Phosphorous would gain or lose electrons?

1 answer:

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.

CaBr + KOH – Ca(OH), + KBr (balance first) What mass, in grams, of

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

129.73 g of CaBr₂

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

CaBr₂ + 2KOH –> Ca(OH)₂ + 2KBr

Next, we shall determine the mass of CaBr₂ that reacted and the mass of Ca(OH)₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of CaBr₂ = 40 + (80×2)

= 40 + 160

= 200 g/mol

Mass of CaBr₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 200 = 200 g

Molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 40 + 2(16 + 1)

= 40 + 2(17)

= 40 + 34

= 74 g/mol

Mass of Ca(OH)₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 74 = 74 g

SUMMARY :

From the balanced equation above,

200 g of CaBr₂ reacted to produce 74 g of Ca(OH)₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CaBr₂ that react when 48 g of Ca(OH)₂ were produced. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

200 g of CaBr₂ reacted to produce 74 g of Ca(OH)₂.

Therefore, Xg of CaBr₂ will react to produce 48 g of Ca(OH)₂ i.e

Xg of CaBr₂ = (200 × 48)/74

Xg of CaBr₂ = 129.73 g

Thus, 129.73 g of CaBr₂ were consumed.

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a 200-mg sample. (a) Find the mass that remains after t years.

scZoUnD [109]

Given:

Half life(t^ 1/2) :30 years

A0( initial mass of the substance): 200 mg.

Now we know that

A= A0/ [2 ^ (t/√t)]

Where A is the mass that remains after t years.

A0 is the initial mass

t is the time

t^1/2 is the half life

Substituting the given values in the above equation we get

A= [200/ 2^(t/30) ] mg

Thus the mass remaining after t years is [200/ 2^(t/30) ] mg

4. A compact disc has a diameter of 11.8 cm. What is the surface area of the disc in square centimeters? In square meters? [Area

d1i1m1o1n [39]

<span>The surface area is 109.3 square centimeters or 0.01093 square meters. The area formula requires that we use the radius of the disc. We can find the radius by diving the diameter by 2, so radius = 11.8/2 or 5.9 cm. We can use 3.14 as an approximation for Ď€. The surface area is 3.14 * (5.9*5.9). Since the diameter is given in cm, the surface area units are in square centimeters. To convert to meters, divide any measurement in centimeters by 100, but we need to convert to "square" meters, so we need to divide our square centimeters by 100 * 100, or by 10,000. Dividing 109.3 by 10,000 results in 0.01093 square "meters".</span>
