4 0

Explanation:

For example, Identify the number and type of ions formed in a reaction of calcium and carbon. Step 1: Determine the number of valence electrons for each element and whether the element loses or gains electrons. Calcium has 2 valence electrons and is a metal so it will give up two electrons.

You find a compound composed only of element X and chlorine and you know that the compound is 13.10% X by mass. Each molecule of

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

So, the formula for the compound should be:

$XCl_{6}$

Now we assume that we have 1 mol of substance, so we can make calculations to know the molar mass of element X, as follows:

$M_{Cl}=35.45g/mol\\$

So we have that 6 moles weight 212.7g, and we can make a rule of three to know the weight of compound X:

$212.7g\rightarrow 86.9\%\\x\rightarrow 13.1\%\\\\x=\frac{212.7g*13.1}{86.9} =32.06g$

As we used 1 mol, we know that the molar mass is 32.06g/mol

So the element has a molar mass of 32.06 g/mol and an oxidation state of +6, with this information, we can assure that the element X is sulfur, so the compound is $SCl_{6}$

How many electrons will a neon (Ne) atom have when it has no charge?

Darya [45]

Answer:

hope it helps you

Explanation:

Once one shell is full, the next electron that is added has to move to the next shell. So... for the element of NEON, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 10 electrons in a neon atom.

Why can scientists ignore the forces of attraction between particles in a gas under ordinary conditions

Alika [10]

Scientists ignore the forces of attraction between particles in a gas under ordinary conditions because the particles in a gas are apart and moving fast, rather than clustered and moving slow, therefore the forces of attraction are too weak to have a visible effect.

Explain Charles law

kodGreya [7K]

"Charles Law" is the relationship between "volume-temperature" (V ∝ T).

Explanation:

Charles Law is basically volume-temperature relationship (V ∝ T). French scientist “Jacques Charles” in 1787 studied effect of temperature on the volume of gases at constant pressure, which described how gases manage to expand when heated. Law stated as “At constant pressure, the volume of a given "mass" of a gas decreases or increases by 1/273 of its volume at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ for each one degree rise or fall in temperature”. Formula derived from law is as follows: $\mathbf{V}_{\mathbf{t}}=\mathbf{V}_{0}[\mathbf{1}+\mathbf{t} / \mathbf{2} 7 \mathbf{3}]$ here ${V}_{0}$ is volume of given mass of a gas at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ , ${V}_{t}$ is its volume at any temperature $t^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ . Application of Charles law is hot air balloons.
