We can solve this without a concrete formula through dimensional analysis. This works by manipulating the units such that you end up with the unit of the final answer. Manipulate them by cancelling units that appear both in the numerator and denominator side. As a result, we must be left with the units of g. The current in A or amperes is equivalent to amount of Coulombs per second. Since this involves Coulombs, we will use the Faraday's constant which is 96,500 C/mol electron. The reaction is:
Cr³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ --> Cr(s)
This means that for every 3 moles of electron transferred, 1 mole of Chromium metal is plated. The molar mass of Cr: 52 g/mol. The solution is as follows:
Mass of Chromium metal = (8 C/s)(60 s/1 min)(160 min)(1 mol e⁻/96,500 C)(1 mol Cr/3 mol e)(52 g/mol)
<em>Mass of Chromium metal = 13.79 g</em>
(2) argon. This is because Ca originally has 20 total electrons with a configuration of 2,8,8,2. When it looses its valence electrons it remains with 18 electrons total (2,8,8 config). Argon has 18 electrons total too (2,8,8 config).
Protons and neutrons are the sub-atomic particles present in the nucleus of an atom where as electrons are present revolving round the nucleus in orbits. Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged where as a neutron is a neutral species. It is the presence of electric charge that lead to the discovery of electrons (negative charge) and protons (positive charge), while it took time to discover neutral as they were electrically neutral species. Neutrons carrying no charge were not detected easily by passing electromagnetic radiations. Therefore, neutrons were the last of the three subatomic particles, to be discovered.
The reaction between boron sulfide and carbon is given as:
2B2S3 + 3C → 4B + 3CS2
As per the law of conservation of mass, for any chemical reaction the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products.
Given data:
Mass of C = 2.1 * 10^ 4 g
Mass of B = 3.11*10^4 g
Mass of CS2 = 1.47*10^5
Mass of B2S3 = ?
Now based on the law of conservation of mass:
Mass of B2S3 + mass C = mass of B + mass of CS2
Mass of B2S3 + 2.1 * 10^ 4 = 3.11*10^4 + 1.47*10^5
Mass of B2S3 = 15.7 * 10^4 g
Answer:
Fe
Explanation:
The electrical conductivity depends mainly on the type of chemical bonds between the atoms of a compound.
In the case of MgF2, FeCl3 and FeO3, these have the type of ionic bond. This means that in the atoms of the compound there is an electron transfer, to keep eight electrons in the outermost layer and thus resemble the electronic configuration of the inert gas closest to each of the two elements, due to this ions of opposite charges are formed that are held together by electrostatic forces. These types of compounds are good conductors of electricity, however, to have this property, they must be dissolved in water or molten.
In the case of Fe, however, the type of union between atoms is metallic. In this type of junction, valence electrons are quite free inside the metal, which makes it easy for them to move. For this reason, this compound will conduct electricity in a solid state.
