How do Atoms become Ions? Answer in 3 to 4sentences

1 answer:

3 0

An atom is when the protons and electrons are equal protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge so when they are equal they cancel each other out meaning they have no charge or they are an atom. An ion happens when the protons and electrons aren’t equal, it’s no longer an atom. When you have more protons then electrons you have a positive charged ion. When you have more electrons then protons you have a negative charged ion.

Question 7 to 12 are given in attached file because character limit is only 5000

Explanation:

1. A 15.0 gram sample of a compound is found to contain 8.83 grams of sodium and 6.17 grams of sulfur. Calculate the empirical formula of this compound.

Given data:

Mass of sample = 15 g

Mass of sodium = 8.83 g

Mass of sulfur = 6.17 g

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Na = 8.83 / 23 = 0.4

Number of gram atoms of S = 6.17 / 32 = 0.2

Atomic ratio:

Na : S

0.4/0.2 : 0.2/0.2

2 : 1

Na : S = 2 : 1

Empirical formula is Na₂S.

2. Analysis of a 10.150 gram sample of a compound known to contain only phosphorus and oxygen indicates a phosphorus content of 4.433 grams. What is the empirical formula of this compound?

Given data:

Mass of phosphorus = 4.433 g

Mass of oxygen = 10.150 g - 4.433 g = 5.717 g

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of P = 4.433 / 30.9738 = 0.1431

Number of gram atoms of O = 5.717/ 15.999 = 0.3573

Atomic ratio:

P : O

0.1431/0.1431 : 0.3573/0.1431

1 : 2.5

P : O = 2(1 : 2.5)

Empirical formula is P₂O₅.

3. A compound is found to contain 36.48%Na, 25.41% S, and 38.11% O. Find its empirical formula.

Given data:

Percentage of sodium = 36.48%

Percentage of sulfur = 25.41%

Percentage of oxygen = 38.11%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Na = 36.48 / 23 = 1.6

Number of gram atoms of S = 25.41/ 32 = 0.8

Number of gram atoms of O = 38.11/ 16 = 2.4

Atomic ratio:

Na : S : O

1.6/0.8 : 0.8/0.8 : 2.4/0.8

2 : 1 : 3

Na: S : O = 2 : 1 : 3

Empirical formula is Na₂SO₃.

4. A compound is found to contain 63.52% iron and 36.48% sulfur. Find its empirical formula.

Given data:

Percentage of iron = 63.52%

Percentage of sulfur = 36.48%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Fe = 63.52 / 55.845 = 1.14

Number of gram atoms of S = 36.48 / 32 = 1.14

Atomic ratio:

Fe : S

1.14/1.14 : 1.14/1.14

1 : 1

Fe : S = 1 : 1

Empirical formula is FeS.

5. Qualitative analysis shows that a compound contains 32.38%sodium, 22.65% sulfur and 44.99 % oxygen. Find the empirical formula of this compound.

Given data:

Percentage of sodium = 32.38%

Percentage of sulfur = 22.65%

Percentage of oxygen = 44.99%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Na = 32.38 / 23 = 1.4

Number of gram atoms of S = 22.65/ 32 = 0.7

Number of gram atoms of O = 44.99/ 16 = 2.8

Atomic ratio:

Na : S : O

1.4/0.7 : 0.7/0.7 : 2.8/0.7

2 : 1 : 4

Na: S : O = 2 : 1 : 4

Empirical formula is Na₂SO₄.

6. Analysis of a 20.0 gram sample of a compound containing only calcium and bromine indicates that 4.00 grams of calcium are present. What is the empirical formula of the compound formed?

Given data:

Mass of sample = 20g

Mass of bromine = 20 g - 4 g = 16 g

Mass of calcium = 4 g

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of bromine = 16 / 80= 0.2

Number of gram atoms of calcium = 4/ 40= 0.1

Atomic ratio:

Ca : Br

0.1/0.1 : 0.2/0.1

1 : 2

Ca: Br = 1 : 2

Empirical formula is CaBr₂.
