Answer:

20 protons.

Explanation:

20 protons = 20 + charges

18 electrons = 18- charges.

The difference = 20 - 18 = +2

The charge for this ion is plus 2

It is a calcium ion. The element is number 20 on the periodic table.

Answer:

negative

Explanation:

Well, from what I know. The element has 18 electrons so a configuration of 2;8;8 definitely. And this falls on the element Argon which is a non metal and so negatively charged.

Answer:3Li+YbCl3=Yb +3LiCl

Explanation:as there are three cl in the first one so to balance them we will put 3before LiCl in order to make Cl balanced now there are 3 Li also so put before Li 3 making it also balanced Yb is balanced already

What is the stoichiometric coefficient for oxygen when the following equation is balanced using the lowest whole-number coeffici

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Option (B) 7

Explanation:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

To know the coefficient of O2 in the above equation, let us balance the equation.

The above equation can be balance as follow:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

There are 3 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + H2O(l)

There are 6 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of H2O as shown below:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

There are a total of 4 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 9 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 7/2 in front of O2 as show below:

C3H6O2(l) + 7/2O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

Multiply through by 2

2C3H6O2(l) + 7O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)

Now, the equation is balanced.

From the balanced equation above, the coefficient of O2 is 7.

What is the theoretical yield if 35.5g of Al reacts 39.0g of Cl2

atroni [7]

Answer : The correct answer for the Theoretical Yield is 48.93 g of product .

Theoretical yield : It is amount of product produced by limiting reagent . It is smallest product yield of product formed .

Following are the steps to find theoretical yield .

Step 1) : Write a balanced reaction between Al and Cl₂ .

2 Al + 3 Cl₂→ 2 AlCl₃

Step 2: To find amount of product (AlCl₃) formed by Al .

Following are the sub steps to calculate amount of AlCl₃ formed :

a) To calculate mole of Al :

Given : Mass of Al = 35.5 g

Mole can be calculate by following formula :

$Mole = \frac{given mass (g)}{atomic mass \frac{g}{mol}}$

$Mole = \frac{35.5 g }{26.9 \frac{g}{mol}}$

Mole = 1.32 mol

b) To find mole ratio of AlCl₃ : Al

Mole ratio is calculated from balanced reaction .

Mole of Al in balanced reaction = 2

Mole of AlCl₃ in balanced reaction = 2.

Hence mole ratio of AlC; l₃ : Al = 2:2

c) To find mole of AlCl₃ formed :

$Mole of AlCl_3 = Mole of Al * Mole ratio$

$Mole of AlCl_3 = 1.32 mol of Al * \frac{2}{2}$

Mole of AlCl₃ = 1.32 mol

d) To find mass of AlCl₃

Molar mass of AlCl₃ = $133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of AlCl3 can be calculated using mole formula as:

$1.32 mol of AlCl_3 = \frac{ mass (g)}{133.34 \frac{g}{mol}}$

Multiplying both side by $133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

$1.32 mole * 133.34\frac{g}{mol} = \frac{mass (g)}{133.34\frac{g}{mol}} *133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of AlCl₃ = 176.00 g

Hence mass of AlCl₃ produced by Al is 176.00 g

Step 3) To find mass of product (AlCl₃) formed by Cl₂ :

Same steps will be followed to calculate mass of AlCl₃

a) Find mole of Cl₂

$Mole of Cl_2 = \frac{39.0 g}{70.9\frac{g}{mol}}$

Mole of Cl₂ = 0.55 mol

b) Mole ratio of Cl₂ : AlCl₃

Mole of Cl₂ in balanced reaction = 3

Mole of AlCl₃ in balanced reaction = 2

Hence mole ratio of AlCl₃ : Cl₂ = 2 : 3

c) To find mole of AlCl₃

$Mole of AlCl_3 = mole of Cl_2 * mole ratio$

$Mole of AlCl_3 = 0.55 mole * \frac{2}{3}$

Mole of AlCl3 = 0.367 mol

d) To find mass of AlCl₃ :

$0.367 mol of AlCl_3 = \frac{mass (g) }{133.34 \frac{g}{mol}}$

Multiplying both side by

$133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

$0.367 mol of AlCl_3 * 133.34 \frac{g}{mol} = \frac{mass(g)}{133.34\frac{g}{mol}} * 133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of AlCl₃ = 48.93 g

Hence mass of AlCl₃ produced by Cl₂ = 48.93 g

Step 4) To identify limiting reagent and theoretical yield :

Limiting reagent is the reactant which is totally consumed when the reaction is complete . It is identified as the reactant which produces least yield or theoretical yield of product .

The product AlCl₃ formed by Al = 176.00 g

The product AlCl₃ formed by Cl₂ = 48.93 g

Since Cl₂ is producing less amount of product hence it is limiting reagent and 48.93 g will be considered as Theoretical yield .
