In order to balance out the Electrons, and give it a net charge of 0, you would need 79 Protons.

Explanation:

It is known that for a neutral atom the number of protons present in that atom is equal to the number of electrons present in it.

Also, atomic number means the sum of total number of protons present in an atom.

For example, when a gold atom has net charge 0 then it means it is neutral in nature.

Also, it contains 79 electrons. This also means it contains 79 protons.

Thus, we can conclude that an atom of gold (Au) which has 79 electrons will also contain 79 protons.

Which is the correctly balanced chemical equation for the reaction of KOH and H2SO4? Which is the net ionic equation for the rea

NeX [460]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A balanced chemical reaction equation has the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction equation.

Hence, for the reaction between KOH and H2SO4, the balanced chemical reaction equation is;

H2SO4(aq) + 2KOH(aq) ---------> K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Complete ionic equation;

2H^+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) + 2K^+(aq) +2OH^-(aq) -------> SO4^2-(aq) + 2K^+(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Net ionic equation;

2H^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) -------> 2H2O(l)

Why is it permissible to use a wet bottle when first obtaining your kmno4 solution?

Murrr4er [49]

For the answer to the question above, well presumably because the exact concentration of the composition KMnO4 solution doesn't matter. If the concentration of the KMnO4 solution is important (usually in titrations etc.) then it is not allowed to use a wet bottle. The water in the bottle will dilute the KMnO4 solution and change the concentration of the said compound.

Given the ion C2O4-2, what species would you expect to form with each of the following ions?

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

A. K₂C₂O₄ Potassium oxalate

B. CuC₂O₄ Copper oxalate

C. Bi₂(C₂O₄)₃ Bismuth (III) oxalate

D. Pb(C₂O₄)₂ Lead (IV) oxalate

E. (NH₄)₂C₂O₄ Ammonium oxalate

F. HC₂O₄⁻ Acid oxalate

Explanation:

C₂O₄⁻² → oxalate anion

This is the conjugate base from the H₂C₂O₄ which is the oxalic acid. A weak dyprotic acid that can release 2 protons.

A. 2K⁺ + C₂O₄⁻² → K₂C₂O₄ Potassium oxalate

It can be formed by the neutralization of the acid with the base

H₂C₂O₄ + 2KOH → K₂C₂O₄ + 2H₂O

B. Cu²⁺ + C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ CuC₂O₄ ↓

This is a precipitate.

C. 2Bi³⁺ + 3C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ Bi₂(C₂O₄)₃ ↓

This is a precipitate.

D. Pb⁴⁺ + 2C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ Pb(C₂O₄)₂ ↓

This is a precipitate.

E. 2NH₄⁺ + C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ (NH₄)₂C₂O₄ ↓

This is a precipitate.

F. This is the conjugate strong base, for the weak acid

H⁺ + C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ HC₂O₄⁻

HC₂O₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂O₄⁻² + H₃O⁺ Ka

HC₂O₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₂C₂O₄ + OH⁻ Kb

HC₂O₄⁻ is an amphoteric compound

4NH3+5O2-4NO+6H2O how many moles of NH3 must react to produce 5.0 moles of NO?

tresset_1 [31]

Answer: 5.0 moles

Explanation:

From the equation, we see that for every 4 moles of ammonia consumed, 4 moles of nitrogen monoxide are produced (we can reduce this to moles of ammonia consumed = moles of nitrogen monoxide produced).

This means that the answer is 5.0 mol
