Answer:

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.

A flexible container at an initial volume of 6.13 L contains 6.51 mol of gas. More gas is then added to the container until it r

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

the final mole of the flexible container = 12.92 moles

Explanation:

Given that :

initial volume of a flexible container = 6.13 L

initial mole of a flexible container = 6.51 mol

final volume of a flexible container = 18.3 L

final mole of a flexible container = ???

Assuming the pressure and temperature of the gas remain constant, calculate the number of moles of gas added to the container.

Therefore,

$n= \dfrac{V_2*n_1}{V_1}$

$n= \dfrac{18.3*6.51}{6.13}$

n = 19.43

$n=n_1+n_2$

19.43 = 6.51 + n₂

n₂ = 19.43 - 6.51

n₂ = 12.92 moles

Thus; the final mole of the flexible container = 12.92 moles

Glucose, a common carbohydrate, is a molecule that contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Complete combustion of a

lesya [120]

The formation of carbondioxide is given by equation as

C + O2 ----> CO2(g)

As per balanced equation one mole of carbondioxide is obtained from one mole of carbon

if 44 g of CO2 is formed it means it contains 12 g of carbon

if 1g of CO2 is formed it means it contains 12/44 g of carbon

if 0.528g of CO2 is formed it means it contains = 12 X 0.528 / 44 g of carbon

= 0.144g of carbon

Similarly for water

H2 + 0.5O2 ---> H2O

so one mole of water is obtained from one mole of H2

if 18g of water is formed it means 2g H2 is present

if 1g of water is formed it means 2/18 g of H2 is present

if 0.216g of water if formed it means 2 X 0.216 / 18g of H2 is present = 0.024g of Hydrogen

In glucose we have Carbon , Hydrogen and oxygen

As given the total mass of sample = 0.360g

Mass of carbon = 0.144 , moles of carbon = 0.144 / 12 = 0.012

Mass of hydrogen = 0.024 , moles of hydrogen = 0.024 /1 = 0.024

mass of oxygen = 0.360 - (0.144+0.024) = 0.192

Moles of oxygen = 0.192 / 16 = 0.012

So mole ratio of C : H : O = 0.012 : 0.024 : 0.012 = 1:2:1

Empirical formula = CH2O

Carbon is important to the structure of macromolecules because it has a valence of 4. what does this mean?

gogolik [260]

The valence part is referring to the outer most ring of electrons. Carbon only has four on the 'valence' or outer most ring helping it to form bonds with other things. I hope this helps!! Good Luck!!! :)

5. A penny weighs about 2.5 g. How many moles of pennies would be required to equal the mass of the moon (7.3x10^24 kg)

schepotkina [342]

5. 1.16 x $10^{26}$ moles moles of pennies would be required to equal the mass of the moon.

6. 12.86 moles of ethanol are in a 750 ml bottle of vodka.

Explanation:

5 .Data given:

mass of penny = 2.5 grams

atomic mass of penny = 62.93 grams/mole

moles present in mass of the moon given as = 7.3 x $10^{24}$ kg

number of moles = $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}$

number of moles = $\frac{2.5}{62.93}$

0.039 moles of penny is present in 2.5 grams

0.039 moles of penny in 2.5 grams of it

so, x moles in 7.3 X $10^{27}$ grams

$\frac{0.039}{2.5} =\frac{x}{7.3 X 10^{27} }$

x = 1.16 x $10^{26}$ moles

so when the mass of the penny given is equal to the mass of moon, number of moles of penny present is 1.1 x $10^{26}$ .

Given:

vodka = 40% ethanol

volume of vodka bottle = 750 ml

moles of ethanol =?

density of ethanol =0.79 g/ml

atomic mass of ethanol = 46.07 grams/mole

so, from the density of ethanol given we can calculate how much ethanol is present in the solution.

density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

density x volume = mass

0.79 x 750 = 592.5 grams

number of moles = $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}$

number of moles of ethanol = $\frac{592.5}{46.07}$

= 12.86 moles of ethanol
