A Se ion has a mass number of 76 and a charge of − 2 . Determine the number of neutrons, protons, and electrons in this ion.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ostrovityanka [42]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Neutron = 42

Proton = 34

Electron = 36

Explanation:

The atomic number (also known as the proton number) of an element does not change even if the element gain or loss electrons.

With this understanding,

Se has atomic number(proton number) = 34

From question,

Mass number of Se ion = 76

Charge = - 2

Neutron number = Mass number - proton number

Neutron number = 76 - 34 = 42

Since Se ion has a charge of 2-, it means it has gain electrons

Therefore the electron number = 34 + 2 = 36

2. A sample of neon gas has a volume of 87.6 L at STP. How many moles are present?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

                      3.91 moles of Neon

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's Law, same volume of any gas at standard temperature (273.15 K or O °C) and pressure (1 atm) will occupy same volume. And one mole of any Ideal gas occupies 22.4 dm³ (1 dm³ = 1 L).

Data Given:

                 n = moles = <u>???</u>

                 V = Volume = 87.6 L

Solution:

               As 22.4 L volume is occupied by one mole of gas then the 16.8 L of this gas will contain....

                          = ( 1 mole × 87.6 L) ÷ 22.4 L

                          = 3.91 moles

<h3>2nd Method:</h3>

                     Assuming that the gas is acting ideally, hence, applying ideal gas equation.

                              P V  =  n R T      ∴  R  =  0.08205 L⋅atm⋅K⁻¹⋅mol⁻¹

Solving for n,

                              n  =  P V / R T

Putting values,

                              n  =  (1 atm × 87.6 L)/(0.08205 L⋅atm⋅K⁻¹⋅mol⁻¹ × 273.15K)

                              n  =  3.91 moles

Result:

          87.6 L of Neon gas will contain 3.91 moles at standard temperature and pressure.

How can the rate constant be determined from the rate law?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

B. The rate constant is the reaction rate divided by the concentration

terms.

Explanation:

The rate constant can be determined from the rate law because it is the reaction rate divided by the concentration terms. I hope I could help! :)

Which statements are true concerning elements in the same group of the periodic table? Select all that apply.
Tatiana [17]

The statements A and F are true concerning elements in the same group of the periodic table.  

To select all that apply, we need to evaluate each statement.

A. They have similar periodic properties.  

This statement is true. All the elements in the same group will have similar chemical and physical properties due to the electron configuration of their outer shell. For example, the alkali metals group (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr), has a valence electron configuration of s¹ (in the outer shell), which gives them the tendency to react vigorously with water, as well as other properties.      

B. They are all metals or nonmetals, but not both.

This is false. If we take a look at the p-block of the periodic table, we can see that the <u>groups</u> in this block are conformed by nonmetals, metals, and metalloids. For example, the icosagens group is formed by metalloids (B) and metals (Al, Ga, In, Tl).          

 

C. They are either all solids or all liquids or all gases.

This is false. In some groups, all the elements are solids (alkaline earth metals) or gases (group of noble gases), but in others, the groups are conformed by gases with solids (pnictogens group) or by gases with liquids (halogens group).  

   

D. They have the same number of shells of electrons.

This is false. In a group, the number of shells <u>increases from top to bottom</u> in the periodic table. For example, the electron configuration of the elements in the alkali metals is:        

  • H: 1s¹      
  • Li: [He]2s¹
  • Na: [Ne]3s¹
  • K: [Ar]4s¹
  • Rb: [Kr]5s¹
  • Cs:  [Xe]6s¹
  • Fr: [Rn]7s¹

We can see that hydrogen has 1 shell and Cs has 6 shells.  

E. They have the same number of inner core electrons.

This is false. As we said at point D, the number of shells increases from top to bottom in a group, so the number of inner core electrons also increases in this order. For example, in the alkaline earth metals group, the electron configuration of the elements is:  

  • Be: [He]2s²
  • Mg: [Ne]3s²
  • Ca: [Ar]4s²
  • Sr: [Kr]5s²
  • Ba: [Xe]6s²
  • Ra: [Rn]7s²

As we can see, the number of inner shells increases from Be ([He]) to Ra ([Rn]).    

F. They have the same outer shell electron configuration.

This is true. As we said at point A, the elements in the same group will have the same electron configuration of the outer shell (valence electron configuration). At points D and E, we can see that the valence electron configuration is the same for all the elements in the groups.    

Therefore, statements A and F are true.

The solubility of copper chloride at 20 °C is 73 g/100 g of water. Kiera adds 100 g of copper chloride to 100 g of water and sti
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

m_{undissolved}=27g

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information of the solubility of copper chloride, as the maximum amount of this salt one can dissolve without having a precipitate, we infer that since just 73 grams are actually dissolved, the following amount will remain solid as a precipitate:

m_{undissolved}=100g-73g\\\\m_{undissolved}=27g

Best regards!
