Answer:

If the protons in the atom outnumber the electrons, the isotope has more positive charges than negative charges but If the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons, the ion charge will be negative.

Explanation:

The charge of an isotope is defined by how many more protons there are than electrons.

Or the other way around.

For example if there are 4 protons and 2 electrons, the ion charge is +2 because there are more protons.

If there are 4 electrons and 2 protons, the ion charge is -2 because there are more electrons.

As the distance between the moon and Earth increases the moon's orbital speed...

AleksAgata [21]

Although the moon's distance from earth varies each month because of its eccentric orbit, the moon's mean distance from Earth is nonetheless increasing at the rate of about 3.8 centimeters (1.5 inches) per year

Using Dimensional Analysis

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 1.51 × 10²⁶ atoms Xe

[Solve] moles Xe

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 1.51 \cdot 10^{26} \ atoms \ Xe(\frac{1 \ mol \ Xe}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Xe})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 250.747 \ mol \ Xe$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rule and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

250.747 mol Xe ≈ 251 mol Xe

Write a balanced overall reaction from these unbalanced half-reactions. ln->ln3+ cd2+->cd

DochEvi [55]

Oxidation reaction
In ---> In³⁺ + 3e ---1)
reduction reaction
Cd²⁺ + 2e ---> Cd ---2)
when balancing the reactions, electrons have to be balanced. to balance the electrons multiple 1st reaction by 2 and 2nd reaction by 3
1) x 2
2) x 3
2In ---> 2In³⁺ + 6e
3Cd²⁺ + 6e ---> 3Cd
add the 2 equations to obtain the overall reaction

2In + 3Cd²⁺ ---> 2In³⁺ + 3Cd

Q3. A student wanted to make blue copper sulfate crystals from green copper carbonate powder

CaHeK987 [17]

Heat the sulfuric acid solution and adding copper carbonate in it.

<h3>Improvement require in this experiment</h3>

The method could be improved by heating sulfuric acid solution and add copper carbonate into the solution of sulfuric acid. Add the copper carbonate until it is present in excess amount. After that filter the extra amount of copper carbonate so in this way the blue copper sulfate crystals are produced.
