Increase in kinetic energy as well as energy loss to the surroundings in the form of heat ( negligible)
Answer:
32, 30 and 41
Explanation:
The problem here is to find the number of:
Protons, neutrons and electrons in Ge²⁺
In this ion,
We must understand that for a net positive charge to remain on an atom, the number of protons must be greater than the number of electrons.
Ge is Germanium with atomic number of 32;
So the number of protons is 32
Since the atom has lost two electrons;
Number of electrons now is 32 - 2 = 30
Number of neutrons is 41 from the periodic table.
D, carbon dioxide and water. Methane and oxygen PRODUCE carbon dioxide and water in their reaction.
Answer:
.
Explanation:
Electrons are conserved in a chemical equation.
The superscript of 
indicates that each of these ions carries a charge of 
. That corresponds to the shortage of one electron for each 
ion.
Similarly, the superscript 
on each 
ion indicates a shortage of three electrons per such ion.
Assume that the coefficient of (among the reactants) is 
, and that the coefficient of (among the reactants) is 
.
.
There would thus be silver (
) atoms and aluminum (
) atoms on either side of the equation. Hence, the coefficient for 
and 
would be 
and 
, respectively.
.
The ions on the left-hand side of the equation would correspond to the shortage of electrons. On the other hand, the 
ions on the right-hand side of this equation would correspond to the shortage of 
electrons.
Just like atoms, electrons are also conserved in a chemical reaction. Therefore, if the left-hand side has a shortage of electrons, the right-hand side should also be electrons short of being neutral. On the other hand, it is already shown that the right-hand side would have a shortage of electrons. These two expressions should have the same value. Therefore, 
.
The smallest integer and that could satisfy this relation are 
and 
. The equation becomes:
.
