What is the charge on an ion that contains 16 protons and 18 electrons?

Chemistry

16-18= -2 so it has a negative charge. Just subtract the electrons from the protons if you get a positive number it will have a positive charge and vice versa.

Two solids of identical mass, A and B, are analyzed using identical calorimeters. Each calorimeter contains the same amount of w
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Specific heat of solid A is greater than specific heat of solid B.

Explanation:

In the calorimeter, as the temperature is increasing, the vibrational kinetic energy will increase and this means that additional amount of energy will be needed to increase the temperature by the same value. Therefore, we can conclude that specific heat increases as temperature increases.

Now, we are told that the final temperature of solid A's calorimeter is higher than that of B.

This means from our definition earlier, Solid A will have a higher specific heat that solid B.

What would be the oxidation and reduction half reactions for this equation?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻   OXIDATION

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Mg(s)   REDUCTION

Explanation:

The redox reaction is: MgCl₂(aq) + Fe(s) → FeCl₂(aq) + Mg(s)

We need to know that elements in ground state have 0 as the oxidation state.

Iron in the reactants, and Mg in the products

In the magnessium chloride, the Mg acts with+2, so the oxidation state has decreased → REDUCTION

In the iron(II) chloride, the Fe acts with +2, so the oxidation statehas increased → OXIDATION

The half reactions are:

Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻   OXIDATION

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Mg(s)   REDUCTION

How many moles of gas are contained in a rigid, sealed, 5 L container, at 1 atm of pressure and 22 oc?
Ugo [173]
The ideal gas law is: PV=nRT
Pressure
Volume
n= moles
R= gas constant
Temperature in Kelvin
(Degrees in celsius +273)
n= PV/RT
(1.00atm)(5.00L)/(.08026)(295K)= .207mol of gas

A gas has a volume of 200. mL at 350. mm Hg. What will its volume be if the pressure is changed to 555. mm Hg
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The final volume when pressure is changed is 126.1mL

Explanation:

Based on Boyle's law, in a gas the volume is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature remains constant. The equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

<em>Where P is pressure and V volume of 1, intial state and 2, final state.</em>

<em />

Computing the values of the problem:

350mmHg*200mL = 555mmHgV₂

126.1mmHg = V₂

<h3>The final volume when pressure is changed is 126.1mL</h3>

What is the result of an uncontrolled chain reaction
vazorg [7]

A chain reaction is a nuclear reaction that occurs when sufficient unstable nuclei are present so that when one splits (decays), its products hit other unstable nuclei, causing them to decay and initiating a chain reaction.

If this reaction goes uncontrolled, a massive explosion occurs. Such a reaction is the type that went uncontrolled when nuclear bombs were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. A chain reaction is much like dominoes all in a row; when one goes down, they all go down in order. The only way to block the chain reaction is to pull out a domino or to block the fall so the "chain" is broken.

The amount of fissionable material needed to accomplish a spontaneous chain reaction is called the critical mass. The critical mass for U-235 is about 1 kg. This explosive fission process takes place quickly, and an incredible amount of energy is released when it occurs.

So it would be C.
