A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom. For example, the element hydrogen is made from atoms containing just one proton and one electron.

How do i balance the first chemical reaction above?? plz plz help
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

2K +F₂→ 2KF

Explanation:

When we balance an equation, we are trying to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow.

On the left side of the arrow, there is 1 K atom and 2 F atoms. On the right, there is 1 K and 1 F atom.

Since the number of K atoms is currently balanced, balance the number of F atoms.

K +F₂→ 2KF

Now, that the number of F atoms is balanced on both sides, check if the number of K atoms are balanced.

<u>Left</u>

K atoms: 1

F atoms: 2

<u>Right</u>

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The number of K atoms is not balanced.

2K +F₂→ 2KF

<u>Left</u>

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

<u>Right</u>

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The equation is now balanced.

How many chlorine atoms are there in 12.2 g of ccl4? How many chlorine atoms are there in 12.2 of ? 4.77×1022 atoms?
mash [69]

Answer:- 1.91*10^2^3Cl atoms.

Solution:- We have been given the grams of carbon tetrachloride and asked to calculate the number of atoms of chlorine. It is a three step conversion problem. In the first we convert the grams of carbon tetrachloride to moles of it. In second step we convert moles of carbon tetrachloride to moles of chlorine and in the third step we convert the moles of chlorine to atoms of chlorine.

For grams to mole conversion we need the molar mass of the compound. Molar mass of carbon tetrachloride is 153.82 grams per mol. If we look at the formula of carbon tetrachloride then four chlorine are present in it. It means 1 mol of carbon tetrachloride has four moles of chlorine. The calculations are as follows:

12.2gCCl_4(\frac{1molCCl_4}{153.82gCCl_4})(\frac{4molCl}{1molCCl_4})(\frac{6.02*10^2^3Clatoms}{1molCl})

= 1.91*10^2^3Cl atoms

So, there are 1.91*10^2^3Cl atoms in 12.2 grams of CCl_4 .

A sample of gas at 1.10 atm has a volume of 326 mL. What is the new volume if the pressure is changed to 1.90 atm?
Brut [27]

Answer

For this we use ideal gas equation which is:

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = 1.10 atm

V1 = 326 ml

P2 = 1.90

V2 = ?

By rearranging the ideal gas equation:

V2 =  P1V1 ÷ P2

V2 = 1.10 × 326 ÷1.90

V2 = 358.6 ÷ 1.90

V2 = 188.7 ml

Zinc phosphide, Zn3P2, is often used as a rat poison. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. How many valence electrons does each z
Helen [10]
The choices that should have accompanied this question were:
A. 1 
<span>B. 2 </span>
<span>C. 3 </span>
<span>D. 4 
</span>
My answer is B. 2.
Below is an explanation, I found while doing the research.

<span>Phosphate needs 3 electrons each totaling 6 electrons so each zinc will need to give up 2 electrons.

Phosphate wants to imitate the electron configuration of Argon because noble configurations are the most stable. With P getting the extra electrons the valence shell will be 3s2 3p6, which is the same as Argon. Without the extra electrons, the P valence shell looks like this 3s2 3p3, now you can see why each phosphorus wants 3 more electrons, that will make it 3s2 3p6, just like Argon.</span>
