Answer:

electron

Explanation:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol = e⁻

Mass = 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

Mass in amu = 1/1838 = 5.4 × 10⁻⁴amu

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P⁺

Symbol of neutron= n⁰

Mass of proton=1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10⁻²⁷Kg

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom

The solubility of acetanilide in hot water (5.5 g/100 ml at 100∘C) is not very great, and its solubility in cold water (0.53 g/

Olin [163]

Answer:

89.4%

Explanation:

Initially, there is 5.0 of the acetanilide in 100 mL of water, then the solution is chilled at 0ºC. The solubility represents the amount that the solvent (water) can dissolve of the solute (acetanilide). So, at 0ºC, 100 mL of water can dissolve till 0.53 g of the compound, the rest will precipitate and will be recovered.

So, the mass that is recovered is 5.0 - 0.53 = 4.47 g

The percent recovery is:

(4.47/5)x100% = 89.4%

A barometer measures the pressure of the atmosphere at different altitudes. Identify the location where the column of mercury is

Ghella [55]

The location where the mercury level of the barometer would be the lowest is at the very high altitudes of the Earth's atmosphere (about 100 km), since air pressure decreases as altitude increases.

What is the empirical formula of the compound that is 25.3% magnesium and 74.7% chlorine

Margarita [4]

Answer: $MgCl_2$

Explanation:

25.3% Mg

74.7% Cl

First step: change % to g

25.3g Mg

74.7g Cl

Second step: calculate g/mol of each compound. You can do this by using the atomic mass.

$25.3gMg(\frac{1mol}{24.30g})=1.04mol$

$74.7gCl(\frac{1mol}{35.45g} )=2.11mol$

Third step: determine the lowest number and divide everything by it. Of the result, extract whole number only.

$Mg=\frac{1.04}{1.04} =1$

$Cl=\frac{2.11}{1.04}=2$

Fourth step: Write each compound with their respective number below.

This empirical formula should be: $MgCl_2$

what volume of a 0.155 M calcium hydroxide solution is required to neutralize 28.8 mL of a 0.106 M nitric acid?

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

9.85mL

Explanation:

First, let us write a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 —> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

From the balanced equation above,

nA (mole of the acid) = 2

nB (mole of the base) = 1

Data obtained from the question include:

Vb (volume of the base) =?

Mb (Molarity of base) = 0.155 M

Va (volume of the acid) = 28.8 mL

Ma (Molarity of acid) = 0.106 M

Using MaVa/MbVb = nA/nB, the volume of calcium hydroxide (i.e the base) can be obtain as follow:

MaVa/MbVb = nA/nB

0.106 x 28.8 / 0.155 x Vb = 2/1

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

2 x 0.155 x Vb = 0.106 x 28.8

Divide both side by 2 x 0.155

Vb = (0.106 x 28.8) / (2 x 0.155)

Vb = 9.85mL

Therefore, the Volume of calcium hydroxide is 9.85mL
