How many electrons does an atom have

Chemistry

In this question, the most probable answer that you would get would be that it depends. It depends on what kind of element are we talking about here. What is important to remember about these is that the number of electrons must always be equal to the number of protons. To get the numbers of electrons and protons of a certain element, just locate the atomic number of the said element. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number and the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons which is equal to the atomic number. If neutrons were to be added in the picture, just take the atomic weight of the element then round it off to the nearest whole number to get its mass number. Subtract the number of protons to the mass number and the difference would be the number of neutrons.

Phosgene, a poisonous gas, when heated will decompose into carbon monoxide and chlorine in a reversible reaction: COCl2 (g) <
Advocard [28]

Answer:

8.08 × 10⁻⁴

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

COCl₂(g) ⇄ CO (g) + Cl₂(g)

The initial concentration of phosgene is:

M = 2.00 mol / 1.00 L = 2.00 M

We can find the final concentrations using an ICE chart.

     COCl₂(g) ⇄ CO (g) + Cl₂(g)

I       2.00            0            0

C        -x             +x           +x

E    2.00 -x          x             x

The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂, x, is 0.0398 mol / 1.00 L = 0.0398 M.

The concentrations at equilibrium are:

[COCl₂] = 2.00 -x = 1.96 M

[CO] = [Cl₂] = 0.0398 M

The equilibrium constant (Keq) is:

Keq = [CO].[Cl₂]/[COCl₂]

Keq = (0.0398)²/1.96

Keq = 8.08 × 10⁻⁴

3(x - 2) = 5(x + 4)<br><br>​
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Uh first of all this is algebra but I'll answer this

First distribute the three and 5 (Multiply them by both terms inside parenthesis.

3x-6=5x+20

Then add like terms

8x=14

Divide 8 by 8 and 8 by 14

x = 14/8

Decide whether a chemical reaction happens in either of the following situations. If a reaction does happen, write the chemical
sineoko [7]

Explanation:

A strip of solid palladium metal is put into a beaker of nicl2

Palladium (Pd) + Nickel Chloride (NiCl2)

To answer this question properly you must refer to the reactivity series.

The activity series is a chart of metals listed in order of declining relative reactivity. The top metals are more reactive than the metals on the bottom.

In this series, Nickel is higher than Palladium. This means that if a Palladium strip is placed into a solution of a Ni salt, then a reaction will not take place, nothing would happen.

Because Pd is lower than Ni in the reactivity series.

There is no reaction so no equation.

Did you know conventional argult culture has increased greenhouse gas emissions, soil erosion, water pollution, and threatened humans health. Let’s stop this from harming our environment and take action about this today. Organic farming has a smaller carbon footprint, conserves and builds soil, replenishes natural ecosystems for cleaner water and air, all with a toxic pesticide residues.
