Answer:

+3

12 electrons and 15 protons.

Explanation:

The element having 15 electrons and 15 protons have atomic number 15. We know that when an atom lose or gain the electron ions are formed.

Anion formation:

Anion is formed when electron is accept by an atom.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

Cation formation:

Cation is formed when electron lose be an atom.

X → X⁺ + e⁻

The given atom loses 3 electrons thus oxidation number will be +3 and cation is formed.

X → X³⁺ + 3e⁻

Now element X have 15 protons and 12 electrons.

Match the following reactions with the reaction type. You may use each type more than once.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

1) Decomposition

2)Double-replacement reaction

3)synthesis

4)Double-replacement reaction

5)single-replacement reaction

6)Double-replacement reaction

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Synthesis: This is a reaction where two or more reactants will combine to form a new, single product. This is  occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product.  This can be shown with the following equation.

A + B → C

A and B are the reactants to form a new product C

Decomposition: This is a reaction where 1 (more complex) compound will be broken down into 2 or more (more simple)  products.

This can be shown by the following equation:

AB → A + B

A single replacement: This is a reaction where one element wil be replaced by another element in the same compound. This can be shown by the following equation:

A + BC → B + AC

Here is the elemnt B in the compound BC, replaced by the element A, to form a new compound AC

A double-replacement: This is a reaction where the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds will be exchanged and 2 new compounds willbe formed. This can be shown by the following equation:

AB+CD→AD+BC

A combustion reaction requires oxygen gas (O2) to produce the  products CO2 and H2O

Step 2:

1) 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O2(g)

⇒ Decomposition

2) KCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

⇒  Double-replacement reaction

3) 2Na(s) + H2(g) → 2NaH(s)

⇒ synthesis

4) Mg(OH)2(aq) + 2HNO2(aq) → Mg(NO2)2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

⇒  Double-replacement reaction

5) Ca(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

⇒  Single-replacement reaction

6) Al2O3(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Al2(SO4)3(aq) + H2O(l)

⇒  Double-replacement reaction

Can a solution with undissolved solute be supersaturated
Helen [10]

Answer: A supersaturated solution will not contain undissolved solute because the undissolved solute will be indicative of saturated solution.

Explanation:

A supersaturated solution is the one that consists of more than the maximum concentration of the solute in the solvent that is being dissolved at a given temperature. A saturated solution is the one in which the maximum concentration of solute has been dissolved in the solvent and no additional solute can be dissolved further.

According to the given statement, a solution with undissolved solute is a saturated solution rather a supersaturated solution.
