Answer:

Cation

Explanation:

Since the protons are greater than electrons, this means the atom has a net positive charge on it and is now called a cation.

As there are 4 protons, this means that the outermost shell has 2 valence electrons 2s1, 2s2 and this is Group 2 element. Looking at Periodic table, we find that this is beryllium 4Be5 and is denoted as Be^2+

A saturated solution of Pb(IO3)2 in pure water has a lead ion concentration of 5.0 x 10-5 Molar. What is the Ksp value of Pb(IO3

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Option (E) is correct

Explanation:

Solubility equilibrium of $Pb(IO_{3})_{2}$ is given as follows-

$Pb(IO_{3})_{2}\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}+2IO_{3}^{-}$

Hence, if solubility of $Pb(IO_{3})_{2}$ is S (M) then-

$[Pb^{2+}]=S(M)$ and $[IO_{3}^{-}]=2S(M)$

Where species under third bracket represent equilibrium concentrations

So, solubility product of $Pb(IO_{3})_{2}$ , $K_{sp}=[Pb^{2+}][IO_{3}^{-}]^{2}$

Here, $[Pb^{2+}]=S(M)=5.0\times 10^{-5}M$

So, $[IO_{3}^{-}]=2S(M)=(2\times 5.0\times 10^{-5})M=1.0\times 10^{-4}M$

So, $K_{sp}=(5.0\times 10^{-5})\times (1.0\times 10^{-4})^{2}=5.0\times 10^{-13}$

Hence option (E) is correct

If you run the reaction to make water: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, starting with 3.0 moles of hydrogen gas and 2.0 moles of oxygen gas, wha

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

54 g is the theoretical yield

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

So 2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mol of oxygen, to produce 2 mol of water.

If I have 3 moles of H₂ and 2 moles of O₂, the my limiting reactant is the hydrogen.

1 mol of O₂ react with 2 moles of H₂

S 2 mol of O₂ would react with 4 moles (I only have 3 moles)

Then, ratio is 2:2 the same as 1:1

As 2 mol of H₂ produce 2 moles of water, 3 moles of H₂ will produce 3 moles of H₂O.

This is the theoretical yield in moles. Let's convert them to mass (mol . molar mass)

3 mol . 18g/m = 54 g

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts with oxygen. What is the limiting reactant in this experiment?

Mg + O2 → MgO (unbalanced)

first, balance the equation

2Mg +O2-------> 2MgO

two magnesium atoms react with one diatomic oxygen molecule

there is a 1:1 ratio of magnesium to oxygen atoms

but we have 2 moles of magnesium atoms and 2X5 = 10 moles of oxygen atoms

the lesser magnesium LIMITS the amount of product we can make, so it is the LIMITING REAGENT.
