How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does the following isotope contain? ^{18} \text{F}^{-} 18 F −
melomori [17]
Isotope ¹⁸F⁻ contains:
1) p⁺ = 9; number of protons.
Fluorine has a<span>tomic number Z = 9 (total number of protons).
2) e</span>⁻<span> = 10; </span>number of electrons.<span>
In element number of electrons and protons are the same, because element has neutral charge, but because in this example, fluorine is anion with negative charge, it has one electron more.
3) n</span>° = 9; number of neutrons.
<span>Mass number A = 18 is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus, so number of neutrons is A-Z = 18-9=9.</span>

If the decomposition of a sample of k c l o 3 kclox3 produces 3. 29 g of o 2 ox2 , what was the mass (g) of the original sample?
____ [38]

The mass (g) of the original sample after decomposition is 8.3983 g.

A decomposition reaction can be described as a chemical reaction wherein one reactant breaks down into or extra merchandise.

explanation:

Reaction          2KClO₃ ⇒ 2KCl + 3O₂

moles               2               2            3

molar mass    122.55        74.55    32

Given, Mass of O₂ = 3.29g ⇒ moles of O₂

                                            =  (3.29/32) = 0.1028

3 moles of O₂  produced by 2 moles of KClO₃

Therefore, 0.1028 moles of O₂  produced by (2*0.1028/3) = 0.06853 moles of Kclo₃

Mass of KClo₃ in original sample is = moles * molar mass

                                                        = 0.06853 * 122.55

                                                       = 8.3983 g

A decomposition response occurs whilst one reactant breaks down into or extra merchandise. this may be represented through the general equation: XY → X+ Y. Examples of decomposition reactions consist of the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen, and the breakdown of water to hydrogen and oxygen.

What is the total number of ions in one formula unit of (NH4)2CO3?
Len [333]

There are 3  ions in one formula unit of (NH4)2CO3.

Ions present in  Ammonium carbonate.(NH4)2CO3

(NH4)2CO3 is called Ammonium carbonate. The formula indicates that in one mole of ammonium carbonate, There are

  • Two moles of ammonium ions,NH₄⁺ with valency of +1.
  • 1 mole of Carbonate ions  CO₃²⁻  with valency of -2.

When 1 mole of ammonium carbonate is dissolved in water it gives

(NH₄)₂CO₃   ₊  H₂O---->2NH₄⁺    ₊  CO₃²⁻

Ions present are 2NH₄⁺   and CO₃²⁻
