a phosphorus ion with a charge of -2 has ____ protons ____ neutrons,and _____ electrons

Answers

Answer 1

The number of protons of an atom is always equal to the atomic number of the atom's element. In this case, we can assume that a phosphorus ion is simply an atom of phosphorus that is an ion, i.e., an atom with a nonzero electric charge. To refresh, there are three key subatomic particles that make up an atom: protons (which have a positive charge), neutrons (which have no electric charge), and electrons (which have a negative charge). Protons and neutrons are found bound to each other in the nucleus (an exception would be a neutral hydrogen, ¹H, atom, whose nucleus comprises only a single proton and no neutrons).

The atomic number of phosphorus is 15. Therefore, the phosphorus ion has 15 protons.

The number of neutrons in a phosphorus atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic weight. The atomic weight of phosphorus is approximately 30.974 amu (the decimals come from the fact that this value is a weighted average of the masses of naturally-occurring isotopes of phosphorus). For our purposes, we can round our atomic weight to 31, which would reflect the number of protons and neutrons in a phosphorus atom. Subtracting our 15 protons from 31 gives us 16 neutrons. Since neutrons have no electric charge, their number would be the same in both a neutral atom and an ion of a particular isotope of phosphorus. Since we're presumably working with ³¹P (which is by far the most abundant isotope), we can safely say that the phosphorus ion has 16 neutrons.

Recall that protons have a positive charge, and we've just reiterated that neutrons have no electric charge. If all that made up an atom were protons and neutrons, the atom would have a net positive charge due to the protons. A neutral atom of an element, by definition, has no net charge because of the negatively-charged electrons surrounding the positively-charged nucleus. It follows, then, that in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons; so, in a neutral phosphorus atom, there would be 15 protons, 16 neutrons, and 15 electrons. The 15 positively-charged protons would neutralize the 15 negatively-charged electrons, resulting in a net atomic charge of 0.

In our phosphorus ion, we have a net charge of -2. That means that, given a nucleus with 15 positively-charged protons, we have an imbalance of 2 more negative charges. 15 electrons are needed to maintain an electrically neutral phosphorus atom; for each electron that is removed, the atom gains a positive charge, and for each electron that is added, the atom gains a negative charge. Since we have a -2 charge in the phosphorus ion, there must be 2 electrons in addition to the 15 electrons found in a neutral phosphorus atom, or 17 electrons in total. Therefore, the phosphorus ion has 17 electrons.

Note: A positively-charged ion is also called a cation, and a negatively charged ion is also called an anion. The charge of an ion has the general form Xⁿ⁺ or Xⁿ⁻, where X is the chemical species (such as an element), n is the magnitude of the charge, and the + or - respective denote a net positive or negative charge. In this case, one could represent the phosphorus anion as P²⁻.

Answer 2

A phosphorus ion with a charge of -2 has 15 protons, 16 neutrons, and 18 electrons.

The atomic number of phosphorus is 15, which means it naturally has 15 protons in its nucleus. Since the ion has a charge of -2, it means it has gained two extra electrons.

The number of protons remains the same in an ion, so it still has 15 protons. However, the number of electrons changes to accommodate the charge. The ion possesses 15 protons and 17 electrons because it has a -2 charge.

To calculate neutrons, subtract 15 from phosphorous' mass number. The neutron count for phosphorus is 31 - 15 = 16. Thus, a -2 phosphorus ion contains 15 protons, 16 neutrons, and 18 electrons.

A nonvolatile organic compound Z was used to make up a solution. Solution A contains 6.00 g of Zdissolved in 100 g of waterand has a vapor pressure of 754.5 mmHgat the normal boiling point of water. Calculate the molar mass of Z in solution A.

Answers

Answer:

Molar mass of Z in solution A is 148.2 g/mol.

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to use colligative property about vapor pressure.

In any ideal solution, the vapor pressure of solution is lower than vapor pressure of pure solvent. Formula is:

ΔP = P° . Xm

ΔP = Vapor pressure of pure solvent - Vapor pressure of solution

At the normal boiling point of water (100°C), vapor pressure is 760 mmHg.

Let's replace in the formula, to find out Xm (mole fraction of solute)

760 mmHg - 754.5 mmHg = 760 mmHg . Xm

(760 mmHg - 754.5 mmHg) / 760 mmHg = Xm

Xm → 0.00724

Mole fraction of solute = moles of solute /total moles (st + sv)

In this case, our mole fraction will be

(6 g / MM) / ( (6 g/ MM + 100 g / 18g/mol) = 0.00724

Our unknown is MM (molar mass of Z). We solve the equation:

6 g / MM = 0.00724 . ((6 g/ MM + 100 g / 18g/mol))

6 g / MM =  0.04344 g /MM + 0.0402 g/mol

6 g/MM - 0.04344 g /MM = 0.0402 g/mol

5.95656 /MM = 0.0402 g/mol

5.95656 / 0.0402 g/mol = MM → 148.2 g/mol

The molar mass of Z in solution A is 150 g/mol.

Based on the given information,

• The mass of water given is 100 grams.

• The mass of solute given is 6 grams.

• It is known that the molar mass of water is 18 gram per mole.  

