Given :

An atom Iodine.

To Find :

How many electrons will an iodine atom donate or accept, based on its number of valence electrons :

A.donate seven electrons

B.accept one electron

C.donate one electron

D.accept seven electrons

Solution :

We know, valence electron in Iodine is 7 electrons.

So, it is easy for iodine to accept 1 electron rather than giving all 7 electrons to another element.

Therefore, Iodine will accept one electron ( Option B.).

Hence, this is the required solution.

How many moles of carbon are in 25 grams of carbon

Brut [27]

Answer:

One mole of carbon would look like 25/12.01

Explanation:

Firstly, you will divide 25 by 12.01 and get 2.081598

We know 1 mole equals the gram per atomic mass, so one mole of carbon is 12.01 grams. In conclusion, it would look like 25/12.01.

A 0.879 g sample of a CaCl2 ∙ 2 H2O / K2C2O4 ∙ H2O solid salt mixture is dissolved in 150 mL of deionized water. A precipitate f

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

a. CaCl₂.2 H₂O (aq) + K₂C₂O₄. H₂O (aq) ----> 2 KCl + CaC₂O₄ (s) + 3 H₂0 (l)

b. Ca²+ (aq) + C₂O₄²- (aq) ----> CaC₂O₄ (s)

C. moles of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted in the mixture = 0.00222 moles

d. Mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted = 0.326 g

e. Moles of K₂C₂O₄.2 H₂O reacted = 0.00222 moles

f. Mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O reacted = 0.408 g

g. mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O remaining unreacted = 0.145 g

h. Percent by mass CaCl₂.2 H₂O = 37.1%

Percent by mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O = 62.9%

Explanation:

a. Molecular equation of the reaction is given below :

CaCl₂.2 H₂O (aq) + K₂C₂O₄. H₂O (aq) ----> 2 KCl + CaC₂O₄ (s) + 3 H₂0 (l)

b. The net ionic equation is given below

Ca²+ (aq) + C₂O₄²- (aq) ----> CaC₂O₄ (s)

C. mass CaC₂O₄ produced = 0.284 g, molar mass of CaC₂O₄ = 128 g/mol

moles CaC₂O₄ produced = 0.284 g / 128 g/mol = 0.00222 moles

Mole ratio of CaC₂O₄ and CaCl₂.2 H₂O is 1 : 1, therefore moles of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted in the mixture = 0.00222 moles

d. Mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted in the mixture = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O = 147 g/mol

Mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted = 0.00222 moles × 147 g/mol = 0.326 g

e. Mole ratio of K₂C₂O₄.2 H₂O and CaC₂O₄ is 1 : 1, therefore, moles of K₂C₂O₄.2 H₂O reacted = 0.00222 moles

f. Mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O reacted in the mixture = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O = 184 g/mol

grams K2C2O4-H2O reacted = 0.00222 moles 184 g/mole = 0.408 g

g. Mass of sample = 0.879 g

mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O in sample completely used up = 0.326 g

mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O in sample = 0.879 g - 0.326 g = 0.553 g

mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O remaining unreacted = 0.553 g - 0.408 g = 0.145 g

h. Percent by mass CaCl₂.2 H₂O = 0.326 /0.879 x 100% = 37.1%

Percent by mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O = 0.553/0.879 × 100% = 62.9%
