Answer:

it is called an ion

Explanation:

if it gains electrons then it is an anion

if it gains protons it is a cation

typically non metals are anions and metals are cations

If 3.89 × 1024 atoms of a noble gas is collected and it has a mass of of 848 grams, this element is most likely a. He b. Ne c. A
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Xenon

Explanation:

Avogadro’s number represent the number of the constituent particles which are present in one mole of the substance. It is named after scientist Amedeo Avogadro and is denoted by N_0.

Avogadro constant:-

N_a=6.023\times 10^{23}

Let the molar mass of the element is x g/mol

So,

6.023\times 10^{23} atoms have a mass of x g

Also,

3.89\times 10^{24} atoms have a mass of \frac{x}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\times 3.89\times 10^{24} g

This mass is equal to 848 g

So,

\frac{x}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\times 3.89\times 10^{24}=848

x= 131.3 g/mol

This mass correspond to xenon.

Protactinium has 516 years of half life how many decays will it go through to become 1/64th of the substance? ,
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

  • 6 decays

Explanation:

Each half life period reduced the amount of substance by half

  • 64 = 2⁶
  • 1/64 = (1/2)⁶

So 6 of half life cycles or decays will go.

Balance each of the following redox reactions occurring in acidic aqueous solution.
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Part A : Zn(s) + Sn²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Sn(s).

Part B : 3Mg(s) + 2Cr³⁺(aq) → 3Mg²⁺(aq) + 2Cr(s).

Part C: 3MnO₄⁻ + 24H⁺ + 5Al → 5Al³⁺ + 3Mn²⁺ + 12H₂O.

Explanation:

<em>Part A : Zn(s) + Sn²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Sn(s), Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer. </em>

  • It is balanced as written: Zn(s) + Sn²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Sn(s).

The two half reactions are:

The oxidation reaction: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e.

The reduction reaction: Sn²⁺(aq) + 2e → Sn(s).

  • To obtain the net redox reaction, we add the two-half reactions as the no. of electrons in the two-half reactions is equal.

So, the net chemical equation is:

<em>Zn(s) + Sn²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Sn(s).</em>

<em>Part B: Mg(s) + Cr³⁺(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + Cr(s), Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer. </em>

  • To balance and write the net chemical equation, we should write the two-half reactions:

The two half reactions are:

The oxidation reaction: Mg(s) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e.

The reduction reaction: Cr³⁺(aq) + 3e → Cr(s).

  • To obtain the net redox reaction, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 3 (3Mg(s) → 3Mg²⁺(aq) + 6e) and the reduction reaction by 2 (2Cr³⁺(aq) + 6e → 2Cr(s)) to equalize the no. of electrons in the two-half reactions.

So, the net redox reaction will be:

<em>3Mg(s) + 2Cr³⁺(aq) → 3Mg²⁺(aq) + 2Cr(s).</em>

<em>Part C : MnO⁴⁻(aq) + Al(s) → Mn²⁺(aq) + Al³⁺(aq), Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.</em>

  • To balance and write the net chemical equation, we should write the two-half reactions:

The two half reactions are:

The oxidation reaction: Al → Al³⁺ + 3e.

The reduction reaction: MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O.

  • To obtain the net redox reaction, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 5 (5Al → 5Al³⁺ + 15e) and the reduction reaction by 3 (3MnO₄⁻ + 24H⁺ + 15e → 3Mn²⁺ + 12H₂O) to equalize the no. of electrons in the two-half reactions.

So, the net redox reaction will be:

<em>3MnO₄⁻ + 24H⁺ + 5Al → 5Al³⁺ + 3Mn²⁺ + 12H₂O.</em>
