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.

Answer:

The correct answer is - 14.

Explanation:

In the given molecular formula of the aluminum sulphite which is Al2(SO3)3, this molecular formula there different type of elements are bonded together to form this compound each element has a specific number of atoms present. This compound has three elements that are aluminum, sulfur, and oxygen and the atoms are present are:

Al = 2 atoms represented by subscript

S = 3 atoms represented as whole subscripts of sulfite

O = 9 atoms 3 inside bracket and 3 outside of bracket that multiplies.

Thus, total number of atoms are 2+3+9 = 14

Calculate the ph of a 0.60 m h2so3, solution that has the stepwise dissociation constants ka1 = 1.5 × 10-2 and 1.82 1.06 1.02 2.
Vsevolod [243]
Missing in your question Ka2 =6.3x10^-8
From this reaction:
 H2SO3 + H2O ↔ H3O+  + HSO3-
by using the ICE table :
                H2SO3     ↔    H3O     +    HSO3- 
intial         0.6                     0                  0
change     -X                      +X                +X
Equ         (0.6-X)                  X                   X

when Ka1 = [H3O+][HSO3-]/[H2SO3]
So by substitution:
1.5X10^-2 = (X*X) / (0.6-X) by solving this equation for X
∴ X = 0.088
∴[H2SO3] = 0.6 - 0.088 = 0.512
[HSO3-] = [H3O+] = 0.088

by using the ICE table 2:
                 HSO3-     ↔   H3O     +     SO3-
initial        0.088              0.088              0
change    -X                      +X                   +X
Equ         (0.088-X)          (0.088+X)          X

Ka2= [H3O+] [SO3-] / [HSO3-]
we can assume [HSO3-] =  0.088 as the value of Ka2 is very small
 6.3x10^-8 = (0.088+X)*X / 0.088
X^2 +0.088 X - 5.5x10^-9= 0 by solving this equation for X
∴X= 6.3x10^-8
∴[H3O+] = 0.088 + 6.3x10^-8
               = 0.088 m ( because X is so small)
∴PH= -㏒[H3O+]
       = -㏒ 0.088 = 1.06

Which of these elements is this group?
sergey [27]

Answer:

Strontium

Explanation:

In the periodic table, an element with two (2) valence electrons is found on group 2. Group 2 is a group of the periodic table that harbors element called ALKALINE EARTH METALS. As the name implies, they are metals that possess shiny and solid characteristics at room temperature.

Group 2 elements include the following: Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra). Based on the descriptive information in this question, the element being described is a GROUP 2 element. Based on the elements in the option, only STRONTIUM (Sr) is a group 2 element.

nlexa [21]

In the reaction of silver nitrate with copper metal, metallic silver comes out of solution, and the solution turns blue. This as a <u>single replacement</u> reaction.

<h3>What is single replacement reaction?</h3>

A single replacement reaction, also known as a single displacement reaction, occurs when one element in a molecule is swapped out for another. The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound.

A + BC → B + AC

When A is more reactive than B or when the product AC is more stable than BC, single replacement reactions happen. A and B could either be two halogens or two metals (with hydrogen included) (C is a cation). C functions as a spectator ion when BC and AC are in aqueous solutions.

For example, 2HCl(aq)+Zn(s)→ZnCl₂(aq)+H₂(g)
