How can you find the number of neutrons that are in an atom of an element

Chemistry
1 answer:
Temka [501]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

You just have to take the periodic table of the elements, take the element that interests you. Then, you look at the formula of the element, at the top left you find the number of neutrons and protons and at the bottom left you find the number of protons. Then you just have to make the number from the top left minus the number from the bottom left.

Choose the statement below that is TRUE. A weak acid solution consists of mostly insoluble acid molecules. The term 'strong elec
lora16 [44]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A weak acid is defined as a substance which dissociates partially into a solvent. This also means that most of the molecules of a weak acid solution remain insoluble in nature.

A solution in which solute particles completely dissociate into ions in a solvent is known as a strong electrolyte.

Whereas a solution in which solute particles partially dissociate into ions is known as a weak electrolyte.

A molecular compound is a covalent compound and as like dissolves like. So, molecular compounds are not soluble in polar solvent like water.

Therefore, we can conclude that the true statement is weak acid solution consists of mostly insoluble acid molecules.

For each of the following balanced oxidation-reduction reactions, (i) identify the oxidation numbers for all the elements in the
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

<h3>1. 10 e⁻</h3>

Oxidation numbers

I₂O₅(s): I (5+); O(2-)

CO(g): C(2+); O(2-)

I₂(s): I(0)

CO₂(g): C(4+); O(2-)

<h3>2. 4 e⁻</h3>

Oxidation numbers

Hg²⁺(aq): Hg(2+)

N₂H₄(aq): N(2-); H(1+)

Hg(l): Hg(0)

N₂(g): N(0)

H⁺(aq): H(1+)

<h3>3. 6 e⁻</h3>

Oxidation numbers

H₂S(aq): H(1+); S(2-)

H⁺(aq): H(1+)

NO₃⁻(aq): N(5+); O(2-)

S(s): S(0)

NO(g): N(2+); O(2-)

H₂O(l): H(1+); O(2-)

Explanation:

In order to state the total number of electrons transferred we have to identify both half-reactions for each redox reaction.

1.  I₂O₅(s) + 5 CO(g) → I₂(s) + 5 CO₂(g)

Oxidation: 10 e⁻ + 10 H⁺(aq) + I₂O₅(s) → I₂(s) + 5 H₂O(l)

Reduction: 5 H₂O(l) + 5 CO(g) → 5 CO₂(g) + 10 H⁺(aq) + 10 e⁻

2. 2 Hg²⁺(aq) + N₂H₄(aq) → 2 Hg(l) + N₂(g) + 4 H⁺(aq)

Oxidation: N₂H₄(aq) → N₂(g) + 4 H⁺(aq) + 4 e⁻

Reduction: 2 Hg²⁺(aq) + 4 e⁻ → 2 Hg(l)

3. 3 H₂S(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) → 3 S(s) + 2 NO(g) + 4H₂O(l)

Oxidation: 3 H₂S(aq) → 3 S(s) + 6 H⁺(aq) + 6 e⁻

Reduction: 8 H⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) + 6 e⁻ → 2 NO(g) + 4 H₂O
