How many protons are in an ion with 54 electron and -1 charge?

The correct answer is 53.

It would be neutral if they were both at 53, however, since there's 54 electron, then it becomes negatively electrified and becomes -1. You just delete one number from it and you'll see that it's 53.

In neutral elements , the number of protonsand number of electrons is same element having either a + charge, then the number of protons are greater than the number of electrons.
. As for negative charge
the element has a -1 charge, which means there is one more electron as compared to the number of protons. then conclusion is that number of protons
= 54-1=53 hope this helps

Hydrogen iodide, HI, is formed in an equilibrium reaction when gaseous hydrogen and iodine gas are heated together. If 20.0 g of

Kaylis [27]

Answer: D. 19.9 g hydrogen remains.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

a) moles of $H_2$

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{20.0g}{2g/mol}=10.0moles$

b) moles of $I_2$

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{20.0g}{254g/mol}=0.0787moles$

$H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(g)$

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of $I_2$ require 1 mole of $H_2$

Thus 0.0787 moles of $l_2$ require= $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0787=0.0787moles$ of $H_2$

Thus $l_2$ is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and $H_2$ acts as the excess reagent. (10.0-0.0787)= 9.92 moles of $H_2$ are left unreacted.

Mass of $H_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=9.92moles\times 2.01g/mol=19.9g$
