Answer:

In chemistry and physics, quantum refers to a single packet of matter or energy. In practical use, it refers to the minimum amount of energy required for a change or the minimum value of any physical property in an interaction. Quantum is the singular form of the word. Quanta is the plural form of the term.

Answer:

quantum of energy

Explanation:

The term quantum of energy means that the energy is not transferred continuously but as discrete packets of energy. Amount of energy required to move an electron from one energy level to another. The amount of energy an electron gains or loses is. Not always the same. The higher energy levels are.

A 33.0 mL sample of 1.15 M KBr and a 59.0 mL sample of 0.660 M KBr are mixed. The solution is then heated to evaporate water unt

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

We need 13.06 grams of silver nitrate to precipitate out silver bromide in the final solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Sample 1: The 1.15 M sample has a volume of 33.O mL

Sample 2: The 0.660 M sample has a volume of 59.0 mL

Molar mass of KBr = 119 g/mol

Molar mass of AgNO3 = 169.87 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate number of moles for both samples

Number of moles = Molarity * Volume

Sample 1: 1.15 M * 33 *10^-3 L = 0.03795 moles

Sample 2: 0.660 M *59*10^-3 L = 0.03894 moles

Total mol KBr = 0.03795 + 0.03894 = 0.07689 moles

Step 3: Calculate total mass

mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

mass = 0.07689 moles * 119 g/moles = 9.15 grams ( in 55mL)

Step 4: Calculate moles of AgBr

AgNO3 reacts with KBr

KBr(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → AgBr(s) + KNO3(aq)

1 mole of KBr consumed, needs 1 mole of AgNO3 to produce 1 mole of AgBr and 1 mole of KNO3

So 0.07689 moles of KBr wll need 0.07689 moles of AgNO3

Step 5: Calculate mass of silver nitrate

mass of AgNO3 = Moles of AgNO3 * Molar mass of AgNO3

mass of AgNO3 = 0.07689 moles * 169.87 g/mol = 13.06 grams

We need 13.06 grams of silver nitrate to precipitate out silver bromide in the final solution

Give the o.N. Of each of the elements magnesium and oxygen in the reactants and in the products 2Mg + O2=2MgO

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

$2Mg^0 + O_2^0\rightarrow2Mg^{2+}O^{2-}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the rules for the oxidation states in chemical reactions, it is possible to realize that lone elements have 0 and since magnesium is in group 2A, it forms the cation Mg⁺² as it loses electrons and oxygen is in group 6A so it forms the anion O⁻²; therefore resulting oxidation numbers are:

$2Mg^0 + O_2^0\rightarrow2Mg^{2+}O^{2-}$

Best regards!

Pls help

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

CrO₂ --------------------> Cr⁴⁺ and O²⁻

VCO₃ -------------------> V²⁺ and CO₃²⁻

Cr₂(SO₄)₃ -------------> Cr³⁺ and SO₄²⁻

(NH₄)₂S ----------------> NH₄⁺ and S²⁻

Explanation:

Within ionic compounds, the cation is listed first, followed by the anion. Some of the ions are polyatomic, meaning they are covalently bonded to other elements. Polyatomic ions always have a specific charge.

All of these ionic compounds have an overall charge of 0. As such, the charges of the cations and anions must balance out. In order to do so, there are some compounds which have more than one atom of each ion.

2.) CrO₂

------> Oxygen (O) always forms the anion, O²⁻.

------> Therefore, if there are 2 oxygen anions, the chromium (Cr) must have the cationic form of Cr⁴⁺.

------> +4 + (-2) + (-2) = 0

3.) VCO₃

------> Carbonate (CO₃), a polyatomic ion, always has the state CO₃²⁻.

------> If there is only one atom of each ion, the charges must perfectly balance, making vanadium (V) be the cation V²⁺.

------> +2 + (-2) = 0

4.) Cr₂(SO₄)₃

------> Sulfate (SO₄), a polyatomic ion, always has the state SO₄²⁻.

-------> The only way the charges could balance out is if the chromium (Cr) is in the cationic form Cr³⁺.

------> +3 + 3 + (-2) + (-2) + (-2) = 0

5.) (NH₄)₂S

------> Ammonium (NH₄), a polyatomic ion, always has the state NH₄⁺.

------> Sulfur (S) always forms the anion S²⁻.

------> +1 + 1 + (-2) = 0

Dimas [21]

1. How is the modern periodic table organized? Increasing atomic number

2. What information about an atom's properties can you read from the periodic table? Metal or not metal. Does it want to gain or lose electrons

3. How are the relationships of elements in a group different from the relationships of elements in a period? a group will have similar properties A period will have different properties

4. Would you expect Strontium (Sr) to be more like potassium (K) or bromine (Br)?

potassium

5. Barium (Ba) is in Group 2. Recall that atoms in Group 1 lose one electron to form ions with a 1+ charge. What type of ion does barium form? Ba+2
