Answer:

An atom containing 11 electrons

Explanation:

Metal atoms form ions by a loss of electrons whereas non-metal atoms form ions by the gain of electrons.

The group 1 elements or alkali metals form lose their one valence shell electrons when forming ions; Group 2 metals lose two while Group 3 lose three. On the other hand, non-metal atoms found in Group 5, 6, and 7 forms ions by gaining one, two and three electrons respectively.

Using the electronic configuration of atoms, their groups in the Periodic Table can be determined.

An atom containing 6 electrons has the configuration 2,4 and thus belongs to Group 4.

An atom with 2 electrons belongs to Group 2

An atom with 11 electrons has the configuration 2,8,1 and thus belongs to Group 1

An atom with 10 electrons has the configuration 2,8 and thus belongs to Group 8

An atom with 8 electrons has the configuration 2,6 and thus belongs to Group 6.

From the above, it can be seen that an atom containing 11 electrons belongs to Group 1 and will lose an electron to form an ion.

If 15.0 mL of phosphoric acid completely neutralizes 38.5 mL of 0.150 mol/L calcium hydroxide, what is the concentration of the
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Let me give it a try.

H3PO4 + Ca(OH)2 = Ca3(PO4)2 + H2O

Balancing this reaction

2H3PO4 + 3Ca(OH)2 == Ca3(PO4)2 + 6H2O.

Moles= Molarity x Volume

Volume = 38.5ml = 0.0385L

Moles of Ca hydroxide = 0.150m/L x 0.0385L

(Notice the units canceling out...leaving moles).

=0.005775moles of Ca(OH)2.

From balanced reaction...

3moles of Ca(OH)2 completely reacts with 2moles of H3PO4

0.005775moles of Ca(OH)2 would completely react with....

= 0.005775 x 2/(3)

=0.00385moles of H3PO4.

Now we're looking for its Concentration in Mol/L

Molarity=Moles of solute/Volume of solution(in L)

Volume of solution assuming no other additions to the reaction = 15ml + 38.5ml =53.5ml =0.0535L

Molarity = 0.00385/0.0535

=0.072Mol/L.

If this is wrong

then Simply Try The formula for Mixing of solutions

C1V1 = C2V2

0.15 x 38.5 = C2 x (15+38.5)

C2 = 0.11M/L.

If an object has a mass of 3500 mg what is the mass in kg? Show detailed work
dangina [55]
The answer is 0.0035

In order to figure out kg, you have to know that 1 milligram is equal to 1/100000 kilograms. You take the amount of mg's that you have, which is 3500, and divide it by 1000000 which will give you your answer.

3500/1000000= 0.0035 kg

How many atoms are in 18.016g of Sulfur?
Stella [2.4K]
That means that one mole of sulfur has a mass of 32.065 grams. b) This compound contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. To find the molar mass of H2O, we need to add the mass of two hydrogen atoms plus the mass of one oxygen atom. We get: 2(1.008)+16.00=18.016g/mol.
