Answer:

Explanation:

If you look at an atom as a whole, it is electrically neutral and possesses no overall charge. The nucleus consists of Protons and neutrons, Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge on them.

Hence, the nucleus of an atom is positively charged and is generally surrounded by one or more electrons.

The electrons on the other hand have a negative charge on them.

The sign convention for proton (+1), neutron(0) and electron(-1). The nucleus is very heavy but is very small compared to the overall size of an atom.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer: balanced chemical equation: $Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)$

Net ionic equation : $Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)$

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

The balanced chemical equation is:

$Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)$

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation or they are ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction present in ionic form.

$Ba^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)+2Na^+(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2Na^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)$

The ions which are present on both the sides of the equation are sodium and nitrate ions and hence are not involved in net ionic equation.

Hence, the net ionic equation is $Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)$

Ethylenediamine (en) forms an octahedral complex with Ni2+(aq) with the formula [Ni(en)3]2+. Ni2+(aq) + 3 en ⇌ [Ni(en)3]2+(aq) K

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

$3.125\times 10^{-19} mol/L$ is the concentration of $Ni^{2+}(aq)$ in the solution.

Explanation:

$Ni^{2+}(aq) + 3 en\rightleftharpoons [Ni(en)_3]^{2+}(aq)$

Concentration of nickel ion = $[Ni^{2+}]=x$

Concentration of nickel complex= $[[Ni(en)_3]^{2+}]=\frac{0.16 mol}{2 L}=0.08 mol/L$

Concentration of ethylenediamine = $[en]=\frac{0.80 mol}{2 L}=0.40 mol/L$

The formation constant of the complex = $K_f=4.0\times 10^{18}$

The expression of formation constant is given as:

$K_f=\frac{[[Ni(en)_3]^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}][en]^3}$

$4.0\times 10^{18}=\frac{0.08 mol/L}{x\times (0.40 mol/L)^3}$

$x=\frac{0.08 mol/L}{4.0\times 10^{18}\times (0.40 mol/L)^3}$

$x=3.125\times 10^{-19} mol/L$

$3.125\times 10^{-19} mol/L$ is the concentration of $Ni^{2+}(aq)$ in the solution.

12. Which gas has the greatest kinetic energy at STP?

balandron [24]

Answer:

d. none of the above (all have the same kinetic energy)

Explanation:

The kinetic theory of gases states that the molecules of an ideal gas experience a constant random motion.

At standard temperature and pressure (STP), the kinetic energy of an ideal gas such as hydrogen, argon, neon, sodium, oxygen, helium, magnesium, beryllium, nitrogen, carbon, fluorine, chlorine etc are all the same.

The standard temperature and pressure (STP) of an ideal gas is 273K and 100 kPa.

Hence, all of the gases have the same kinetic energy at standard temperature and pressure (STP).

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where, K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.
