Answer:

Explanation:

Neutral atoms can be turned into positively charged ions by removing one or more electrons. A neutral sodium atom, for example, contains 11 protons and 11 electrons. By removing an electron from this atom we get a positively charged Na+ ion that has a net charge of +1.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Br-P-Br

Explanation:

To calculate the valance electrons, look at the periodic table to find the valance electrons for each atom and add them together. P is in column 5A, so it has 5, Br is in column 7A, so it has 7 (multiply by 4 since there are 4 Br atoms to give 28) and there is a 1- charge, so add one more electron. 5+28+1=34, so there are 34 electrons to place. P would be the central atom, so place it in the middle. Place each Br around the P (as shown above) with a a single line connecting it. Each line represents 2 electrons, so 8 total have been place, leaving 26 remaining. Place 6 electrons around each Br (2 on each of the unbonded sides), which leaves 2 electrons remaining. The remaining pair of unbound electrons will be attached to the P between any two Br atoms. Phosphorus doesn't have to follow the octet rule, so it actually ends up with 10 valance electrons.

How many moles are in 9.50 x 1022 molecules of CO? Be sure to ALL work below and report your answer using the correct number of

eimsori [14]

Answer:

0.158 moles

Explanation:

We are given;

9.50 x 10^22 molecules of CO

We are required to determine the number of moles;

We need to know;

1 mole of a compound = 6.022 × 10^23 molecules

Therefore;

9.50 x 10^22 molecules of CO will be equivalent to;

= 9.50 x 10^22 molecules ÷ 6.022 × 10^23 molecules/mole

= 0.158 moles

Therefore, the number of moles are 0.158 moles

Strontium-90 is a radioisotope that will decrease in mass by one-half every 29 years. How many years will it take for a 10.0-gra

Lelechka [254]

Answer: It will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams

Explanation:

Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations. The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

Half life is represented by $t_{\frac{1}{2}$

$t_{\frac{1}{2}=\frac{0.693}{\lambda}$

$\lambda$ = rate constant

Given : Strontium-90 decreases in mass by one-half every 29 years , that is half life of Strontium-90 is 29 years.

As half life is independent of initial concentration, it will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams as the amount gets half.

Is h2c2o4 an Arrhenius base or arrhenius acid

maksim [4K]

Answer:
Oxalic Acid is and Arrhenius Acid.

Explanation:
According to Arrhenius Theory of acid and base, "Acid is any substance which when dissolved in water produces H⁺ Ions".

Therefore, Oxalic Acid is a diprotic substance, which is capable of donating protons in water. This acidity of oxalic acid can be dedicated to the stability of conjugate base, this stability comes from resonance of the negative charges on Oxalate ion. Below reaction shows the dissociation of Oxalic Acid into Protons and Oxalate Ion.
