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

1 answer:

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 grams of KCl are there for in 10 moles of salt?

galben [10]

Your first step is determining how many gram of KCl are in every mole of KCl. This can be done by simply looking at K and Cl's atomic mass on the Periodic Table. You add K's atomic mass (39.1g) with Cl's atomic mass (35.45g) to determine that the mass of one mole of KCl is 74.55g. Because you have 10 moles of KCl you multiply 74.55g by 10 to reach your answer of 745.5g.

When 1.2383 g of an organic iron compound containing Fe, C, H, and O was burned in O2, 2.3162 g of CO2 and 0.66285 g of H2O were

uysha [10]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{C$_{15}$H$_{21}$FeO$_{6}$}}$

Explanation:

Let's call the unknown compound X.

1. Calculate the mass of each element in 1.23383 g of X.

(a) Mass of C

$\text{Mass of C} = \text{2.3162 g } \text{CO}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{12.01 g C}}{\text{44.01 g }\text{CO}_{2}}= \text{0.632 07 g C}$

(b) Mass of H

$\text{Mass of H} = \text{0.66285 g }\text{H$_{2}$O}\times \dfrac{\text{2.016 g H}}{\text{18.02 g } \text{{H$_{2}$O}}} = \text{0.074 157 g H}$

(c)Mass of Fe

(i)In 0.4131g of X

$\text{Mass of Fe} = \text{0.093 33 g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}\times \dfrac{\text{111.69 g Fe}}{\text{159.69 g g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}} = \text{0.065 277 g Fe}$

(ii) In 1.2383 g of X

$\text{Mass of Fe} = \text{0.065277 g Fe}\times \dfrac{1.2383}{0.4131} = \text{0.195 67 g Fe}$

(d)Mass of O

Mass of O = 1.2383 - 0.632 07 - 0.074 157 - 0.195 67 = 0.336 40 g

2. Calculate the moles of each element

$\text{Moles of C = 0.63207 g C}\times\dfrac{\text{1 mol C}}{\text{12.01 g C }} = \text{0.052 629 mol C}\\\\\text{Moles of H = 0.074157 g H} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol H}}{\text{1.008 g H}} = \text{0.073 568 mol H}\\\\\text{Moles of Fe = 0.195 67 g Fe} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Fe}}{\text{55.845 g Fe}} = \text{0.003 5038 mol Fe}\\\\\text{Moles of O = 0.336 40} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}}{\text{16.00 g O}} = \text{0.021 025 mol O}$

3. Calculate the molar ratios

Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.

$\text{C: } \dfrac{0.052629}{0.003 5038}= 15.021\\\\\text{H: } \dfrac{0.073568}{0.003 5038} = 20.997\\\\\text{Fe: } \dfrac{0.003 5038}{0.003 5038} = 1\\\\\text{O: } \dfrac{0.021025}{0.003 5038} = 6.0006$

4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer

C:H:O:Fe = 15:21:1:6

5. Write the empirical formula

$\text{The empirical formula is } \boxed{\textbf{C$_{15}$H$_{21}$FeO$_{6}$}}$

All atoms of the same element:

34kurt

Answer:

have the same number of protons

Explanation:

Atoms of the same element will always have the same number of protons.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom which are located in the nucleus.

To recognize an atom, the number of protons is used.
The number of protons is the atomic number.
On the periodic table, atoms are arranged based on the number of protons.
