By the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another
for example,
2Na + Cl₂ → 2Na⁺Cl⁻
Na - e⁻ → Na⁺
Cl₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Cl⁻
Atoms do not always contain the same number of electrons and protons, although this state is common. When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. In contrast, when an atom loses or gains an electron (or the rarer case of losing or gaining a proton, which requires a nuclear reaction), the total charges add up to something other than zero.
Answer:
103.9 g
Explanation:
First <u>we convert 54.0 g of propane (C₃H₈) into moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:
- 54.0 g ÷ 44 g/mol = 1.23 mol C₃H₈
Then we <u>convert 1.23 moles of C₃H₈ into moles of CO₂</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients</em>:
- 1.23 mol C₃H₈ *
= 3.69 mol CO₂
We <u>convert 3.69 moles of CO₂ into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:
- 3.69 mol CO₂ * 44 g/mol = 162.36 g
And <u>apply the given yield</u>:
- 162.36 g * 64.0/100 = 103.9 g
