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

Answer:

0.095M

Explanation:

HClO4 + NaOH = NaClO4 + H2O

Concentration of acid CA= 0.170M

Concentration of base CB= ???

Volume of base VB= 28.5ml

Volume of acid VA= 16.0ml

Number of moles of acid nA= 1

Number of moles of base nB= 1

From

CAVA/CBVB= nA/nB

CB= CAVAnB/VBnA

CB= 0.170×16.0×1/28.5×1

CB= 0.095M

6. Which specific processes in the rock cycle occur beneath the Earth's surface?

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Under the earth's surface, rocks melt, metamorphize, and crystalize.

Explanation:

Metamorphic and Igneous rocks are basically dependant on the heat/pressure of the environment under the surface :) Melting, metamorphosing and crystallization all occur under earth's surface.

Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is a powerful reducing agent which is used as a polymerization catalyst. It contains 5.80 mass % H,

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $H_{4}O_1N_1Cl_1=H_4NOCl$

Explanation:

We are given:

Percentage of H = 5.80 %

Percentage of O = 23.02 %

Percentage of N = 20.16 %

Percentage of Cl = 51.02 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of H = 5.80 g

Mass of O = 23.02 g

Mass of N = 20.16 g

Mass of Cl = 51.02 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{5.80g}{1g/mole}=5.80moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{23.02g}{16g/mole}=1.44moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{20.16g}{14g/mole}=1.44moles$

Moles of Chlorine = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Chlorine}}{\text{Molar mass of Chlorine}}=\frac{51.02g}{35.5g/mole}=1.44moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 1.44 moles.

For Hydrogen = $\frac{5.80}{1.44}=4.03\approx 4$

For Oxygen = $\frac{1.44}{1.44}=1$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{1.44}{1.44}=1$

For Chlorine = $\frac{1.44}{1.44}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of H : O : N : Cl = 4 : 1 : 1 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $H_{4}O_1N_1Cl_1=H_4NOCl$
