3) Each lithium atom will lose one electron and become positively charged.

This is an example of ionic bonding wherein an electron is transferred from one atom to another. As each atom wants to have complete outer shells (with lithium's having one electron and bromine's having seven) the electron will move from the Lithium to the Bromine. Lithium will become positive as electrons are negatively charged and it has one less electron than it originally had.

He predicted an element with an atomic weight between 65 (zinc) and 75 (arsenic) with a valence similar to aluminum that he name
skad [1K]

Answer:

Scandium

Explanation:

Mendeleev played an important role in the development of the modern periodic table. His periodic table was filled with gaps. He said that these gaps were elements that were yet to be discovered. He rightly predicted many elements which have now been discovered and fitted in their proper places in the periodic table.

He used the prefix ''eka'' to refer to elements whose properties were alike but were yet to be discovered at that time.

The compound named ekaboron which he predicted to have an atomic weight between 65 (zinc) and 75 (arsenic) with a valence similar to aluminum was later discovered in 1879 and properly named scandium.

If the mass percentage composition of a compound is 72.1% Mn and 27.9% O, its empirical formula is
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

MnO- Manganese Oxide

Explanation:

Empirical formula: This is the formula that shows the ratio of elements

present in a  

compound.

   

How to determine Empirical formula

1. First arrange the symbols of the elements present in the compound

alphabetically to  determine the real empirical formula. Although, there

are exceptions to this rule, E.g H2So4

2. Divide the percentage composition by the mass number.

3. Then divide through by the smallest number.

4. The resulting answer is the ratio attached to the elements present in

a compound.

           

                                                                              Mn                         O    

                         

% composition                                                      72.1                      27.9    

                       

Divide by mass number                                       54.94                     16  

                                 

                                                                               1.31                      1.74    

                       

Divide by the smallest number                         1.31                      1.31                          

                                                                               1                    1.3

                                                 

The resulting ratio is 1:1

 

Hence the Empirical formula is MnO, Manganese oxide

How does the tendency of iron to rust depend on ph?
mojhsa [17]
The  tendency  of  iron  to  rust   depend  on  the  Ph   of solution

 The   formation  of  rust  increases  as  the  PH  decreases.  This  led  agent  of  rusting  that  is  oxygen  gets  more  positive  as  H+  ions  increase   which  facilitate     rusting. The    lower  the  Ph  level  the   quick  the   corrosion.

Calculate the number of moles of caco3 (calcium carbonate, or limestone) in a 20.0g sample of this substance
Brrunno [24]
First calculate for the molar mass of the given formula unit, CaCO₃. This can be done by adding up the product when the number of atom is multiplied to its individual molar mass as shown below.

     molar mass of CaCO₃ = (1 mol Ca)(40 g Ca/mol Ca) + (1 mol C)(12 g of C/1 mol of C) + (3 mols of O)(16 g O/1 mol O) = 100 g/mol of CaCO₃

Then, divide the given amount of substance by the calculated molar mass.
            number of moles = (20 g)(1 mol of CaCO₃/100 g)
             number of moles = 0.2 moles of CaCO₃

<em>Answer: 0.2 moles</em>

How many moles are there in 7.5 L Of H2
True [87]
So multiply number of moles x number of atoms/mole = 1.8066 x 10^24 atoms of H2. One mole of any gas at STP has a volume of 22.4 L. So first determine the number of moles of gas you have.
for example do 7
7.5 \div 22.4
that 's what I think
