Chemistry
1 answer:
Charra [1.4K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The number of protons and electrons are equal.

Explanation:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral.

How many grams of K2O will be produced from 0.50 g of K<br> and 0.10 g of O2?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

0.6g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of K = 0.5g

Mass of O₂  = 0.10g

Unknown:

Mass of K₂O  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, let us write the reaction equation first;

                   4K   +   O₂     →     2K₂O

The reaction above delineates the balanced chemical reaction.

To solve this problem, we need to know the limiting reactant. This reactant is the one that determines the amount and extent of the reaction because it is given in short supply. The other reactant is the one in excess.

Start off by find the number of moles of the reactant;

     Number of moles =  \frac{mass}{molar mass}

         Molar mas of K  = 39g/mol

          Molar mass of O₂   = 2(16) = 32g/mol

 Number of moles of K  = \frac{0.5}{39}   = 0.013moles

 Number of moles of O₂    = \frac{0.1}{32}   = 0.031moles

From the balanced reaction;

          4 moles of K reacted with 1 mole of O₂

         0.013 moles of K will react with \frac{0.013}{4}   = 0.0078 moles of O₂

We see that oxygen gas is in excess. We were given 0.031moles of the gas but only require 0.0078moles of oxygen gas.

The limiting reactant is potassium.

    therefore;

              4 moles of K produced 2 moles of K₂O

             0.013 moles of K will produce \frac{0.013 x 2}{4}   = 0.0065‬moles of K₂O

to find the mass of K₂O;

   Mass of K₂O  = number of moles x molar mass

                Molar mass of K₂O  = 2(39) + 16  = 94g/mol

  Mass of K₂O = 0.0065 x 94  = 0.6g

Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?
kari74 [83]
The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
