How do you know how many an atom contains and how many electrons the entire ion has either lost or gained?

Chemistry

Mkey [24]3 years ago

If you mean how many electrons an atom contains then this is the same as the atomic number of the atom. For example, the atomic number of oxygen is 8 so it contains 8 protons. Since in a stable atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, oxygen contains 8 electrons.

If you have an ion and you want to know how many electrons it has lost or gained, you look at the charge. If it is a 2+ ion then it has lost two electrons, if it's a - ion then it has gained an electron. The number of electrons in an ion is the atomic number +/- the charge shown. For example a Mg2+ ion would have 10 electrons as a magnesium atom has 12 electrons and loses two to form the 2+ ion.

The gauge pressure inside a vessel is ‐40kPa, at an elevation of 5000m. a) What is the absolute pressure? b) At this elevation,
hoa [83]

Answer:

a) Pabs = 48960 KPa

b) T = 433.332 °C

Explanation:

  • Pabs = Pgauge + d*g* h

∴ d = 1000 Kg/m³

∴ g = 9.8 m/s²

∴ h = 5000 m

∴ P gauge = - 40 KPa * ( 1000 Pa / KPa ) = - 40000 Pa; Pa≡Kg/m*s²

⇒ Pabs = - 40000 Kg/ms² + ( 1000 Kg/m³ * 9.8 m/s² * 5000 m )

⇒ Pabs = 48960000 Pa = 48960 KPa

a) at that height and pressure, we find the temperature at which the water boils by means of an almost-exponential graph which has the following equation:

P(T) = 0.61094 exp ( 17.625*T / ( T + 243.04 ))......P (KPa) ∧ T (°C)....from literature

∴ P = 48960 KPa

⇒ ( 48960 KPa / 0.61094 ) = exp ( 17.625T / (T+ 243.04))

⇒ 80138.803 = exp ( 17.625T / ( T + 243.04))

⇒ Ln ( 80138.803) = 17.625T / ( T + 243.04))

⇒ 11.292 * ( T + 243.04 ) = 17.625T

⇒ 11.292T + 2744.289 = 17.625T

⇒ 2744.289 = 17.625T - 11.292T

⇒ 2744.289 = 6.333T

⇒ T = 433.332 °C

Is it likely that an atom of Te would substitute for an atom of O in a solid compound? yes no indeterminate
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The correct answer is no.

Explanation:

Tellurium is a chemical element denoted by Te and having atomic number 52. It is mildly toxic, brittle, silver-white, and rare metalloid. The element is chemically related to sulfur and selenium, all three of which are chalcogens.  

Oxygen is a chemical element, that is, a substance, which comprises only one kind of atom. Its official chemical symbol is O and exhibits an atomic number 8, this signifies that an atom of oxygen possesses eight protons in its nucleus. In the given question, it is not likely that tellurium would replace for oxygen, as the two elements are highly unlike.

How many grams of H2O can be made from the combustion of 3.75 liters of C7H14 and an excess of O2 at STP?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

21.10g of H2O

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2C7H14 + 21O2 —> 14CO2 + 14H2O

From the balanced equation above, 2L of C7H14 produced 14L of H2O.

Therefore, 3.75L of C7H14 will produce = (3.75 x 14)/2 = 26.25L of H2O.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of H2O that will occupy 26.25L at stp. This is illustrated below:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4L at stp

Therefore, Xmol of H2O will occupy

26.25L i.e

Xmol of H2O = 26.25/22.4

Xmol of H2O = 1.172 mole

Therefore, 1.172 mole of H2O is produced from the reaction.

Next, we shall convert 1.172 mole of H2O to grams. This is illustrated below:

Number of mole H2O = 1.172 mole

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H2O =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of H2O = 1.172 x 18

Mass of H2O = 21.10g

Therefore, 21.10g of H2O is produced from the reaction.

How man grams of cl2 are consumed to produce 12.0 g of KCl
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

5.71 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 K + Cl₂ ⇒ 2 KCl

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 12.0 g of KCl

The molar mass of KCl is 74.55 g/mol.

12.0 g × 1 mol/74.55 g = 0.161 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of Cl₂ needed to produce 0.161 moles of KCl

The molar ratio of Cl₂ to KCl is 1:2. The moles of Cl₂ needed are 1/2 × 0.161 mol = 0.0805 mol

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.0805 moles of Cl₂

The molar mass of Cl₂ is 70.91 g/mol.

0.0805 mol × 70.91 g/mol = 5.71 g
