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

1 answer:

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!

Consider the balanced equation for the following reaction:

Bad White [126]

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of the lithium chlorate is 1054.67 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Actual moles of lithium chlorate = 9.45 moles

Molar mass of lithium chlorate = 90.4 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$9.45mol=\frac{\text{Actual yield of lithium chlorate}}{90.4g/mol}\\\\\text{Actual yield of lithium chlorate}=(9.45mol\times 90.4g/mol)=854.28g$

To calculate the theoretical yield of lithium chlorate, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Actual yield of lithium chlorate = 854.28 g

Percentage yield of lithium chlorate = 81.0 %

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$81=\frac{854.28g}{\text{Theoretical yield of lithium chlorate}}\times 100\\\\\text{Theoretical yield of lithium chlorate}=\frac{854.28\times 100}{81}=1054.67g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of the lithium chlorate is 1054.67 grams
