If an atom has 15 protons, 14 neutrons, and 18 electrons, what is the atom's electrical charge?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:By referring to a periodic table or table of elements, we see that phosphorus (symbol P) has an atomic number of 15. Thus, each atom has 15 protons. The mass number of the ion is 15 + 16 = 31. Because the ion has 15 protons and 18 electrons (three more electrons than protons), its net charge is 3-.

Calculate the molarity of the acid solution.<br>H2SO4(aq) with a pH of 2.

Lena [83]

Concentration "molarity" of H₂SO₄ in this solution:

5 × 10⁻³ mol / dm³.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the concentration of H⁺ ions in this solution?

$[\text{H}^{+}] = 10^{-\text{pH}}$ ,

where $[\text{H}^{+}]$ is in the unit mol / dm³.

$\text{pH} = 2$

$[\text{H}^{+}] = 10^{-2} \;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

What's the concentration "molarity" of H₂SO₄ in this solution?

Sulfuric acid H₂SO₄ is a strong acid. Note the subscript "2". Each mole of this acid dissolves in water to produce two moles of H⁺ ions. It takes only $\dfrac{10^{-2}}{2} = 5 \times 10^{-3}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ of H₂SO₄ to produce twice as much H⁺ ions.
