Depending on what the original charge of the atom is, when an e- is added, that charge will drop by one. If an atom loses an e- the charge will be one higher.

Answer:

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. The atom is then said to be electrically charged, or "ionized". There is a major difference between the neutral state and the ionized state. In the neutral state, an atom has little electromagnetic attraction to other atoms. Note that the electric field of a neutral atom is weak, but is not exactly zero because the atom is not a point particle. If another atom gets close enough to the atom, they may begin to share electrons. Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

How many grams of HF are needed to react with 3.0 moles of Sn? *
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

120g

Explanation:

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

Sn + 2HF —> SnF2 + H2

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of HF needed to react with 3 moles of Sn.

From the balanced equation above, 1 mole of Sn reacted with 2 moles of HF.

Therefore, 3 moles of Sn will react with = 3 x 2 = 6 moles of HF.

Finally, we shall convert 6moles of HF to grams

This is illustrated below:

Number of mole of HF = 6moles

Molar Mass of HF = 1 + 19 = 20g/mol

Mass of HF =..?

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of HF = 6 x 20

Mass of HF = 120g

Therefore, 120g of HF is needed to react with 3 moles of Sn
