Atomic number = 127 – 53=74 neutrons
Answer:
(c) only Ca2+(aq) and Hg2+(aq)
Explanation:
- In the first step, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to the solution. In this case the equilibrium that could take place is:
Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) ↔ AgCl(s)
But no precipitate was formed, so Ag⁺(aq) is absent.
- By adding H₂SO₄(aq) the next equilibrium that could take place is:
Ca⁺²(aq) + SO₄⁻²(aq) ↔ CaSO₄(s)
A white precipitate was formed, so Ca⁺² is present in the solution.
- The following could take place after adding H₂S(aq):
Hg²⁺(aq) + S⁻² ↔ HgS(s)
A black precipitate formed, so Hg⁺² is present as well.
3 electrons would be in the 2p orbital
Ions have an extra or lost an electron. Isotopes have different numbers of neutrons.
