Which of the following statements explains why atoms are always neutral in charge

Chemistry

Answer:

D. They have the same number of protons as electrons.

Explanation:

Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive charge while electrons orbit around the nucleus and have a negative charge. Usually, in a neutral atom of an element, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is why the atom has no charge because the positive and negative charges cancel out. When an atom loses an electron its charge turns positive while when it gains an electron its charge turns negative.

Rainbow [258]
A balanced equation is a prime example of the law of the conservation of mass as the number of atoms in the reactants is consistent with the number of atoms in the reactants meaning the amount of matter has not changed and no mass has been created or destroyed hence obeying the law.

Given a fixed amount of gas held at constant pressure, calculate the volume (in L) it would occupy if a 3.50 L sample were coole
Over [174]

Answer:

V₂ = 2.91 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 3.50 L

Initial temperature = 90.0°C (90+273 = 363 K)

Final temperature = 30.0 °C  ( 30 +273 = 303 K)

Final volume = ?

Solution:

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁  =  Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

V₁/T₁  =  V₂/T₂

3.50 L / 363 K) =  V₂ / 303 K)

V₂ = 0.0096 L/K × 303 K

V₂ = 2.91 L

Calculate the pH of: (a) 0.1M HCl; (b) 0.1M NaOH; (c) 3 X 10% M HNO3; (d) 5 X 10-10 M HCIO.; and (e) 2 x 10-8 M KOH.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

(a) pH = -Log (0.1M) = 1

(b) pH = -Log (10^{-13}M) = 13

(c) pH = -Log (3x10^{-3}M) = 2.5

(d) pH = -Log (4.93x10^{-10}M) = 9.3

(e) pH = -Log (5^{-7}M) = 6.3

Explanation:

To calculate de pH of an acid solution the formula is:

pH = -Log ([H^{+}]) = 1

were [H^{+}] is the concentration of protons of the solution. Therefore it is necessary to know the concentration of the protons for every solution in order to solve the problem.

(a) and (c) are strong acids so they dissociate completely in aqueous solution. Thus, the concentration of the acid is the same as the protons.

(b) and (e) are strong bases so they dissociate completely in aqueous solution too. Thus, the concentration of the base is the same as the oxydriles. But in this case it is necessary to consider the water autoionization to calculate the protons concentration:

K_{w} =[H^{+} ][OH^{-}]=10^{-14}

clearing the [H^{+} ]

[H^{+} ]=\frac{10^{-14}}{[OH^{-}]}

(d) is a weak base so it is necessary to solve the equilibrium first, knowing Ka=3.24x10^{-8}

The reaction is HClO  →  H^{+} + CO^{-} so the equilibrium is

Ka=3.24x10^{-8}=\frac{x^{2}}{5x10^{-8}-x}

clearing the <em>x</em>

{x^{2}={1.62x10^{-17}-3.24x10^{-8}x}

x=[H^{+}]=4.93x10^{-10}
