<h3>Answer:</h3>
162.43 g of FeCl₂
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Step 1: Calculate mass of Fe;
As,
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
Or,
Mass = Density × Volume
Where Volume is the volume of water displaced = 10.4 mL
Putting values,
Mass = 7.86 g.mL⁻¹ × 10.4 mL
Mass = 81.744 g of Fe
Step 2: Calculate amount of FeCl₂;
The balance chemical equation is as follow,
Fe + 2 HCl → FeCl₂ + H₂ ↑
According to this equation,
55.85 g (1 mol) Fe produced = 110.98 g (1 mol) of FeCl₂
So,
81.744 g Fe will produce = X g of FeCl₂
Solving for X,
X = (81.744 g × 110.98 g) ÷ 55.85 g
X = 162.43 g of FeCl₂
The electron configuration for cobalt is:
[Ar] 3d7 4s2
The atoms of elements can gain or lose electrons and become ions. Ions are charged particles that have gained or lost electrons. The atoms of elements can gain or lose electrons to form monatomic ions (made from a single atom of an element).
