5. What is the charge of an atom that has lost four electrons? *

Chemistry

Mashcka [7]2 years ago

Answer:

+4

Explanation:

An atom is considered to be neutral before losing or gaining any electrons. They are neutral in charge because they initially have the same number of protons (with charge of +1 each) and electrons (with a charge of -1 each).

Consider charge in an electron like a balance, with positively charged protons on one side and negatively charged electrons on the other. When you have the same number of each, there is equal amounts of positive and negative charge so the atom is neutral with a charge of zero.

For example, potassium has 19 protons, and 19 electrons. This means it has

19 positive charges and 19 negative charges. If you take away one electron, it now has 19 positive charges and 18 negative charges. So there is one more positive charge than negative, which means it is now an ion (a charged atom) with a charge of +1. If you take away two electrons the charge becomes +2... 4 electrons the charge becomes +4.

anygoal [31]

Answer : The enthalpy of the given reaction will be, -1048.6 kJ

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

The main reaction is:

XCl_4(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow XO_2(s)+4HCl(g)    \Delta H=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reactions are:

(1) H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(g)     \Delta H_1=-241.8kJ

(2) X(s)+2Cl_2(g)\rightarrow XCl_4(s)    \Delta H_2=+461.9kJ

(3) \frac{1}{2}H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}Cl_2(g)\rightarrow HCl(g)    \Delta H_3=-92.3kJ

(4) X(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow XO_2(s)    \Delta H_4=-789.1kJ

(5) H_2O(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)    \Delta H_5=-44.0kJ

Now reversing reaction 2, multiplying reaction 3 by 4, reversing reaction 1 and multiplying by 2, reversing reaction 5 and multiplying by 2 and then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) 2H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)     \Delta H_1=2\times 241.8kJ=483.6kJ

(2) XCl_4(s)\rightarrow X(s)+2Cl_2(g)    \Delta H_2=-461.9kJ

(3) 2H_2(g)+2Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4HCl(g)    \Delta H_3=4\times -92.3kJ=-369.2kJ

(4) X(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow XO_2(s)    \Delta H_4=-789.1kJ

(5) 2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)    \Delta H_5=2\times 44.0kJ=88.0kJ

The expression for enthalpy of main reaction will be:

\Delta H=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3+\Delta H_4+\Delta H_5

\Delta H=(483.6)+(-461.9)+(-369.2)+(-789.1)+(88.0)

\Delta H=-1048.6kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy of the given reaction will be, -1048.6 kJ

If 42.7 of 0.208 M hydrochloric acid are needed to completely neutralize a solution of calcium hydroxide, how many grams of calc
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

0.329 g

Explanation:

In the context of this problem, we have a chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium hydroxide. HCl is the acid here and calcium hydroxide is the base. Hence, we have an acid-base reaction, also known as neutralization reaction.

In a neutralization reaction, water is produced as a product, as well as a salt that we obtain after we exchange the cations: calcium bonds to chloride and hydrogen bonds to hydroxide (the latter is the formation of water). This means we also produce calcium chloride as a product. The overall reaction represents this as:

Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2 HCl (aq)\rightarrow CaCl_2 (aq)+2 H_2O (l)

Firslt of all, we wish to find the number of moles of HCl present. Having molarity and volume, this is done by applying the molarity formula. It states that molarity is equal to the rate between moles and volume:

c_{HCl}=\frac{n_{HCl}}{V_{HCl}}

Rearranging for moles of HCl, n:

n_{HCl}=c_{HCl}V_{HCl}

Based on stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation, notice that 1 mole of calcium hydroxide reacts with 2 moles of HCl, meaning:

n_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2} n_{HCl}=\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}

Now that we have the expression for moles, we may also express moles of calcium hydroxide as the ratio between its mass and molar mass:

n_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{m_{Ca(OH)_2}}{M_{Ca(OH)_2}}

Using the last two equations, we see that:

\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}=\frac{m_{Ca(OH)_2}}{M_{Ca(OH)_2}}\\\therefore m_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}M_{Ca(OH)_2}

Substitute the given data, as well as the molar mass of calcium hydroxide:

m_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2}\cdot0.208 M\cdot0.0427 L\cdot74.093 g/mol=0.329 g

How mant grams are there in 7.15 x 10^24 molecules of water?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

B. 214.02

Explanation:

1 mol of water weighs 18.015 gm and contains 6.023 × 10²³ molecules

From question, We have 7.15 × 10²⁴ molecules

Dividing we get (7.15 × 10 ²⁴) ÷ ( 6.023 × 10²³) = 11.871 molecules

Now, Weight of water = 11.871 × 18.015 = 213.85 which is nearer to option B
