How many electrons does an atom have

1 answer:

4 0

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.

Which term describes a section of Earht's structure below moving continents as parts of large plates?

Snezhnost [94]

"Asthenosphere" describes a section of Earth's structure below moving continents as parts of large plates.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The asthenosphere denoted as the upper mantle of a very sticky, mechanically weak and flexible area in the earth. It is located below the surface of the lithosphere at depths of about 80 and 200 km (in terms of miles, 50 and 120). The boundary is commonly called the lithospheric LAB - asthenosphere.

The asthenosphere is nearly solid, though some of its regions could be molten below mid-ocean ridges for an instance. The lower asthenosphere boundary isn't well defined. The asthenosphere's thickness depends primarily on the temperature.

Answer the following questions about the solubility of AgCl(s). The value of Ksp for AgCl(s) is 1.8 × 10−10.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

[Ag⁺] = 1.3 × 10⁻⁵M

s = 3.3 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

Because the common ion effect.

Explanation:

1. Value of [Ag⁺] in a saturated solution of AgCl in distilled water.

The value of [Ag⁺] in a saturated solution of AgCl in distilled water is calculated by the dissolution reaction:

AgCl(s) ⇄ Ag⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

The ICE (initial, change, equilibrium) table is:

AgCl(s) ⇄ Ag⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

I X 0 0

C -s +s +s

E X - s s s

Since s is very small, X - s is practically equal to X and is a constant, due to which the concentration of the solids do not appear in the Ksp equation.

Thus, the Ksp equation is:

Ksp = [Ag⁺] [Cl⁻]

Ksp = s × s

Ksp = s²

By substitution:

1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ = s²

s = 1.34 × 10⁻⁵M

Rounding to two significant figures:

[Ag⁺] = 1.3 × 10⁻⁵M ← answer

2. Molar solubility of AgCl(s) in seawater

Since, the conentration of Cl⁻ in seawater is 0.54 M you must introduce this as the initial concentration in the ECE table.

The new ICE table will be:

AgCl(s) ⇄ Ag⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

I X 0 0.54

C -s +s +s

E X - s s s + 0.54

The new equation for the Ksp equation will be:

Ksp = [Ag⁺] [Cl⁻]

Ksp = s × ( s + 0.54)

Ksp = s² + 0.54s

By substitution:

1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ = s² + 0.54s

s² + 0.54s - 1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 0

Now you must solve a quadratic equation.

Use the quadratic formula:

$s=\dfrac{-0.54\pm\sqrt{0.54^2-4(1)(-1.8\times 10^{-10})}}{2(1)}$

The positive and valid solution is s = 3.3×10⁻¹⁰ M ← answer

3. Why is AgCl(s) less soluble in seawater than in distilled water.

AgCl(s) is less soluble in seawater than in distilled water because there are some Cl⁻ ions is seawater which shift the equilibrium to the left.

This is known as the common ion effect.

By LeChatelier's principle, you know that an increase in the concentrations of one of the substances that participate in the equilibrium displaces the reaction to the direction that minimizes this efect.

In the case of solubility reactions, this is known as the common ion effect: when the solution contains one of the ions that is formed by the solid reactant, the reaction will proceed in less proportion, i.e. less reactant can be dissolved.
