Given :
An atom of a certain element has 12 protons, 14 neutrons, and 2 valence electrons.
To Find :
The name of this element.
Solution :
We know, element with atomic number ( number of protons ) 12 and valance electrons is Magnesium.
Now, isotope of magnesium of proton with 14 neutrons is Mg-16 .
Therefore, name of element is Mg-16 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water. ... The heavier water displaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top. One consequence of this is that lakes and rivers freeze from top to bottom, allowing fish to survive even when the surface of a lake has frozen over
Answer is: no reaction occurs, because all salts are soluble in water.
Balanced chemical reaction:
Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + MgSO₄(aq)→ Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) + ZnSO₄(aq).
Ionic reaction:
Zn²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + Zn²⁺ + SO₄²⁻(aq).
This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations and anions of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.
Answer:
Ca2+ is an ion with a correct charge.
