Which of the following contains the same number of electrons as an atom of neon?

Chemistry
1 answer:
asambeis [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D. O^{2-}

Explanation:

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Oxygen has a total number of eight (8) electrons and as such the O^{2-} is able to gain (receive) two (2) more electrons in order to have the same electron arrangements as the noble gas i.e an atom of neon that has a total number of ten (10) electrons.

Hence, O^{2-} contains the same number of electrons as an atom of neon.

How much heat is lost when 0.440 mol of steam condenses at 100 °C?
dusya [7]

Answer:

17,890 J

Explanation:

The amount of heat released by a gaseous substance when it condenses is given by the formula

Q=n\lambda_v

where

n is the number of moles of the substance

\lambda_v is the latent heat of vaporization

The formula can be applied if the substance is at its vaporization temperature.

In this problem, we have:

n = 0.440 mol is the number of moles of steam

\lambda_v=40,660 J/mol is the latent heat of vaporization of water

And the steam is already at 100C, so we can apply the formula:

Q=(0.440)(40660)=17,890 J

What is the chemical formula of the salt produced by the neutralization of potassium hydroxide with sulfuric acid?KSO3KSO4K(SO4)
kakasveta [241]

Answer: The salt produced will be K_{2}SO_{4}

Explanation:

During a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base for producing the correspondent salt, and water.

The strong acids release all the protons avalaible when are dissolved, such as sulfuric acid. As you can see, sulfuric acid have 2 protons ready for being released (H_{2}SO_{4}); and those places have to be occcupied for other ions equivalents to the H+: K+ from KOH in this case.

Therefore the answer will be K_{2}SO_{4}.

When you combine chocolate powder and milk, the result is best describe as?
NeX [460]
Answer:

The answer to your question would be substance, but chocolate power mixed into milk would be more of a suspension.

Explanation:

Neither chocolate powder nor milk are elements. They are both complex molecules. Their mixture will not result in the formation of a compound since no chemical reaction will take place.

The molecules of the chocolate powder will simply intermingle with the fatty molecules of the milk to form the substance.

When thoroughly mixed the solution will become homogeneous so there will be no lumps of chocolate power visible. But after time, the chocolate will become visible at the bottom of the clear container in which we asked you to prepare the mixture.

HOPE THIS HELPS :)
