What is the correct symbol of an ion containing 17 protons,20 neutrons and 18 electrons

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nataliya [291]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The symbol of the ion is A^-

Explanation:

Let A be the symbol of the element.

Proton = 17

Electron = 18

Neutron = 20

Since the element has more electrons than protons, it means it has gain electrons.

From the question given,

The difference between the electron and proton = 18 — 17 = 1

So, the element has gain 1 electron.

Therefore the symbol of the ion is A^-

According to VSEPR theory , in which fashion will the bonds and lone pairs of electrons be arranged about the central atom in th
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal.

Explanation:

The VSPER theory states that the bonds of sharing electrons and the lone pairs of electrons will repulse as much as possible. So, by the repulsion, the molecule will have some shape.

In the ion PO₄³⁻, the central atom P has 5 electrons in its valence shell, so it needs 3 electrons to be stable. Oxygen has 6 electrons at the valence shell and needs 2 to be stable. 3 oxygens share 1 pair of electrons with P, and the two lone pair remaining in P is shared with the other O, then the central atom makes 4 bonds and has no lone pairs, the shape is tetrahedral.

In the ion H₃O⁺, the central atom O has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 electrons to be stable. The hydrogen has 1 electron, and need 1 more to be stable. The hydrogens share 1 pair of electrons with the oxygen, then it remains 3 electrons at the central atom, and the VSPER theory states that the shape will be a trigonal pyramidal.

In the AsF₅, the central atom As has 5 valence electrons, and F has 1 electron in its valence shell, so each F shares one pair of electrons with As, and there are no lone pairs in the central atom. For 5 bonds without lone pairs, the shape is trigonal bipyramidal.

A sample of gas is observed to effuse through a pourous barrier in 4.98 minutes. Under the same conditions, the same number of m
kogti [31]

Answer:

The molar mass of the unknown gas is \mathbf{ 51.865 \  g/mol}

Explanation:

Let assume that  the gas is  O2 gas

O2 gas is to effuse through a porous barrier in time t₁ = 4.98 minutes.

Under the same conditions;

the same number of moles of an unknown gas requires  time t₂  =  6.34 minutes to effuse through the same barrier.

From Graham's Law of Diffusion;

Graham's Law of Diffusion states that, at a constant temperature and pressure; the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.

i.e

R \  \alpha  \ \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{d}}

R = \dfrac{k}{d}  where K = constant

If we compare the rate o diffusion of two gases;

\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}}

Since the density of a gas d is proportional to its relative molecular mass M. Then;

\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1}}

Rate is the reciprocal of time ; i.e

R = \dfrac{1}{t}

Thus; replacing the value of R into the above previous equation;we have:

\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}={\dfrac{t_2}{t_1}}

We can equally say:

{\dfrac{t_2}{t_1}}=  {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1}}

{\dfrac{6.34}{4.98}}=  {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{32}}

M_2 = 32 \times ( \dfrac{6.34}{4.98})^2

M_2 = 32 \times ( 1.273092369)^2

M_2 = 32 \times 1.62076418

\mathbf{M_2 = 51.865 \  g/mol}

Write the balanced chemical equation for the reverse reaction. include physical states for all species.
Ann [662]
This is a missing part of your question:
The equilibrium system between sulfur dioxide gas, oxygen gas, and sulfur trioxide gas is given.
So you need the equilibrium balanced equation of SO2, O2, SO3 reaction:
First, we will start with the original equation which is not balanced yet (to understand how we get it):
SO2 + O2 ↔ SO3 
Here the number of O atom is not equal at the to sides
So we will start to balance our equation by make the number of O atom equal each other on both sides:
So we will start to put 2SO3 instead of SO3 
and put 2SO2 instead of SO2 to balance also the S atom on both sides
So we will get this:
2SO2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2SO3(g) (This is our equilibrium balanced equation)
know we have a number of O atom equals on each side = 6
and the sulfur equals on each side = 2
