It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. when an atom is attracted to another atom because it has an unequal number of electrons and protons, the atom is called an ion. if the atom has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion, or anions

Unlike protons, electrons can move from atom to atom. If an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, its net charge is 0. If it gains an extra electron, it becomes negatively charged and is known as an anion. If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is known as a cation.

How many atoms of S are there?

jonny [76]

Atoms of sulfur = 9.60⋅g32.06⋅g⋅mol−1×6.022×1023⋅mol−1 . Because the units all cancel out, the answer is clearly a number, ≅2×1023 as required.

1) A potassium carbonate hydrate has a formula K2CO3.XH2O. 10g of the hydrate leave 7.83g of anhydrous salt upon heating. Deduce

OLEGan [10]

The formula of the hydrated potassium carbonate salt is K₂CO₃.2H₂O

Based on the calculated mass ratio of carbon and oxygen in carbon dioxide, carbon has a fixed composition.

<h3>What are hydrated compounds?</h3>

Hydrated compounds are compounds that contain one or more molecules of water physically combined with a molecule of the compound.

The formula of the hydrated potassium carbonate salt is determined as follows:

Mass of the hydrated sample = 10.0 g

Mass of anhydrous salt = 7.83

mass of water = 10 - 7.83

mass of water = 2.17 g

Molar mass of water = 18.0 g

Molar mass of anhydrous potassium carbonate = 138 g

moles of anhydrous potassium carbonate in sample = 7.83/138

moles of anhydrous potassium carbonate = 0.056 moles

moles of water in the hydrated salt = 2.17/18

moles of water in the hydrated salt = 0.12

Mole ratio of water to anhydrous salt = 0.12/0.056

Mole ratio of water to anhydrous salt = 1 : 2

Formula of hydrated salt = K₂CO₃.2H₂O

The mass ratio of carbon to oxygen in the compounds is given below:

Sample 1:

Mass ratio = 3.62 / (13.26 - 3.62)

Mass ratio = 0.38 : 1

Sample 2:

Mass ratio = 5.91 / (21.66 - 5.91)

Mass ratio = 0.38 : 1

Sample 3:

Mass ratio = 7.07 / (25.91 - 7.07)

Mass ratio = 0.38 : 1

Carbon has a fixed composition.

Hydrochloric acid is the primary component of gastric juice in the stomach (see Chemistry in Action: GERD-Too Much Acid or Not E

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Acid: HCl(aq), conjugate base: Cl⁻(aq)

Base: CO₃⁻²(aq), conjugate acid: HCO₃⁻(aq)

The rewrite reaction is shown below.

Explanation:

The acid compound is the one that loses an H⁺, and the compound formed when it happens is its conjugate base. The base compound is the acceptor of H⁺, and its conjugate acid is the compound formed (Brosted-Lowry theory).

So, the acid-base pairs are:

Acid: HCl(aq), conjugate base: Cl⁻(aq)

Base: CO₃⁻²(aq), conjugate acid: HCO₃⁻(aq)

The TUMS® is an antacid, so it intends to reduce the concentration of the strong acid HCl. So, the forward reaction is favored. It can be represented with the forward arrow larger than the reversible arrow, as shown in the image below.
