Answer:

The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,  

XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻

X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element

As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,  

No. of electrons = atomic number - charge

36 = atomic number - 2

Atomic number = 38

Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.  

Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,  

No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

= 89 - 38

= 51 neutrons.

If a sample of gas is at 672 °C and 3.9 atm, what is the new temperature at 12.2 atm?
Snowcat [4.5K]
In order to calculate the final temperature of the gas, we may apply Charles's law, which states that the pressure and temperature of a fixed amount of gas at constant volume are directly proportional. Mathematically:
P/T = constant
(absolute temperature is used, so T = 672 + 273 = 945 K)
Thus,
3.9 / 945 = 12.2 / T
T = 2,956 K or 2,683 °C

Write a balanced net ionic equation for the following reaction: SrCl2(aq) + H2CO3(aq) → SrCO3(s) + HCl (aq)
max2010maxim [7]
  We will balance the equation in the following order: metals, amethals, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (the most common order).
  The metal present in the equation is Sr, which is already balanced (there are 1 on each side of the equation).
  The amethal present in the equation is Cl. There is 2 Cl in the left side and only one in the right side. So, we will multiply the quantity of the molecule that contains Cl by 2. Doing this, we'll obtain:

SrCl_2_{(aq)}+H_2CO_3_{(aq)}\to SrCO_3_{(s)}+2HCl_{(aq)}
 
  Looking at the equation, we can see that it is now fully balanced. Hence, a balanced equation of the reaction is:

SrCl_2_{(aq)}+H_2CO_3_{(aq)}\to SrCO_3_{(s)}+2HCl_{(aq)}

For the following example, list the given and unknown information (including gratis or moles)
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

9.6 moles O2

Explanation:

I'll assume it is 345 grams, not gratis, of water.  Hydrogen's molar mass is 1.01, not 101.

The molar mass of water is 18.0 grams/mole.

Therefore:  (345g)/(18.0 g/mole) = 19.17 or 19.2 moles water (3 sig figs).

The balanced equation states that:  2H20 ⇒ 2H2 +02

It promises that we'll get 1 mole of oxygen for every 2 moles of H2O, a molar ratio of 1/2.

get (1 mole O2/2 moles H2O)*(19.2 moles H2O) or 9.6 moles O2
