Answer:
Zn(s) + 2H+(aq) => Zn²+(aq) + H2 (g)
Explanation:
The equation Zn + 2 HCI -> H₂ +zncl2 on reduction and oxidation, it results as below;
- 2H+ + 2e- => H2 ; reduction
- Zn => Zn²+ + 2e- ; oxidation
The equations above are half cell.
On combination of the above half cell reaction equations gives;
Zn(s) + 2H+(aq) => Zn²+(aq) + H2 (g).
Therefore, the half reaction equation for Zn + 2 HCI -> H₂ +zncl2 is given by;
Zn(s) + 2H+(aq) => Zn²+(aq) + H2 (g).
Atomic mass Carbon (C ) = 12.01 a.m.u
12.01 g ---------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
1.50 g ----------- ??
1.50 x ( 6.02x10²³ ) / 12.01 =
7.51x10²² atoms of C
hope this helps!
What do you mean.....kelvin?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given elements:
Sodium
Fluorine
The ion Na⁺ is made up of 10 electrons, its electronic configuration is:
1s² 2s² 2p⁶
Ion F⁻ is made up of 10 electrons, its electronic configuration is:
1s² 2s² 2p⁶
These ions do not form +2 because they cannot attain stability by losing or gaining two electrons.
Sodium atom is made up of one valence electron. If it loses one electron, it will be isoelectronic with Neon.
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons, to attain stability, it must gain one electron to form an octet. This way it will be isoelectronic with Neon.
Losing or gaining two electrons will not make the elements attain stability.
