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^-

In the determination of iron in an ore, the ore (mostly Fe2O3) is first dissolved in HCl(aq). A slight excess of Sn2 is added to
katovenus [111]

Answer:

2Fe⁺³ + Sn₂ → 2Fe⁺² + 2Sn⁺²

Explanation:

A redox reaction occurs between a compound that loses electrons and others that gain an electron. The first is being oxidized, and the other is being reduced.

In this situation, in the compound Fe₂O₃, the iron, has an oxidation number equal to +3, so it's Fe⁺³, and it will gain 1 electron to become Fe⁺². Because it was first dissolved in HCl, we must use the ion at the equation. The other compound Sn₂ will be oxidized to Sn⁺², so it will need to lose 2 electrons.

So, it will be necessary 2 Fe⁺³ for this reaction happen:

2Fe⁺³ + Sn₂ → 2Fe⁺² + 2Sn⁺²

Se tiene un litronde solucion de agua con alcohol con una consentracion del 4.5% v/v ¿Cuanto alcohol se tiene en la solución
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

45 mL

Explanation:

Tenemos los siguientes datos:

V = 1 L

C = 4,5% v/v

El porcentaje en volumen (%v/v) expresa el volumen de soluto (alcohol en este caso) que hay cada 100 mL de solución. Si la solución tiene una concentración del 4,5% v/v eso quiere decir que hay 4,5 ml de alcohol cada 100 ml de solución, de acuerdo a lo siguiente:

4,5% v/v alcohol = volumen alcohol/ volumen solución x 100 = 4,5 mL alcohol/100 mL solución= 4,5 mL alcohol/0,1 L alcohol

Por lo tanto, al multiplicar por el volumen total de la solución (1 L), obtenemos la cantidad total de alcohol:

4,5 mL alcohol/0,1 L alcohol x 1 L = 45 mL

Consider the reaction of NO and CO to form N2 and CO2, according to the balanced equation: 2 NO (g) + 2 CO (g) → N2 (g) + 2 CO2
Gekata [30.6K]

The image is not given in the question, it is attached below:

<u>Answer:</u> The excess reactant is NO, the limiting reactant is CO and the products are shown in the image attached below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the given image:

Red spheres represent oxygen atoms, blue spheres represent nitrogen atoms and black spheres represent carbon atoms

The combination of 1 black and 2 red spheres will represent carbon dioxide (CO_2) compound

The combination of 2 blue spheres will represent nitrogen molecule (N_2)

The combination of 1 blue and 1 red sphere will represent nitrogen monoxide (NO) compound

The combination of 1 black and 1 red sphere will represent nitrogen monoxide (NO) compound

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

We are given:

Given moles of NO = 6 moles

Given moles of CO = 4 moles

For the given chemical equation:

2NO(g)+2CO(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2CO_2(g)

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of CO reacts with 2 moles of NO

So, 4 moles of CO will react with = \frac{2}{2}\times 4=4mol of NO

As the given amount of NO is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, CO is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

Hence, the excess reactant is NO, the limiting reactant is CO and the products are shown in the image attached below.
