If an atom has 17 protons, 15 neutrons, and 20 electrons, what is the atom's electrical charge?

Chemistry

olga55 [171]3 years ago
3 0

The overall charge on this ion is -3. Neutrons don’t carry a charge, while protons and electrons carry a net +1 and -1 charge, respectively. In this case, the electrons outweigh the protons by 3, making the overall charge -3.

Hope this helps!

Given: logK=nE∘0.0592 What is the value K for this redox reaction? Zn2+(aq) + 2 Cl−(aq) → Zn(s) + Cl2(
anygoal [31]

<em>K</em> = 2.4 × 10^(-72)

<em>Step 1</em>. Determine the <em>value of n </em>

Zn^(2+) + 2e^(-) → Zn

2Cl^(-) → Cl_2 + 2e^(-)

Zn^(2+) + 2Cl^(-) → Zn + Cl_2

∴ <em>n</em> = 2

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate <em>K</em>

log<em>K</em> = <em>nE</em>°/0.0592 V = [2 × (-2.12 V)]/0.0592 V = -71.62

<em>K</em> = 10^(-71.62) = 2.4 × 10^(-72)

How many grams of water can be formed from the reaction of 8.76 grams of H2 with 10.5 liters of O2 (at STP) according to the bal
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

16.9g of H₂O can be formed

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction, 2 moles of H₂ react per mole of O₂. To anser this question we must find limiting reactant converting the mass and volume of each reactant to moles:

<em>Moles H₂ -Molar mass: 2.016g/mol-:</em>

8.76g * (1mol / 2.016g) = 4.345 moles

<em>Moles O₂:</em>

PV = nRT

PV/RT = n

P = 1atm at STP

V = 10.5L

R = 0.082atmL/molK

T = 273.15K at STP

n = 1atm*10.5L / 0.082atmL/molK*273.15K

n = 0.469 moles of oxygen

For a complete reaction of 4.345 moles moles of hydrogen are required:

4.345 moles H2 * (1mol O2 / 2mol H2) = 2.173 moles of O2 are required. As there are just 0.469 moles, Oxygen is limiting reactant

Now, 1 mole of O2 produce 2 moles of H2O. 0.469 moles will produce:

0.469 moles O₂ * (2 moles H₂O / 1mol O₂) = 0.938 moles H₂O.

The mass is -Molar mas H₂O = 18.01g/mol-:

0.938 moles * (18.01g/mol) =

<h3>16.9g of H₂O can be formed</h3>

The time necessary for the decay of one- half sample of a radioactive substance is a _____. mass defect daughter half life nucli
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: half life

Explanation: Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics and the time required for the decay of a radioactive material is calculated as follows:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{x}{a}

t= time required

k= disintegration constant

x= amount of substance left after time t

a= initial amount of substance

when one half of the sample is decayed, one half of the sample remains and t can be represented as t_{1/2}

at t= t_{1/2}, x=\frac{a}{2}

t_{1/2}=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{a/2}{a}

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}
