Question

How many electrons have to be removed to ionize 1.0×10^-6moles of ne atoms to Ne+ ions in a neon advertising tube

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

n a neon advertising tube, how many electrons have to be removed to ionise 1.0 × 10^-6 mol of Ne atoms to Ne+ ions?

Well, look at your stoichiometric equation…

Ne(g)+Δ→Ne+(g)+e−

If we ionize a MOLE of neon atoms, then we get a mole of neon cations, AND a mole of electrons; conservation of mass and charge ASSURES this outcome. If we ionize a DOZEN neon atoms, then we get a DOZEN neon cations, AND a DOZEN electrons. And so should we ionize 1.0×10−6∙mol neon atoms, then we get 1.0×10−6∙mol neon CATIONS, AND a 1.0×10−6∙mol quantity of electrons…
