Answer:

+ 19

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Proton = 19

Neutron = 20

Electron = 19

Charge on nucleus =.?

From a background understanding of the structure of an atom, the nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons with the proton being positively charged and the neutron is neutral while the electrons being negatively charged revolve around the nucleus.

From the above question, we understood that the potassium atom has 19 protons which are all positively charged. This simply means that the nucleus has a charge of + 19 since the neutrons are neutral.

How many grams of H2O will be formed when 32.0 g H2 is mixed with 84.0 g of O2 and allowed to react to form water

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

94.58 g of $H_2O$

Explanation:

For this question we have to start with the reaction:

$H_2~+~O_2~->~H_2O$

Now, we can balance the reaction:

$2H_2~+~O_2~->~2H_2O$

We have the amount of $H_2$ and the amount of $O_2$ . Therefore we have to find the limiting reactive, for this, we have to follow a few steps.

1) Find the moles of each reactive, using the molar mass of each compound ( $H_2~=~2~g/mol~~O_2=~32~g/mol$ ).

2) Divide by the coefficient of each compound in the balanced reaction ("2" for $H_2$ and "1" for $O_2$ ).

Find the moles of each reactive

$32.0~g~H_2\frac{1~mol~H_2}{2~g~of~H_2}=15.87~mol~H_2$

$84.0~g~of~O_2\frac{1~mol~of~O_2}{32~g~of~O_2}=2.62~mol~of~O_2$

Divide by the coefficient

$\frac{15.87~mol~H_2}{2}=7.94$

$\frac{2.62~mol~of~O_2}{1}=2.62$

The smallest values are for $H_2$ , so hydrogen is the limiting reagent. Now, we can do the calculation for the amount of water:

$32.0~g~H_2\frac{1~mol~H_2}{2~g~of~H_2}\frac{2~mol~H_2O}{2~mol~H_2}\frac{18~g~H_2O}{1~mol~H_2O}=94.58~g~H_2O$

We have to remember that the molar ratio between $H_2O$ and $H_2$ is 2:2 and the molar mass of $H_2O$ is 18 g/mol.
