Answer:

5

Explanation:

A lithium atom with an atomic number of 3 and a charge of -2 will have a total number of electrons.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. For a neutral atom that has not gained or lost electrons, the atomic number is the same as the number of electrons.

   neutral atom: atomic number of electrons

For neutral atom of lithium, we will have 3 electrons

Now, lithium with a charge of -2 has gained two more electrons to the original 3 this now makes it 5.

ii.

It is an anion because it is negatively charged.

Negatively charged particles are called anion.

An aqueous 0.300 M glucose solution is prepared with a total volume of 0.150 L. The molecular weight of
Rudik [331]

Answer:

8.11g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Molarity of aqueous solution = 0.3M

total volume  = 0.15L

Molecular weight of glucose  = 180.6g/mol

Unknown:

Mass of glucose needed in the solution = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to understand molarity.

Molarity is the number of moles of solute in a given volume of solution. In this problem, the solute here is the glucose and the solvent is water.

      Molarity  = \frac{number of moles of solute}{volume of solution}

A solution is made up of solute and solvent.

   now, let us solve for the number of moles of the solute which is glucose;

   Number of moles of glucose  = molarity x volume of solution;

                                                      = 0.3 x 0.15

                                                      = 0.045mole

Now to find the mass of glucose;

        mass of glucose  = number of moles x molar mass

             input the parameters;

       

         Mass of glucose  = 0.045  x 180.16 = 8.11g

Given the following balanced equation, determine the rate of reaction with respect to [SO3]. If the rate of O2 loss is 3.56 x 10
Olenka [21]

Answer:

7.12 × 10⁻³ M/s

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced reaction

2 SO₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2 SO₃

Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio

According to the balanced equation, the molar ratio of O₂ to SO₃ is 1:2.

Step 3: Calculate the rate of formation of SO₃

The rate of loss of O₂ is 3.56 × 10⁻³ mol O₂/L.s. The rate of formation of SO₃ is:

3.56 × 10⁻³ mol O₂/L.s. × 2 mol SO₃/1 mol O₂ = 7.12 × 10⁻³ mol SO₃/L.s
