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.

Which of dalton's postulates about atoms are inconsistent with later observations? do these inconsistencies mean that dalton was
Neporo4naja [7]

1)  Dalton stated that atom is matter that can not be divided, but it is proved that the atom can be divided into subatomic particles  (electrons, protons and neutrons).

2) He stated that atoms of one element can not be changed into atoms of other  elements, but now that is possible by nuclear reactions.

Today we still use his postulate: Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form stable compounds, for example H₂O.

If the value of kc at 25oc is 3.7108, and the equilibrium concentrations for n2 and h2 are 0.000105 m and 0.0000542 m, respectiv
frez [133]

Equation of decomposition of ammonia:

N2+3H2->2NH3

Euilibrium constant:

Kc=(NH3)^2/((N2)((H2)^3))

As concentration of N2=0.000105, H2=0.0000542

so equation will become:

3.7=(NH3)^2/(0.000105)*(0.0000542)^3

NH3=√(3.7*0.000105*(0.0000542)^3)

NH3=7.8×10⁻⁹

So concentration of ammonia will be 7.8×10⁻⁹.

A driver blows 0.75 -L air bubble 10 m under water. As it rises to the surface, the pressure goes from 2.25 atm to 1.03 atm. Wha
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

1.64 L

Explanation:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = 2.25 atm

V₁ = 0.75 L

P₂ = 1.03 atm

V₂ = ?

(2.25 atm)(0.75 L) = (1.03 atm)V₂

[(2.25 atm)(0.75 L)]/(1.03 atm) = V₂

V₂ = 1.64 L
