The Oxygen ion (O2-) has 8 protons and 10 electrons

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>An atom  </h3>
  • An atom is defined as the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
  • Atoms are made of energy shells and the inner nucleus.
  • It is also made up of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons.
<h3>Neutrons  </h3>
  • They are sub-atomic particles in an atom that are found in the nucleus of an atom.
  • The number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus of an atom results to the atomic mass number of an atom.
<h3>Protons</h3>
  • Protons are subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom.
  • The number of protons differ from one element to another and thus used as the atomic number of an individual element.
<h3>Electrons  </h3>
  • They are found orbiting the nucleus on energy shells based on Clouds’ theory.
  • The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are equal.
  • Electrons are the only sub-atomic particles that take part in chemical reactions.
<h3>Ions </h3>
  • Ions are formed as a result of gaining or loosing of electrons by a atom to attain a stable configuration based on the octet rule.
<h3>Cations </h3>
  • Cations are type of ions that are formed when an atom looses electrons to form a stable configuration. Cations are positively charged.
  • For example, a neutral sodium atom (Na) looses one electron to form sodium ion (Na+) which is a cation.
  • Which means, a neutral sodium atom has 11 electrons and 11 protons while a sodium ion has 10 electrons and 11 protons.
<h3>Anions </h3>
  • Anions are type of ions that are formed when an atom of an element gains electrons. They are negatively charged.
  • For example, a neutral oxygen atom (O) gains two electrons to form oxygen ion (O2-) which is an anion.
  • Therefore, a neutral oxygen atom has 8 electrons and 8 protons while an oxygen ion has 10 electrons and 8 protons.

The protons in an nucleus of an atom will not change unless a nuclear reaction takes place. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element. For a neutral atom, the number of electrons and protons are equal. When they are unequal, then the atom occurs as an ion. It will has a net charge with it. The ion O²⁻ has a net charge of negative positive 2 because it has 2 more electrons than its protons. Since neutral oxygen has 8 protons, then O²⁻ ion has 8 protons and 10 electrons.

A solution contains 10.0 g pentane, C5H12, 20.0 g hexane, C6H14, and 10.0 g benzene, C6H6. What is the mole fraction of hexane?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

b) 0.47

Explanation:

MwC5H12 = 72.15g/mol

⇒mol C5H12 = (10.0)*(mol/72.15)=0.1386molC5H12

MwC6H14=86.18g/mol

⇒molC6H14=(20.0)*(mol/86.18)=0,232

MwC6H6=78.11g/mol

⇒molC6H6=(10.0)*(mol/78.11)=0.128molC6H6

<h3>XC6H14=(0.232)/(0.1386+0.232+0,128)=0.465≅0.47</h3>

2Na2O2 + 2CO2 → 2Na2CO3 + O2
ahrayia [7]

the actual yield is the amount of Na₂CO₃ formed after carrying out the experiment

theoretical yield is the amount of Na₂CO₃ that is expected to be formed from the calculations

we need to first find the theoretical yield

2Na₂O₂ + 2CO₂ ---> 2Na₂CO₃ + O₂

molar ratio of Na₂O₂ to Na₂CO₃ is 2:2

number of Na₂O₂ moles reacted is equal to the number of Na₂CO₃ moles formed

number of Na₂O₂ moles reacted is - 7.80 g / 78 g/mol = 0.10 mol

therefore number of Na₂CO₃ moles formed is - 0.10 mol

mass of Na₂CO₃ expected to be formed is - 0.10 mol x 106 g/mol = 10.6 g

therefore theoretical yield is 10.6 g

percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield  x 100%

81.0  % = actual yield / 10.6 g x 100 %

actual yield = 10.6 x 0.81

actual yield = 8.59 g

therefore actual yield is 8.59 g

The chemical equation below shows the burning of magnesium (Mg) with oxygen (O2) to form magnesium oxide (MgO). 2Mg + O2 Right a
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

64.0

Explanation:

2Mg+O2 ---> 2MgO

use dimentional analysis to find the amount of moles of O2 needed first

4.00molMg x 1.00mol O2/ 2.00 mol Mg=. 2.00 mol O2

using the coefficients you can see the mole ratio for O2:Mg the mole ratio is 1:2 which is why there is 1 mole on the top for 2 moles on the bottom. The Mg would cancel and multiply 4 by 1 then divide by 2, or multipy 4 by 1/2

Now that you have the moles of O2 you use the molar mass to find the grams in 2 moles of O2

2.00 mol O2 x 32.0g/1.00 mol = 64.0 g

multiply 2 by 32

What is the law of conservation of energy as it applies to exothermic dissolution processes?Energy given off by the system durin
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The energy given off by the system during dissolution is less than the energy absorbed by the surroundings.

Explanation:

Energy is used to break bonds in reactants, and energy is released when new bonds form in products. Endothermic reactions absorb energy, and exothermic reactions release energy. The law of conservation of energy states that matter cannot be created or destroyed.

A substance occupies one half of an open container. The atoms of the substance are closely packed but are still able to slide pa
SCORPION-xisa [38]

For a substance to occupy one half of an open container with the atoms being able to slide past each other, the most likely phase of the substance would be liquid.

Atoms of gases would not occupy just one-half of an open container because atoms of gases will diffuse and spread out from an open container.

Atoms of solids are fixed about a particular position and will most likely not be able to slide past each other in an open container.

Only the atoms of liquid take the shapes of their containers and do not have the capacity to diffuse out ordinarily. They are also able to flow despite the closeness of the atoms and would occasionally slide past each other.
