Be sure to answer all parts. Rubidium and bromine atoms are depicted at right. Answer the following questions. (a) What is the c
harge on the rubidium ion? What is the charge on the bromide ion? (b) To which noble gas is the rubidium ion related? To which noble gas is the bromide ion related? h5sil8102 (c) Which pair below best represents the relative ionic sizes?
1 answer:
The complete question is found on the image attached.
Answer:
a) Rb= +1, Br= -1
b)Bromide and rubidium ions are related to krypton
c) C
Explanation:
Rubidium is found in group 1 with a charge of +1. Bromine is found in group 17 with a charge of -1. Both species have the same configuration as krypton. The ionic sizes of the ions are a very similar to each other Rb+ is 166 while Be is 167.
This RbBr is an ionic compound.

Explanation:
To balance the reactions given, we must understand that the principle to follow is the law of conservation of matter.
Based on this premise, the number of moles of species on the reactant and product side must be the same;
Li + Br₂ → LiBr
Put a,b and c as the coefficient of each species
aLi + bBr₂ → cLiBr
balancing Li;
a = c
balancing Br;
2b = c
let a = 1;
c = 1
b =
or a = 2, b = 1 , c = 2
2Li + Br₂ → 2LiBr
P + Cl₂ → PCl₃
Using the same method;
aP + bCl₂ → cPCl₃
balancing P;
a = c
balancing Cl;
2b = 3c
let a = 1;
c = 1
b =
or
a = 2, b = 3, c = 2
2P + 3Cl₂ → 2PCl₃
iii,
H₂ + SO₂ → H₂S + H₂O
use coefficients a,b,c and d;
aH₂ + bSO₂ → cH₂S + dH₂O
balancing H;
2a = 2c + 2d
balancing S;
b = c
balancing O
2b = d
let b = 1,
c = 1
d = 2
a = 3
3H₂ + SO₂ → H₂S + 2H₂O
Answer:
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.
2.5559 kg of Zn are in 3.82 kg of ZnS.
Explanation:
a) Mass of zinc sulfide = 254 g
Mass of zinc in a zinc sulfide sample = 170 g
Mass of sulfide in zinc sulfide sample = x
254 g = 170 g+ x
x = 84 g
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide:
b) Mass of zincsulfide sample = 3.83 kg
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.
Let the mass of zinc and sulfide be 85x and 42x respectively:
85 x+ 42 x=3.82 kg
x =0.03007 kg
Mass of an zinc= 85x=85 × 0.03007 kg= 2.5559 kg
