Atoms do not always contain the same number of electrons and protons, although this state is common. When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. In contrast, when an atom loses or gains an electron (or the rarer case of losing or gaining a proton, which requires a nuclear reaction), the total charges add up to something other than zero.
I think i found your answers
The formula for K+ and S-2 is K2S because you need 2 potassium ions to balance out the sulfide ion
Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
Assume the initial concentrations of H₂ and I₂ are 0.030 and 0.015 mol·L⁻¹, respectively.
We must calculate the initial concentration of HI.
1. We will need a chemical equation with concentrations, so let's gather all the information in one place.
H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2HI
I/mol·L⁻¹: 0.30 0.15 x
2. Calculate the concentration of HI
![Q_{\text{c}} = \dfrac{\text{[HI]}^{2}} {\text{[H$_{2}$][I$_{2}$]}} =\dfrac{x^{2}}{0.30 \times 0.15} = 5.56\\\\x^{2} = 0.30 \times 0.15 \times 5.56 = 0.250\\x = \sqrt{0.250} = \textbf{0.50 mol/L}\\\text{The initial concentration of HI is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.50 mol/L}}$}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q_%7B%5Ctext%7Bc%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BHI%5D%7D%5E%7B2%7D%7D%20%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BH%24_%7B2%7D%24%5D%5BI%24_%7B2%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%20%3D%5Cdfrac%7Bx%5E%7B2%7D%7D%7B0.30%20%5Ctimes%200.15%7D%20%3D%20%205.56%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D%200.30%20%5Ctimes%200.15%20%5Ctimes%205.56%20%3D%200.250%5C%5Cx%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B0.250%7D%20%3D%20%5Ctextbf%7B0.50%20mol%2FL%7D%5C%5C%5Ctext%7BThe%20initial%20concentration%20of%20HI%20is%20%24%5Clarge%20%5Cboxed%7B%5Ctextbf%7B0.50%20mol%2FL%7D%7D%24%7D)
