An element X that has 15 protons and 15 electrons, loses three

Chemistry
1 answer:
Wewaii [24]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Compare<br> Ion and Radical<br> Atom and molecule<br> Organic and inorganic compounds
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

'An ion has a non-zero electric charge. A radical has an atom with unfilled electron shells and so is very reactive, but is electrically neutral.'

'Atoms are single neutral particles. Molecules are neutral particles made of two or more atoms bonded together.'

'The primary difference that lies between these organic compounds and inorganic compounds is that organic compounds always have a carbon atom while most of the inorganic compounds do not contain the carbon atom in them.'

Fe2O3 + CO → Fe + CO2 If 2 moles of Fe2O3 react with 9 moles of CO, how many moles of each product are formed?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: B. 4 moles Fe and 3 moles CO2

Explanation:

write a balanced chemical reaction

that is FeO3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3CO2

2 moles of Fe2O3 reacted with 3 x2=6 moles of Co to form Fe and CO2 therefore CO was in excess and Fe2O3 was limiting reagent.

use the mole ratio to determine the moles of each product.

that is the mole ratio 0f Fe2O3 : Fe is 1:2 therefore the moles of Fe = 2x2=4 moles

the mole ratio of Fe2CO3 : CO2 is 1: 3 therefore the moles of Co2 = 2 x3 = 6 moles

Are Molar Mass and Molecular Mass the same thing? If they are different, then why are they used interchangeably?
exis [7]

At this point there are two answers:  one says that there is no difference, except for the units;  the molecular weight (MW) is the mass of one molecule, while a molar mass is the mass of a mole (6.02 x 10 ^ 23) of molecules.

While in certain contexts both statements can be shown to be true, I'm not sure these answers really provide you with the insight you're looking for.

So, we'll look at your question from a different perspective.   Take a real example, something simple like water.  Water has a nominal MW of 18 (so we'll use nominal precision for simplicity, instead of the 4-places often used for these types of calculations).

The MW of water (formula = H2O) is the weight of one atom of oxygen, which = 16 amu [8-neutrons at 1 amu each plus 8 protons at 1 amu each = 16 amu), plus two atoms of hydrogen, at 1 proton (1 amu) each.  Normal everyday hydrogen has no neutrons.  So for H2O, we have a total molecular weight of 18 amu.

From the CRC reference book we find that one amu weighs 1.66 x 10 ^--24 grams.  Multiplying the two and in keeping with the two units of precision we're working with, one molecule of water has a mass of  29.8 x 10^-24g, or [3.0 x 10 ^ -23 g] per molecule of water.

A Mole is simply Avagadro's number (6.02 x 10 ^ 23) of anything... protons, baseballs, whatever.  The term Molar Mass in chemistry refers to the mass of a mole of molecules.  So in this case a molar mass of water molecules is Avagadro's number of them, the mass therefore being [6.02 x 10 ^ 23] x 3.0 x 10 ^ -23 g/ molecule] =  18.0 g

Summarizing:

Molecular Weight is the weight given in amu of an atom or molecule.  For H2O, the MW is 18 amu or 3.0 x 10 ^ -23 g.

Molar Weight is the weight, usually in grams of 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 measurements which happens to be equal to the MW of the molecule (or atomic wt. of the atom) , and for water is 18.0 g.

So, while MW and molar weight are related, their absolute values are magnitudes apart.
