Chemistry
1 answer:
34kurt3 years ago
5 0

Answer: 39 electrons

Explanation: Subtract 79 by 40 to get the atomic number (amount of protons) which is 39. The number of electrons must be the same as the number of protons if it's not an ionic compound so the amount of electrons is the same amount of protons.

What substance is reduced in the reaction 2Fe 2+ + CI2 = 2Fe 3+ + 2CI- ?
atroni [7]

Answer:

$Cl_{2}$ is reduced in the reaction

Explanation:

The given reaction is

$2Fe^{2+}+Cl_{2} \to 2Fe^{3+}+2Cl^{-}$

The oxidation number of $Fe$ is changed from $+2\, \to \, +3$

$Fe^{2+} \to Fe^{3+}+e^{-}$

And The oxidation number of $Cl$ is changed from $0\, \to \, -1$

$Cl_{2}^{0} + 2e^{-} \to 2Cl^{-}$

Hence, $Fe^{2+}$ is oxidized and $Cl_{2}$ is reduced

Na+ + Cl–  NaCl Which statement best describes the relationship between the substances in the equation?
ANTONII [103]

Answer : The number of sodium ions is equal to the number of formula units of salt.


Explanation : In the given reaction of NaCl the statement which describes it the best is that the number of sodium ions is found to be same along with the formula units in the product side.


Na^{+} + Cl^{-} ----> NaCl.


Its clear from the equation that one mole of Na and one mole of Cl combines together to give the product, which is one mole of NaCl. The number of ions on both the sides are equal.

What is the limiting reactant when 8.4 moles of lithium react with 4.6 moles of oxygen gas?
serious [3.7K]

Answer: Lithium

Explanation: The balanced chemical equation is:

4Li+O_2\rightarrow 2Li_2O

It can be seen, 4 moles of lithium combines with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of lithium oxide.

Thus 8.4 moles of lithium combines with=\frac{1}{4}\times {8.4}=2.1molesof oxygen gas to produce 4.2 moles of lithium oxide.

As, Lithium limits the formation of product, it is the limiting reagent and Oxygen gas is present in excess, it is called the excess reagent. (4.6-2.1)=2.5 moles of oxygen gas are present in excess.
