Based on the Lewis/electron dot representation
of the two atoms, predict the ratio of metal
cationic (+) atom to nonmetal anionic (-) atom in the compound

Answers

Answer:

A. 1:3

Explanation:

If we look at the ions shown in the image attached to the question, we will notice that we have aluminum (Al^3+), a trivalent ion combining with the iodide ion (I^-).

Aluminum can easily give out its three outermost electrons to three atoms of iodine. If aluminum gives out its three electrons, it achieves the stable octet structure. Iodine atoms have seven electrons in their outermost shell. They only need one more electrons to complete their octet. This one electron can be gotten by the combination of three iodine atoms with one atom of aluminum. One electron each is transferred from the aluminum atom to each iodine atom to form AlI3 with a ratio of 1:3.

Lewis dot structure is a diagrammatic representation of valence electrons in an atom of a molecule.

The ratio of the cations to anions in the given compound is 1:3.

In the given figure, Aluminum has 3 electrons, which can be donated to iodine. Aluminum has atomic number 13, this means that if the element donates three electrons then it will attain a stable electronic configuration.

In the Iodine atom, each iodine needs only one electron to complete its octet. Thus, three atoms of iodine will be required to gain electrons from aluminum.

Thus, the ratio cation to the anion is 1:3.

hi:) why do acids produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solution?

Answers

Answer:

An acid produces hydrogen ions in aqueous solution because it reacts with the water molecules by giving a proton to them.

Explanation:

When hydrogen chloride gas dissolves in water to produce hydrochloric acid, the hydrogen chloride molecule gives a proton (a hydrogen ion) to a water molecule.

Answer:

Acids produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solution because they have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions than hydroxyl ions and that's the reason too why they have a lower pH.

hi:) how to do 2(bi)?

Answers

Answer:

4 protons, 5 neutrons, 2 electrons

Explanation:

If you look at the numbers beside Be²⁺, the number 9 is the relative atomic mass and the number 4 is the proton (atomic) number. The relative atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons.

Number of protons= proton number.

Hence, number of protons= 4

Number of protons + neutrons= 9

4 + number of neutrons= 9

number of neutrons

= 9 -4

= 5

In an atom, the number of protons and electrons are the same since atoms are electrically neutral. But in an ion, the number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons since the atom gains/ loses electrons to form an ion. A positive sign means that electrons are given away.

Thus, Be gives away 2 electrons to form Be²⁺.

Original number of electrons= 4

Number of electrons in Be²⁺

= 4 -2

= 2

In summary, the number of protons and neutrons in an ion is the same as that of the atom. However, the number of electrons is not the same.

Answer:

Answer:

4 protons, 5 neutrons, 2 electrons

Explanation:

If you look at the numbers beside Be²⁺, the number 9 is the relative atomic mass and the number 4 is the proton (atomic) number. The relative atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons.

Number of protons= proton number.

Hence, number of protons= 4

Number of protons + neutrons= 9

4 + number of neutrons= 9

number of neutrons

= 9 -4

= 5

In an atom, the number of protons and electrons are the same since atoms are electrically neutral. But in an ion, the number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons since the atom gains/ loses electrons to form an ion. A positive sign means that electrons are given away.

Thus, Be gives away 2 electrons to form Be²⁺.

Original number of electrons= 4

Number of electrons in Be²⁺

= 4 -2

= 2

In summary, the number of protons and neutrons in an ion is the same as that of the atom. However, the number of electrons is not the same.

What is the energy of light with a wavelength of 652 nm? (The speed of light in a vacuum is 3.00 x 108 m/s, and Planck's constant is 6.626 x 10-34 J·s.)
O A 3.05 x 10-²⁸ j
O B. 3.28 x 10¹⁸ j
O C. 3.05 x 10-¹⁹ j
D. 3.28 x 10²⁷ j

A and C have negative exponents pleas help me​

Answers

Answer:

C. 3.05 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the light, λ = 652 nm = 652 x 10⁻⁹ m

speed of light, c = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Planck's constant, h = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴J·s

Energy of electromagnetic wave is calculated as;

E = hf

where;

f is frequency of the light wave

f = c / λ

[tex]E = hf = h\frac{c}{\lambda} \\\\E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \\\\E = \frac{6.626*10^{-34}*3*10^8}{652*10^{-9}} \\\\E = 3.05*10^{-19} \ J[/tex]

Therefore, the energy of the light is 3.05 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The correct option is "C"

C. 3.05 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Answer:

Option C. 3.05 x 10¯¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

wavelength (λ) 652 nm = 652x10^–9m

Velocity of light (v) = 3.00x10^8 m/s

Planck's constant (h) = 6.626x10^-34J·s

Step 2:

Determination of the frequency of the light.

