Explanation:
Charges on both magnesium and oxygen is 2. Though opposite in sign, they have equal charges so, both of them will be cancelled by each other.
As a result, formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and not .
The student write the equation as , it is not correct.
Therefore, given equation will be balanced as follows.
Since, number of atoms on both reactant and product side are equal. Hence, this equation is completely balanced.
Explanation:
As a neutral lithium atom contains 3 protons and its elemental charge is given as . Hence, we will calculate its number of moles as follows.
Moles =
=
= 100 mol
According to mole concept, there are atoms present in 1 mole. So, in 100 mol we will calculate the number of atoms as follows.
No. of atoms =
= atoms
Since, it is given that charge on 1 atom is as follows.
=
Therefore, charge present on atoms will be calculated as follows.
Thus, we can conclude that a positive charge of is in 0.7 kg of lithium.
