What would occur to cause an atom to be an ion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kupik [55]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:Some atoms become more stable by gaining or losing an entire electron (or several electrons). When they do so, atoms form ions, or charged particles. Electron gain or loss can give an atom a filled outermost electron shell and make it energetically more stable.

What makes an element inert?
ozzi

"The inert gases are obtained by fractional distillation of air, with the exception of helium which is separated from a few natural gas sources rich in this element, through cryogenic distillation or membrane separation. For specialized applications, purified inert gas shall be produced by specialized generators on-site. They are often used by chemical tankers and product carriers (smaller not a big as well as the tendency of inert gases vesselshtop specialized generators are also available for laboratories."

What is oxidized and what is reduced <br> C2H4 + 2O2 → 2CO + 2H2O<br> C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O
Anika [276]

C2H4 is oxidized and O2 is reduced in both reactions.

<h3>What is oxidation/reduction?</h3>

Oxidation is defined in several ways. Some of the definitions are:

  1. The addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen
  2. Increase in the oxidation number of atoms
  3. Addition of electronegative or the removal of electropositive elements

Reduction, on the other hand, is defined as:

  1. Removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen
  2. Decrease in the oxidation number of atoms
  3. Addition of electropositive elements or the removal of electronegative elements.

In the two reactions, oxygen is being added to C2H4. Thus, C2H4 is being oxidized.

The oxidizing agent is O2. In oxidation reactions, the oxidizing agents usually get reduced. Thus, O2 is reduced in both reactions.

A sample of helium has a volume of 50.00 L at STP. How many helium atoms are in the sample? Show work
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

molar volume at STP=22.4 L

given volume=50.0 L

number of moles=given volume/molar volume

number of moles=50.0/22.4

number of moles=2.2

1 mole of helium =6.023*10^23 atoms

2.2 moles of helium =6.023*10^23*2.2=1.3*10^24

therefore 50.0 L of helium contain 1.33*10^24 atoms

The reaction of 5.40 g of carbon with excess O2 yields 13.6 g of CO2. What is the percent yield of this reaction?
vazorg [7]
C + O2= CO2
n  =  \frac{m}{mw}
n =  \frac{5.4}{12}  \\ n  = 0.45 \: mol \: of \: carbon
n =  \frac{13.6}{12 + 16 \times 2} \\ n =  \frac{13.6}{44}  \\ n = 0.31 \: mol \: of \: carbon \: dioxide
CO2 is limit
5.4-3.72= 1.68 g of C is excess
5.4 g = 100%
3.72 g = x
x=68.9 %