Now the moles of water can be calculated as,

[tex]n = \frac{mass}{molar mass}[/tex]

Now putting the values we get,

[tex]n = \frac{100 g}{18 g/mol} \\n = 5.5556 moles[/tex]

• It is known that the vapor pressure of water at 100 degree C (Po) is 760 mmHg.

• The given vapor pressure of solution at 100 degree C is 754.5 mmHg.

• Based on Raoult's law, the vapor pressure of solution = mole fraction of water * Po of water.

The mole fraction of water is,

[tex]= \frac{754.5 mmHg}{760 mmHg} \\= 0.9928[/tex]

The mole fraction of solute is,

[tex]= 1-0.9928\\= 0.00722[/tex]

The mole fraction of solute = n1/n1+n2

Now putting the values we get,

[tex]\frac{n1}{n1+n2} = 0.00722\\\frac{n1+n2}{n1} = \frac{1}{0.00722} \\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{n1+5.56 mol}{n1} = 138.50\\n1 = \frac{5.56 mol}{138.50} \\n1 = 0.040 mol[/tex]

Now the molar mass of solute, Z is,

[tex]Molar mass = \frac{mass}{moles} \\Molar mass = \frac{6.0 grams}{0.04 mol} \\Molar mass = 150 g/mol[/tex]

Thus, the molar mass of Z in solution A is 150 g/mol.

What is cross multiplication?

Cross multiply fractions by multiplying one fraction's denominator by the other fraction's numerator and then comparing the two values. The larger fraction is the one with the higher value.

100g of sterling silver contains 92.5g of silver and 7.5g of copper.percentage of element = amount of the element present in 100 g of material

Therefore,

100g sterling silver = 92.5g silver30g sterling silver = X g silver

( cross multiplication),

100 × X = 92.5 × 30

X = 92.5 × 30/ 100

X= 27.75g silver

100g sterling silver = 7.5g copper

30g sterling silver= Y g copper

(cross multiply)

100 × Y =  7.5 × 30

Y= 7.5 × 30 / 100

Y= 2.25g copper

X (silver)= 27.75 g in 30 g of sterling silverY (copper)= 2.25 g in 30 g of sterling silver

therefore, 30g of sterling silver ring contains, 27.75 g of silver and 2.25 g of copper.

Number of moles of [tex]$Fe(OH)_3 = \frac{\text{mass of }Fe(OH)_3}{\text{molar mass of }Fe(OH)_3}$[/tex]

                                                [tex]$=\frac{2.143 \ g}{106.867 \ g/mol}$[/tex]

                                                = 0.02005 mol

Number of moles of [tex]$CH_3COOK = \frac{\text{mass of }CH_3COOK}{\text{molar mass of }CH_3COOK}$[/tex]

                                                [tex]$=\frac{5.478 \ g}{98.15 \ g/mol}$[/tex]

                                                = 0.0585 mol

Since 1 mol of [tex]$Fe(OH)_3$[/tex] reacts with 3 mols of [tex]$CH_3COOK$[/tex]

Therefore, number of moles of [tex]$CH_3COOK$[/tex] reacted [tex]$=\frac{0.0585}{3 }$[/tex] mol

                                                                                    = 0.0195 mol

Therefore the limiting reagent is [tex]$CH_3COOK$[/tex] and hence the number of moles of [tex]$Fe(CH_3COO)_3$[/tex] produced is 0.0195 mol

Amount of [tex]$Fe(CH_3COO)_3$[/tex]  produced = moles x molar mass

                                                           = 0.0195 moles x 232.98 g/mol

An unknown element X has the following isotopes: 126X (22.00%
abundant), 128X (34.00% abundant), 130X (44.00% abundant). What is
the average atomic mass in amu of X?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]m_X=128.44 a.m.u[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the average atomic mass of an element, when given the atomic mass and the percent abundance of the naturally occurring isotopes is computed as shown below for this unknown element:

[tex]m_X=126*0.22+128*0.34+130*0.44[/tex]

Whereas the atomic mass of each isotope is multiplied by the percent abundancy; we obtain:

[tex]m_X=128.44 a.m.u[/tex]

Best regards!

Considering the definition of atomic mass, isotopes and atomic mass of an element, the atomic mass of the element is 128.44 amu.

Definition of atomic mass

First of all, the atomic mass (A) is obtained by adding the number of protons and neutrons in a given nucleus of a chemical element.

Definition of isotope

The same chemical element can be made up of different atoms, that is, their atomic numbers are the same, but the number of neutrons is different. These atoms are called isotopes of the element.

Definition of atomic mass

On the other hand, the atomic mass of an element is the weighted average mass of its natural isotopes. In other words, the atomic masses of chemical elements are usually calculated as the weighted average of the masses of the different isotopes of each element, taking into account the relative abundance of each of them.

Atomic mass of the element in this case

In this case, you know:

the first isotope has an atomic mass of 126 amu and a percent natural abundance of 22%. the second isotope has an atomic mass of 128 amu and a percent natural abundance of 34%. the third isotope has an atomic mass of 130 amu and a percent natural abundance of 44%.

Then, the average mass of lithium can be calculated as:

126 amu×0.22 + 128 amu×0.34 + 130 amu×0.44= 128.44 amu

Finally, the atomic mass of the element is 128.44 amu.
