The symbol for copper is CU, which means copper cuprum, the Latin word for copper.

Cu is the symbol and you just add 35 plus 29 to find the atomic mass and 29 is the atomic number because the atomic number is the same as the protons.

See detailed answer with explanation below.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.

Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.

Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.

In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.

The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.

A mixture of 0.10 mol of NO, 0.050 mol of H2, and 0.10 mol of H2O is placed in a 1.0- L vessel at 300 K . The following equilibr

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The concentration of N2 at the equilibrium will be 0.019 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of NO = 0.10 mol

Number of moles of H2 = 0.050 mol

Number of moles of H2O = 0.10 mol

Volume = 1.0 L

Temperature = 300K

At equilibrium [NO]=0.062M

Step 2: The balanced equation

2NO(g) + 2H2(g) → N2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Step 3: Calculate the initial concentration

Concentration = Moles / volume

[NO] = 0.10 mol / 1L = 0.10 M

[H2] = 0.050 mol / 1L = 0.050 M

[H2O] = 0.10 mol / 1L = 0.10 M

[N2] = 0 M

Step 4: Calculate the concentration at the equilibrium

[NO] at the equilibrium is 0.062 M

This means there reacted 0.038 mol (0.038M) of NO

For 2 moles NO we need 2 moles of H2 to produce 1 mol N2 and 2 moles of H2O

This means there will also react 0.038 mol of H2

The concentration at the equilibrium is 0.050 - 0.038 = 0.012 M

There will be porduced 0.038 moles of H2O, this means the final concentration pf H2O at the equilibrium is 0.100 + 0.038 = 0.138 M

There will be produced 0.038/2 = 0.019 moles of N2

The concentration of N2 at the equilibrium will be 0.019 M

Is carbon dioxide a reactant

Harman [31]

Answer: No

Explanation: <em>Reactants</em> are the substances present at the beginning of a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, for example, methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) are the reactants in the chemical reaction. <em>Products </em>are the substances formed by a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the products formed by the reaction.
