Answer:

A neutral atom of Cobalt (Co) has an atomic number of 27 and an atomic mass of 59. Therefore, Co has 27 electrons, 27 protons and 32 neutrons.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

The atomic number Co is 27 it means it has 27 protons and 27 electrons.

The mass number is sum of protons and neutrons, thus number of neutrons are

59 - 27 = 32 neutrons

Aqua regia, a mixture of HCl and HNO₃, has been used since alchemical times to dissolve many metals, including gold. Its orange

marissa [1.9K]

Aqua regia is an oxidative mixture that is highly corrosive and is composed of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. The Ea (rev) for the reaction is 3 kJ.

<h3>What is activation energy?</h3>

The activation energy is the minimum required energy by the reactant to undergo changes to form the product. The activation energy of the reverse reaction is given by the difference in the production state and transition state.

It is given as,

Ea (rev) = Ea (fwd) − ΔHrxn

Given,

ΔH° = 83KJ

Ea (fwd) = 86 kJ/mol

Substituting the values above as:

Ea (rev) = 86 - 83

= 3 kJ

Therefore, the activation energy of the reverse reaction is 3 kJ.

The chemical equation shows iron(III) phosphate reacting with sodium sulfate. 2FePO4 + 3Na2SO4 Fe2(SO4)3 + 2Na3PO4 What is the t

slava [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of iron(III) sulfate is 26.6 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of iron(III) phosphate = 20.00 g

Molar mass of iron(III) phosphate = 150.82 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of iron(III) phosphate}=\frac{20g}{150.82g/mol}=0.133mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$2FePO_4+3Na_2SO_4\rightarrow Fe_2(SO_4)_3+2Na_3PO_4$

As, sodium sulfate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, iron(III) phosphate is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron(III) phosphate produces 1 mole of iron(III) sulfate

So, 0.133 moles of iron(III) phosphate will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.133=0.0665moles$ of iron(III) sulfate

Now, calculating the mass of iron(III) sulfate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron(III) sulfate = 399.9 g/mol

Moles of iron(III) sulfate = 0.0665 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0665mol=\frac{\text{Mass of iron(III) sulfate}}{399.9g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of iron(III) sulfate}=(0.0665mol\times 399.9g/mol)=26.6g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of iron(III) sulfate is 26.6 grams
