Calcium’s atomic number is 20. it forms ions with 18 electrons. what is the electrical charge of a calcium ion?

1 answer:

6 0

It would be a positive charge because it lost two electrons, if the charge was neutral it would be the same amount of protons and electrons, if the charge was negative the electrons would be 20 instead of 18. So in this case it is positive.

A copper atom has a mass of 1 06 times 10^-22 g and a penny has a mass of 2.5 g. Use this information to answer the questions be

amm1812

Answer:

Mass of 1 mole of copper is 63.83 g.

0.03916 moles of copper atoms have a mass equal to the 2.5 grams of copper penny.

Explanation:

Mass of 1 copper atom,m = $1.06\times 10^{-22} g$

$1 mole = 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms$

Mass of 1 mole of copper :

= $6.022\times 10^{23} atoms\times 1.06\times 10^{-22} g=63.83 g$

Mass of 1 mole of copper = 63.83 g

Mass of copper penny = 2.5 g

Atomic mass of copper = 63.83 g/mol

Moles of copper in 2.5 g of copper penny:

$\frac{2.5 g}{63.83 g/mol}=0.03916 mol$

0.03916 moles of copper atoms have a mass equal to the 2.5 grams of copper penny.

Which equilibrium system has HCO3- acting as a Brønsted-Lowry base?

IrinaVladis [17]

A Brønsted-Lowry base is a base is a proton acceptor.

In the only case where this is done is when HCO3- accepts a proton and becomes H2CO3.

In the other cases, HCO3- is donating a proton which makes it an acid.
