<span>Salt is the product formed by a reaction in which the hydrogen atoms of an acid are replaced by the atoms of a metal. The salt is formed as a result of the neutralization of the acid by base, that is the metal or positive ion replace the hydrogen ion in the acid. For instance: NaO + H2SO4 = NaSO4 + H2O. In this example, Na [sodium] has replaced the hydrogen in H2SO4, thereby forming the salt NaSO4.</span>
V(rms) = √(3RT/M)
Where R is the molar gas constant with value 8.314 and T is the temperature in Kelvin and M is the molar mass
v(rms F₂) = √(3 x 8.314 x 304 / 38)
v(rms F₂) = 14.1 m/s
v(rms Cl₂) = √(3 x 8.314 x 304 / 71)
v(rms Cl₂) = 10.3 m/s
v(rms Br₂) = √(3 x 8.314 x 304 / 160)
v(rms Br₂) = 6.88 m/s
Thus, each atom or ion of sulfur must contain 16 protons. We are told that the ion also has 16 neutrons, meaning the mass number of the ion is 16 + 16 = 32. Because the ion has 16 protons and 18 electrons, its net charge is 2–. Thus, the symbol for the ion is 32S2–.
