What is the electrostatic potential energy (in joules) between an electron and a proton that are separated by 54 pm?

Chemistry

Greeley [361]4 years ago
4 0

The formula for calculating the electrostatic potential is given as:

U = (1/4πε0) (qp * qe/r)

where the variables are:

ε0 = permittivity of space = 8.854187817620 × 10^−12  A^2⋅s^4⋅kg−1⋅m−3

qp = charge of proton = 1.60217662 × 10-19 coulombs

qe = charge of electron = -1.60217662 × 10-19 coulombs

r = distance between the two = 54 pm = 5.4 × 10−11 m

 

So calculating for potential energy U:

U = (1/(4π*8.854187817620)) (1.60217662 × 10-19 * -1.60217662 × 10-19 / 5.4 × 10−11)

U = 5.33 x 10^-11 J

Na-23 has 12 neutrons. What is it’s atomic number?
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

11

Explanation:

The atomic number = number of protons. The mass number (23) = sum of number of neutrons and protons. Since you know the mass number is 23 and it has 12 neutrons, 23-12 gives you 11 protons, so its atomic number is 11.

Stels [109]

Answer:

35.8 u

Explanation:

The atomic mass of Cl is the weighted average of the atomic masses of its isotopes.

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i.e., its percent abundance).

Atomic mass of Cl-35 = 17p + 18n = 17 × 1.007 u + 18 × 1.009 u

= 17.119 u + 18.162 u = 35.28 u

Atomic mass of Cl-37 = 17p + 20n = 17 × 1.007 u + 20 × 1.009 u

= 17.119 u + 20.180 u = 37.30 u

Set up a table for easy calculation.

0.755 × 35.28 u =  26.64  u

0.245 × 37.30 u =    9.138 u

             TOTAL = 35.8     u

Note: The actual atomic mass of Cl is 35.45 u.

The calculated value above is incorrect because

(a) the given isotopic percentages are incorrect and

(b) the protons and neutrons have less mass when they are in the nucleus than when they are free. Thus, the calculated masses of Cl-35 and Cl-37 are too high.

Where does oxidation occur in an electrochemical cell?
AlladinOne [14]
Option No. 1 at the cathode in both an electrolytic cell and a voltaic cell

Negative ion arrives at the anode, attracted by electrostatic forces, where they lose electrons. Loss of electrons is defined as oxidation.

The reverse process occur at the negative electrode, where positive ions pick up electrons. They are reduced.

The proton and neutron of X is 6 and 6 respectively and proton and neutron of Y is 6 and 8 respectively.Find the mass no. of X a
Anna007 [38]
Mass number of X = 6 + 6 = 12
Mass number of Y = 6 + 8 = 14

Symbols of elements are: ⁶X₁₂ & ⁶Y₁₄

So,the elements are "Isotopes"

Hope this helps!
