Answer : If it loses 2 electrons, the net charge on the atom will be (+2) and If it gains 4 electrons, the net charge on the atom will be (-4).

Explanation :

We are given:

Number of electron in an atom = 9

Number of protons in an atom = 9

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.

When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

According to the question,

When the atom loses 2 electrons then the net charge on the atom will be (+2) because it will form a positive ion by losing electrons.

When the atom gains 4 electrons then the net charge on the atom will be (-4) because it will form a negative ion by gains electrons.

Two equilibrium reactions of nitrogen with oxygen, with their corresponding equilibrium constants (Kc) at a certain temperature,
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Kc = 1.54e - 31 / 2.61e - 24

Explanation:

1 )   N_{2}(gas) + O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow 2NO(gas)  ; Kc = 1.54e - 31

2)   N_{2}(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow N_{2}O(gas)  ; Kc = 2.16e - 24

   upon reversing  ( 2 )  equation

     N_{2}O(gas)\rightarrow N_{2}(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)   Kc = 1/2.16e - 24  

    now adding 1 and reversed equation (2)

       N_{2}(gas) + O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow 2NO(gas)

      N_{2}O(gas)\rightarrow N_{2}(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)

   we get ,

                  N_{2}O(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow 2NO(gas)  Kc = 1.54e-31 × 1/2.61e - 24

       equilibrium constant of equation (3) is -

            Kc = 1.54e - 31 / 2.61e - 24

What does it mean to say an equation is balanced? Why is it important for an equation to be balanced?​
Rom4ik [11]

Answer: It is important for an equation to be balanced because if it is not then the reactants won't match the products.

Explanation: I don't know if you will understand this but here:

Let's say you're cooking eggs, you're reactants so to speak would be 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon of oil so you put it together using heat and a pan. Your products have to match what you have in the beginning. You cannot have an equation that looks like this

Reactants = 3eggs + 1Tbsp oil ---pan/heat---> 6eggs + 1 cup of oil

You cannot get something from what you don't have. The number of how much of an element you have must be the same of both sides of the equation.
