It has 85 electrons, because an element always has the same number of electrons and protons

If element X has 85 protons, then it has 85 electrons.
No matter what element it is, there will ALWAYS be the same amount of protons as there are electrons.

By the way, thanks for asking this question. I just learned this yesterday, so it gave me a way to show what I learned.

How many protons do atoms of lead have?

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: exactly 82 protons

Explanation:

Since lead has 82 protons the number of neutrons in an atom of lead-204 is 204-82=122. Similarly, lead-206 has 124 neutrons, lead-207 has 125 neutrons and lead-208 has 126 neutrons.

You welcome :)

Is oxygen a beginning substance or ending substance?

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Explanation:

The substances that are present at the beginning are called reactants and the substances present at the end are called products. Sometimes when reactants are put into a reaction vessel, a reaction will take place to produce products. Reactants are the starting materials, that is, whatever we have as our initial ingredients.Oxygen, a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas essential to living organisms, being taken up by animals, which convert it to carbon dioxide; plants, in turn, utilize carbon dioxide as a source of carbon and return the oxygen to the atmosphere. Oxygen forms compounds by reaction with practically any other element.

An electrochemical cell is composed of pure nickel and pure iron electrodes immersed in solutions of their divalent ions at room

Andrej [43]

Answer:

0.758 V.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, case when we include the effect of concentration on an electrochemical cell, we need to consider the Nerst equation at 25 °C:

$E=E\°-\frac{0.0591}{n} log(Q)$

Whereas n stands for the number of moles of transferred electrons and Q the reaction quotient relating the concentration of the oxidized species over the concentration of the reduced species. In such a way, we can write the undergoing half-reactions in the cell, considering the iron's one is reversed because it has the most positive standard potential so it tends to reduction:

$Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe^0\ \ \ E\°=0.440V\\\\Ni^0\rightarrow Ni^{2+}+2e^-\ \ \ E\°=-0.250V$

It means that the concentration of the oxidized species is 0.002 M (that of nickel), that of the reduced species is 0.40 M and there are two moles of transferred electrons; therefore, the generated potential turns out:

$E=(0.440V+0.250V)-\frac{0.0591}{2} log(\frac{0.002M}{0.40M} )\\\\E=0.758V$
