isoelectronic.
   
I-                     53                                     -1                 53 + 1 = 54
Xe                   54                                     0                  54
Cs                   55                                     0                  55  
Ba2+               56                                    +2                 55 - 2 = 53

So, in that group only I- and Xe are isoelectronic.

What does conserving mass mean in a chemical equation?
lubasha [3.4K]
The law of conservation of mass states that mass or matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or recombined.
For chemical equations, this law means that each element must be accounted for equally both for reactants and products. So the same numbers of each atom must match on each side, hence the necessity for balancing the chemical equation accurately. This created a field of chemistry called Stoichiometry, which accounts for the conservation of matter throughout chemical reactions and processes.

.950 L of .420 M H2SO4 is mixed with .900 L of .260 M KOH. What concentration of sulfuric acid remains after neutralization?
kipiarov [429]
H₂SO₄:

V=0,95L
Cm=0,420mol/L

n = CmV = 0,42mol/L * 0,95L = 0,399mol

KOH:

V=0,9L
Cm=0,26mol/L

n = CmV = 0,26mol/L * 0,9L = 0,234mol

H₂SO₄            +           2KOH ⇒ K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
1mol                :           2mol
0,399mol         :           0,234mol
                                    limiting reagent
reamins: 0,399mol - 0,117mol = 0,282mol

n = 0,282mol
V = 0,950L + 0,900L = 1,85L

Cm = n / V = 0,282mol / 1,85L ≈ 0,152M

The density of solid Cr is 7.15 g/cm3. How many atoms are present per cubic centimeter of Cr?
Masja [62]
To calculate the number of atoms of Cr, we first find the number of moles per unit of cubic centimeter of Cr. Then, use avogadros number for the number of atoms. Calculations are as follows:

1 cm^3 (7.15 g/cm^3) (1 mol / 51.996 g Cr) = 0.14 mol Cr

0.14 mol Cr ( 6.022 x 10^23 atoms Cr / 1 mol Cr ) = 8.28 x 10^22 atoms Cr

Iron 3 oxide and carbon react to form iron and carbon dioxide. Balance the equation.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + 3 C ==> 2 Fe  + 3 CO2

Explanation:

First of all, you have to translate the words into an equation.

Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> Fe  + CO2

The easiest way to tackle this is to start with the Oxygens and balance them. They must balance by going to the greatest common factor which is 6. So you multiply the molecule by whatever it takes to get the Oxygens to 6

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + C   ==>     Fe  + 3 CO2

Now work on the irons. There 2 on the left and just 1 on the right. So you need to multiply the iron by 2.

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> 2 Fe  + 3 CO2

Finally it is the turn of the carbons. There are 3 on the right, so you must make the carbon on the left = 3

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + 3 C ==> 2 Fe  + 3 CO2

And you are done.
