I don’t know what the “cheater” way is, however you can easily judge how many valence electrons an element has by looking at its group number on the periodic table.

Bonding in chemistry is completely and totally due to electrons. Every element wants 8 electrons in its outer shell in order to be stable. This is what we call the “Octet Rule”.

What is the pH of a solution made by mixing 200 mL of 0.025M HCl and 150 mL of 0.050 M HCl?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The answer to your question is pH = 1.45  

Explanation:

Data

pH = ?

Volume 1 = 200 ml

[HCl] 1 = 0.025 M

Volume 2 = 150 ml

[HCl] 2 = 0.050 M

Process

1.- Calculate the number of moles of each solution

Solution 1

                Molarity = moles / volume

-Solve for moles

                moles = 0.025 x 0.2

result

               moles = 0.005

Solution 2

               moles = 0.050 x 0.15

-result

                moles = 0.0075

2.- Sum up the number of moles

Total moles = 0.005 + 0.0075

                   = 0.0125

3.- Sum up the volume

total volume = 200 + 150

                     350 ml or 0.35 l

4.- Calculate the final concentration

Molarity = 0.0125 / 0.35

              = 0.0357

5.- Calculate the pH

pH = -log [H⁺]

-Substitution

pH = -log[0.0357]

-Result

pH = 1.45

What is the charge of an atom's nucleus of an atom has 20 protons, 23 neutrons, and 18 electrons?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

It would have a charge of +2.

Explanation:

A proton has a charge of +1, an elctron has a charge of -1, and a neutron has a charge of 0. Ignore the neurons since they have a charge of 0. Since there are 20 protons and 18 electrons (20-18), the overall charge of the atom is +2.