The frequency can be obtained as follow

v = λf

3x10^8 = 652x10^–9 x f

Divide both side by 652x10^–9

f = 3x10^8 / 652x10^–9

f = 4.6x10^14s¯¹

Step 3:

Determination of the energy of the light wave.

This can be obtained as follow:

Planck's constant (h) = 6.626x10^-34J·s

Frequency (f) = 4.6x10^14s¯¹

Energy (E) =..?

E = hf

E = 6.626x10^-34 x 4.6x10^14s¯¹

E = 3.05 x 10¯¹⁹ J

An electrical company charges 15 p per unit of energy (kWh).
Calculate the cost of running a 500 W freezer for a day. Show your working.

Answers

Answer:

180 p

Explanation:

Energy refers to the capacity of doing work.

Amount charged by an electrical company = 15 p per unit of energy (kWh)

As 1 W = 1000 kW,

[tex]500W=\frac{500}{1000}kW=0.5\,kW[/tex]

Also, 1 day = 24 hours.

Cost of running a 500 W freezer = 0.5 kW freezer for 1 hour = [tex]15\times 0.5=7.5\,p[/tex]

Therefore,

cost of running a 0.5 kW freezer for a day ( 24 hours ) = [tex]7.5\times 24=180\,p[/tex]

Amount charged by an electrical company = 15 p per unit of energy (kWh)

As 1 W = 1000 kW,

[tex]500W=\frac{500}{1000}kW=0.5\,kW[/tex]

Also, 1 day = 24 hours.

Cost of running a 500 W freezer = 0.5 kW freezer for 1 hour = [tex]15\times 0.5=7.5\,p[/tex]

Therefore,

cost of running a 0.5 kW freezer for a day ( 24 hours ) = [tex]7.5\times 24=180\,p[/tex]

A beaker contains 41.3 mL of pentane ( C5H12 , density is 0.626 g/mL). Determine how many C atoms this liquid contains.

Answers

Answer:

41.3 mL OF PENTANE CONTAINS 62.608 *10^-27 CARBON ATOMS.

Explanation:

Volume of Pentane = 41.3 mL

Density = 0.626 g/mL

Since density is defined as mass per unit volume. Calculate the mass:

Density = mass / volume

Mass = density * volume

Mass = 0.626 g/mL * 41.3 mL

Mass = 0.015 g of pentane

Molar mass of pentane C5H12 = ( 12* 5 + 1*12) = 60 + 12 = 72 g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 0.015 g / 72 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.08 * 10^-4 moles.

Since 1 mole of pentane contains 5 moles of carbon, we can then calculate how many moles of csrbon 2.08*10^-4 moles will contain

1 mole of pentane = 5 moles of carbon

2.08 *10^-4 moles = x moles

x mole = 5 * 2.08*10^-4

x mole = 10.4 *10^-4 moles of carbon

In other words, 10.4*10^-4 moles of carbon is present in 41.3 mL of pentane

We can then calculate the number of carbon atoms present in the liquid using:

From 1 mole containing 6.02 *10^-23 atoms, 10.4 *10^-4 moles of pentane will contain:

1 mole = 6.02*10^-23 atoms

10.4 *10^-4 moles = (6.02*10^-23 * 10.4 *10^-4) atoms of pentane

= 62.608 *10 ^-27 atoms of pentane.

So therefore, 41.3 mL of pentane will contain 62.608 * 10 ^-27 carbon atoms

The number of C atoms in 41.3 mL of pentane (C₅H₁₂) of density 0.626 g/mL is 2.16x10²³.

To find the number of C atoms in pentane, we need to find the number of moles.

We can calculate the mass from the density:

[tex] d = \frac{m}{V} [/tex]

Where:

d: is the density = 0.626 g/mL

V: is the volume = 41.3 mL

The mass is:

[tex] m = d*V = 0.626 g/mL*41.3 mL = 25.85 g [/tex]

Now, with the molecular weight of the pentane, we can calculate the number of moles:

[tex] \eta = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{25.85 g}{72.15 g/mol} = 0.358 \:moles [/tex]

The number of C atoms can be found with Avogadro's number:

[tex] n_{C} = \frac{6.022\cdot 10^{23} \:atoms}{1\:mol}*0.358 \:moles = 2.16 \cdot 10^{23} \:atoms [/tex]

Therefore, the liquid contains 2.16x10²³ C atoms.
