7. An element's most stable ion forms an ionic compound with chlorine having the formula XCl2. If the ion of element X has a mas
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,  

XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻

X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element

As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,  

No. of electrons = atomic number - charge

36 = atomic number - 2

Atomic number = 38

Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.  

Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,  

No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

= 89 - 38

= 51 neutrons.

Differences between mixtures and elements
EastWind [94]

Mixtures are a group of elements that are mixed together but not chemically combined

Elements are the fundamental materials of which all matter is composed.

Element: A substance that is made up of only one type of atom. Compound: A substance that is made up of more than one type of atom bonded together. Mixture: A combination of two or more elements or compounds which have not reacted to bond together

Consider the following system at equilibrium where H° = 16.1 kJ, and Kc = 6.50×10-3, at 298 K. 2NOBr(g) 2NO(g) + Br2(g)If the VO
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1) The value of Kc : (C.) remains the same

2) The value of Qc : (A.) is greater than Kc

3) The reaction must : (B.) run in the reverse direction to reestablish equilibrium.

4) The number of moles of Br2 will : (B.) decrease

Explanation:

Value of concentration equilibrium constant Kc depends only on temperature. Since temperature remains constant, therefore, Kc remains constant.  Decrease in volume means increase in pressure. Increase in pressure favors the side with less gaseous species.  Hence, increase in pressure will favor the reverse reaction towards reactants.
