What is the charge of a hypothetical ion with 85 protons and 87 electrons?

Chemistry
1 answer:
MaRussiya [10]3 years ago
3 0
There is a charge of -2 on an ion.
A neutral atom always have equal number of protons and electrons. if an atom loses and electron, an ion gets positive charge and if an atom gains electron it gets negative charge.
An atom with 85 protons means it also have 85 electrons but when it gains two electrons it becomes ion and then the number of electrons is 87. So that is why an ion have -2 charge.

How many times more hydroxide ions are there in a solution with a ph of 9 than in a solution with a ph of 3?
cestrela7 [59]
The pH unit has 10x as many hydrogens ions as the unit above.
Ex: A pH of 5 would have 10x more hydrogen ions than a pH of 6 
and 100x more than if it had a pH of 7.
With a pH of 9 and 3, this is equivalent to 10⁶
So your answer should be:
1,000,000
