As a sodium atom is oxidized the number of protons in its nucleus

Chemistry
1 answer:
lara31 [8.8K]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The proton remains the same.

Explanation:

Oxidation is simply defined as the loss of electron(s) during a chemical reaction either by an atom, molecule or ion.

Oxidation is strictly on the transfer of electron(s) and not proton.

A metal that undergoes oxidation still has its protons intact otherwise it will not be called the ion of the metal since atomic number is called the proton number.

Sodium (Na) undergoes oxidation as follow:

Na —> Na+ + e-

Na is called sodium metal.

Na+ is called sodium ion.

Na has 11 electrons and 11 protons

Na+ has 10 electrons and 11 protons

From the above illustration, we can see that the protons of Na and Na+ are the same why their electrons differ because Na+ indicates that 1 electron has been loss or transferred.

Why does burned toast taste so bad? Is it a chemical or physical change?
german

Because things that are burnt have been changed into something else like moldy bread thats cooked.

It is chemical change because you cannot unburn something.

What amount of energy is required to change a spherical drop of water with a diameter of 1.80 mm to three smaller spherical drop
Gekata [30.6K]
This is a straightforward question related to the surface energy of the droplet. 

<span>You know the surface area of a sphere is 4π r² and its volume is (4/3) π r³. </span>

<span>With a diameter of 1.4 mm you have an original droplet with a radius of 0.7 mm so the surface area is roughly 6.16 mm² (0.00000616 m²) and the volume is roughly 1.438 mm³. </span>

<span>The total surface energy of the original droplet is 0.00000616 * 72 ~ 0.00044 mJ </span>

<span>The five smaller droplets need to have the same volume as the original. Therefore </span>

<span>5 V = 1.438 mm³ so the volume of one of the smaller spheres is 1.438/5 = 0.287 mm³. </span>

<span>Since this smaller volume still has the volume (4/3) π r³ then r = cube_root(0.287/(4/3) π) = cube_root(4.39) = 0.4 mm. </span>

<span>Each of the smaller droplets has a surface area of 4π r² = 2 mm² or 0.0000002 m². </span>

<span>The surface energy of the 5 smaller droplets is then 5 * 0.000002 * 72.0 = 0.00072 mJ </span>
<span>From this radius the surface energy of all smaller droplets is 0.00072 and the difference in energy is 0.00072- 0.00044 mJ = 0.00028 mJ. </span>

<span>Therefore you need roughly 0.00028 mJ or 0.28 µJ of energy to change a spherical droplet of water of diameter 1.4 mm into 5 identical smaller droplets. </span>

A compound with the empirical formula C2HF4 was found to have a molar mass of about 200g/mole. What is the molecular formula of
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

C_4H_2F_8 is the molecular formula of the compound.

Explanation:

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 200 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula of C_2HF_4 :

2 × 12 g/mol + 1 × 1 g/mol + 4 × 19 g/mol = 101 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{200 g/mol}{101 g/mol} =1.9 \approx 2

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

C_{(2\times 2)}H_{(1\times 2)}F_{(4\times 2)}=C_4H_2F_8

C_4H_2F_8 is the molecular formula of the compound.
