What is the charge on an ion that has an atomic number of 16 and contains 14e-?

The answer would be 2+ since the atomic number represents how many protons are in the element. In this case, there are 16 protons, but only 14 electrons, which means there are an additional 2 protons, hence the 2+ charge on the ion.

A compound contains 57.2 percent carbon, 6.1 percent hydrogen, 9.5 percent nitrogen, and 27.2 percent oxygen. What the empirical
Julli [10]

Answer:

So the empirical formula is C14H18N2O5

Explanation:

C = 57.2% = 12g/mol

H = 6.1% = 1g/mol

N = 9.5% = 14g/mol

O = 27.2% = 16g/mol

Empirical Formula for compound hmm

Assume

C = 57.2g

H = 6.1g

N = 9.5g

O = 27.2g

So we have

C = 57.2g/12g =  4.76  moles

H = 6.1g/1g      =  6.10   moles

N = 9.5g/14g   =  0.68  moles

O = 27.2g/16g =  1.70   moles

Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated.  Round to the nearest whole number.

C =  4.76  moles / 0.68 moles = 7

H = 6.10   moles / 0.68 moles = 9

N = 0.68  moles / 0.68 moles = 1

O = 1.70   moles / 0.68 moles = 2.5

Ok so we now have the ratios but for O it's 2.5, have to be whole numbers so we will need to double all the numbers.

C = 14

H = 18

N =  2

O =  5

So the empirical formula is C14H18N2O5

fluoride is known to prevent tooth decay so it is added to the city water supply for drinking. A medium sized city is populated
Andrews [41]

Given the population of city = 150,000 people

Volume of water consumed by each person = 660.0 L

Total volume consumed in the city every year = 150,000 persons * \frac{660.0L}{1 person*1day}*\frac{365 days}{1 yr}=3.61*10^{10}L/year

The required fluoride concentration is 1.0 ppm

1.0 ppm means 1.0 mg fluoride per liter of water

Calculating the mass of NaF that must be added in kg:

3.61*10^{10} L/year*\frac{1 mg F^{-} }{1 L}*\frac{1g}{1000mg}*\frac{1molF^{-} }{19.00g}*\frac{1 mol NaF}{1 mol F^{-}}*\frac{42g}{1molNaF}*\frac{1kg}{1000g}

                        = 8.0 * 10^{4} kg NaF/year

Write about similarities and the differences of the plant and animal cell
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Mark me as brainliest pls

Explanation:

similarities: Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal element

differences:  A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. ... Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.
