What is the most likely charge on an ion formed by an element with a valence electron configuration of ns2np4

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

2-

Explanation:

For an element to be stable, it must follow the octet rule: an atom will gain, lose or share electrons until its valence shell is complete with 8 electrons.

An element with the valence electron configuration ns²np⁴ has 6 (2+4) electrons in its valence shell. Thus, in order to fulfill the octet, it will gain 2 electrons. As a consequence, it will form an anion with charge 2-.

15.50 g of NH4Cl reacts with an excess of AgNO3. In the reaction 35.50 g AgCl is produced. what is the theoretical yield of AgCl
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 41.6 g of AgCl

Explanation:

Data

mass of NH₄Cl = 15.5 g

mass of AgNO₃ = excess

mass of AgCl = 35.5 g

theoretical yield = ?

Process

1.- Write the balanced chemical reaction.

              NH₄Cl  +  AgNO₃   ⇒   AgCl  +  NH₄NO₃

2.- Calculate the molar mass of NH₄Cl and AgCl

NH₄Cl = 14 + 4 + 35.5 = 53.5 g

AgCl = 108 + 35.5 = 143.5 g

3.- Calculate the theoretical yield

                 53.5 g of NH₄Cl -------------------- 143.5 g of AgCl

                  15.5 g of NH₄Cl  -------------------    x

                         x = (15.5 x 143.5) / 53.5

                         x = 2224.25 / 53.5

                         x = 41.6 g of AgCl
