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.

What is the total pressure exerted by a mixture of 48.0 grams of CH4 and 56.0 grams of

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The pressure of the gas is obtained as 48 atm.

<h3>What is the total pressure?</h3>

Now we know that;

Number of moles of CH4 = 48.0 grams /16 g/mol = 3 moles

Number of moles of H2 = 56.0 grams/2 g/mol = 28 moles

Total number of moles present = 3 moles + 28 moles = 31 moles

Using;

PV =nRT

P = total pressure

V = total volume

n = total number of moles

R = gas constant

T = temperature

P = nRT/V

P = 31 * 0.082 * 286/15

P = 48 atm

What is the affect of increasing the water's mass?how does it reflect it's temperature?

Nikolay [14]

I assume what you're asking about is, how does the temperature changes when we increase water's mass, according the formula for heat ?
Well the formula is : $Q=m\cdot c\cdot \Delta t$ (where Q is heat, m is mass, c is specific heat and $\Delta t$ is change in temperature. So according this formula, increasing mass will increase the substance's heat, but won't effect it's temperature since they are not related. Unless, if you want to keep the substance's heat constant, in that case when you increase it's mass you will have to decrease the temperature

PLEASE HELP ME, 20 POINTS

Marrrta [24]

Explanations:

Question 1: Lithium in 20.00+ g is C. or D., but 25.00+ g is D. which means this is the correct option.

I am unsure of Question 2. I don't think it is mole though.

Question 3: Boron in 25.00-30.00 g is B. or D., but 25.00 g would be C.

Question 4: 2.393 x 1024 atoms of Oxygen is 63.58 mole O. I don't know for sure, but I think this is correct.

I am NOT professional. There is a chance I am incorrect. Please reply to me if I've made a mistake.
