Why can’t an atom lose or gain a proton

Chemistry

Veronika [31]3 years ago

Explanation:

Atoms never gain protons; they become positively charge only by losing electrons. A positive ion is called a cation (pronounced: CAT-eye-on). You may have notice that the number of neutrons in each of these ions was not specified.

Three solutions contain a certain acid. The first contains 10% acid, the second 30%, and the third 50%. A chemist wishes to use
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

To prepare 50L of 32% solution you need: 11L of 30% solution, 22L of 50% solution and 17L of 10% solution.

Explanation:

A 32% solution of acid means 32L of acid per 100L of solution. As the chemist wants to make a solution using twice as much of the 50% solution as of the 30% solution it is possible to write:

2x*50% + x*30% + y*10% = 50L*32%

<em>130x + 10y = 1600 </em><em>(1)</em>

<em>-Where x are volume of 30% solution, 2x volume of 50% solution and y volume of 10% solution-</em>

Also, it is possible to write a formula using the total volume (50L), thus:

<em>2x + x +y = 50L</em>

<em>3x + y = 50L </em><em>(2)</em>

If you replace (2) in (1):

130x + 10(50-3x) = 1600

100x + 500 = 1600

100x = 1100

<em>x = 11L -Volume of 30% solution-</em>

2x = 22L -Volume of 50% solution-

50L - 22L - 11L = 17 L -Volume of 10% solution-

I hope it helps!

What is the coefficient of silver in the final, balanced equation for this reaction?
katovenus [111]

Answer: 3

Explanation:

An oxide-reduction reaction or, simply, redox reaction, is a <u>chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between the reactants</u>, causing a change in their oxidation states, which is the hypothetical electric charge that the atom would have if all its links with different elements were 100% ionic.

For there to be a reduction-oxidation reaction, in the system there must be an element that yields electrons and another that accepts them:

  • The oxidizing agent picks up electrons and remains with a state of oxidation inferior to that which it had, that is, it is reduced.
  • The reducing agent supplies electrons from its chemical structure to the medium, increasing its oxidation state, ie, being oxidized.

To balance a redox equation you must <u>identify the elements that are oxidized and reduced and the amount of electrons that they release or capture, respectively. </u>

In the reaction that arises in the question the silver (Ag) is reduced <u>because it decreases its oxidation state from +1 to 0</u> and the aluminum (Al) is oxidized because <u>its oxidation state increases from 0 to +3</u>, releasing 3 electrons (e⁻). Then we can raise two half-reactions:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag⁰

Al⁰ → Al⁺³ + 3e⁻

In order to obtain the balanced equation, we must multiply the first half-reaction by 3 so that, when both half-reactions are added, the electrons are canceled. In this way:

(Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag⁰ ) x3

Al⁰ → Al⁺³ + 3e⁻               +

-------------------------------------

3Ag⁺ + Al⁰ → 3Ag⁰ + Al⁺³

So, the coefficient of silver in the final balanced equation is 3.
