An ion with six protons, seven neutrons, and a charge of 2+ has an atomic number of ________.

1 answer:

3 0

There are some standard numbers that help us describe the structure of an atom and help us categorize them. Those are the atomic number, the mass number and the numbers of electrons in an atom (or ion). Atoms are electrically neutral, hence they have the same number of protons as electrons. If an atom has a charge and has thus become an ion, it is because electrons joined it or left. For example in this case, since the ion has +2 charge, 2 electrons left it and thus the ion has 4 electrons (2 electrons less than its protons). The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons of an atom (that are in the nucleus). In this case, this yields a mass number of 13 for this ion. The atomic number of an atom (or ion) is the total number of protons in the nucleus. Protons do not leave the nucleus except for radioactive reactions and thus the atomic number of an atom (or ion) does not change in chemical reactions. In this case, the ion has an atomic number of 6.

Alkanes do not have geometric isomers because the carbon atoms in their carbon-carbon bonds are _____.

Mariana [72]

The word that best fits the underlined in the sentence is "free-to-rotate." The carbon atoms in their carbon bonds are free to rotate since alkanes do not have geometric isomers. They only have single bonds and the most common example of which are trans molecules.

Solid iron (III) oxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form iron and water. How many grams of iron are produced when 440.23 grams of

Nookie1986 [14]

When 440.23 grams of iron(III) oxide are reacted with hydrogen gas, the amount of iron produced will be 307.66 grams

<h3>Stoichiometric calculation</h3>

From the equation of the reaction:

$Fe_2O_3 + 3H_2 --- > 2Fe + 3H_2O$

The mole ratio of iron(III) oxide to produced iron is 1:2.

Mole of 440.23 iron(III) oxide = 440.23/159.69 = 2.76 moles

Equivalent mole of produced iron = 2.76 x 2 = 5.52 moles

Mass of 5.52 moles of iron = 5.52 x 55.8 = 307.66 grams

How many molecules are in 3.50 moles of H2O<br>

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

2.11 x 10²⁴ molecules.

Explanation:

<em>It is known that every 1.0 mole of a molecule contains Avogadro's number of molecules (NA = 6.022 x 10²³).</em>

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1.0 mole of H₂O contains → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.

3.5 mole of H₂O contains → ??? molecules.

∴ 3.5 mole of H₂O contain = (3.5 mol)(6.022 x 10²³) = 2.11 x 10²⁴ molecules.

In the reaction of silver nitrate with copper metal, metallic silver comes out of solution, and the solution turns blue. This as a <u>single replacement</u> reaction.

<h3>What is single replacement reaction?</h3>

A single replacement reaction, also known as a single displacement reaction, occurs when one element in a molecule is swapped out for another. The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound.

A + BC → B + AC

When A is more reactive than B or when the product AC is more stable than BC, single replacement reactions happen. A and B could either be two halogens or two metals (with hydrogen included) (C is a cation). C functions as a spectator ion when BC and AC are in aqueous solutions.

For example, 2HCl(aq)+Zn(s)→ZnCl₂(aq)+H₂(g)
