Acertain element forms an ion with 36 electrons and a charge of +2. identify the element. express your answer as a chemical symbol.

The element is Sr (strontium)

strontium is in atomic number 38 in the periodic table. Strontium has 2.8.8.8.8.2

it loses two electrons to become  stable hence it has a charge of   2+. when strontium loses two electron it form ion with 36 electrons

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g

it is the most commonly accepted one
