Phosphorous would gain or lose electrons?

Chemistry
1 answer:
devlian [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: the valence electron for phosphorus is 5. To achieve an octet electron arrangement, it needs to lose 5 electrons or gain 3 electrons. It is easier to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.

Explanation:

Hope it helps sorry if it doesn't

Jaiden is writing a report about the structure of the atom. In her report, she says that the atom has three main parts and two s
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The smallest constituent of an element is termed as an atom. According to Jaiden, an atom comprises two subatomic particles and three prime parts, however, this is incorrect as an atom comprises three subatomic particles and two main parts. The three subatomic particles are the protons, electrons, and neutrons. All these parts are smaller in comparison to an atom, thus, they are considered as subatomic particles.  

To be considered as an atom, an atom is needed only electrons and neutrons, like hydrogen exhibit one electron and one proton. On the other hand, the overall charge of the atom is not affected by the presence of neutrons, it is the subatomic particle that only enhances the mass of the atom.

El fluoruro de hidrógeno HF que se utiliza en
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

25.6g de HF son producidos

Explanation:

<em>...¿Cuánto HF es producido?</em>

Para resolver este problema debemos convertir la masa de cada reactivo a moles usando su masa molar. Como la reacción es 1:1, el reactivo con menor número de moles es el reactivo limitante. Con las moles del reactivo limitante podemos obtener las moles de HF y su masa así:

<em>Moles CaF2:</em>

Masa molar:

1Ca = 40g/mol

2F = 19*2 = 38g/mol

40+38 = 78g/mol

50g CaF2 * (1mol/78g) = 0.641 moles CaF2

<em>Moles H2SO4:</em>

Masa molar:

2H = 2g/mol

1S = 32g/mol

4O = 64g/mol

98g/mol

100g H2SO4 * (1mol / 98g) = 1.02 moles H2SO4

Como las moles de CaF2 < Moles H2SO4: CaF2 es reactivo limitante.

<em>Moles HF usando la reacción:</em>

0.641 moles CaF2 * (2mol HF / 1mol CaF2) = 1.282 moles HF

<em>Masa HF:</em>

Masa molar:

1g/mol + 19g/mol = 20g/mol

1.282 moles HF * (20g/mol) =

<h3>25.6g de HF son producidos</h3>
