Sodium has 11 protons, therefore number of neutrons must be 23 – 11 = 12 neutrons.

Sodium has 12 neutrons.

<h3>What are neutrons?</h3>

The neutron is a subatomic particle with the symbol n that is slightly heavier than a proton and has a neutral charge (i.e., neither a positive nor a negative charge). Atoms' nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are both referred to as nucleons because of how similarly they function inside the nucleus and because they both have masses that are about equal to one atomic mass unit. Nuclear physics describes their characteristics and interactions.

The arrangement of electrons around an atom's hefty nucleus largely determines its chemical characteristics. The amount of protons, or atomic number, determines the charge of the nucleus, which determines the electron configuration.

10. When the pressure on a gas inetcases three times, by how much will the volume incrcase or decrease?
blagie [28]

Answer:The answer to this question comes from experiments done by the scientist Robert Boyle in an effort to improve air pumps. In the 1600's, Boyle measured the volumes of gases at different pressures. Boyle found that when the pressure of gas at a constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. when the pressure of gas is decreased, the volume increases. this relationship between pressure and volume is called Boyle's law.

Explanation: So, at constant temperature, the answer to your answer is: the volume decreases in the same ratio as the ratio of pressure increases.

BUT, in general, there is not a single answer to your question. It depend by the context.

For example, if you put the gas in a rigid steel tank (volume is constant), you can heat the gas, so provoking a pressure increase. But you won't get any change in volume.

Or, if you heat the gas in a partially elastic vessel (as a tire or a soccer ball) you will get both an increase of volume AND an increase of pressure.

FINALLY if you inflate a bubblegum ball, the volume will be increased without any change in pressure and temperature, because you have increased the NUMBER of molecules in the balloon.

There are many other ways to change volume and pressure of a gas that are different from the Boyle experiment.

muminat

Answer:

ΔH of the reaction is -802.3kJ.

Explanation:

Using Hess's law, you can know ΔH of reaction by the sum of ΔH's of half-reactions.

Using the reactions:

<em>(1) </em>Cgraphite(s)+ 2H₂(g) → CH₄(g) ΔH₁ = −74.80kJ

<em>(2) </em>Cgraphite(s)+ O₂(g) → CO₂(g) ΔH₂ = −393.5k J

<em>(3) </em>H₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH₃ = −241.80kJ

The sum of (2) - (1) produce:

CH₄(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ΔH' = -393.5kJ - (-74.80kJ) = -318.7kJ

And the sum of this reaction with 2×(3) produce:

CH₄(g) + 2 O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g) And ΔH = -318.7kJ + 2×(-241.80kJ) =

<em>-802.3kJ</em>

Calculate the Ph and the POH of an aqueous solution that is 0. 040 m in HCl(aq) and 0. 075 m in HBr(aq) at 25 °C.
LenaWriter [7]

pH is the measure of the hydrogen ion concentration while pOH is of hydroxide ion concentration in the solution. The pH is 0.939 and pOH is 13.061 pOH.

pH is the concentration of the hydrogen ion released or gained by the species in the solution that depicts the acidity and basicity of the solution.

pOH is the concentration of the hydroxide ion in the solution and is dependent on the pH as an increase in pH decreases the pOH and vice versa.

Both HCl and HBr are strong acids and gets ionized 100 % in the solution. If we let 1 L of solution for the acids then the concentration of the hydrogen ion will be 0.100 M.

Since both completely dissociate we would just add the molarities of each of the H+ ions together and then calculate the PH and POH from that :

HCL(0.040M)----> H+(0.040M) +CL-(0.040M)

HBr(0.075M)----> H+(0.075M) +Br-(0.075M)

so 0.040M (H+ from HCL) + 0.075M (H+ from HBr) = 0.115M H+ in total.

pH is calculated as:

pH = -log[H+]

Substituting values in the equation:

log(0.115M)= 0.939 pH

pOH is calculated as:

14 - pH = pOH

Substituting values in the equation above:

14 - 0.939= 13.061 pOH

Therefore, pH is 0.939 and pOH is 13.061.
