How do atoms form a new substance

1 answer:

5 0

Atoms form a new substance by bonding with different atoms.

For example, hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms bond to form H2O as per this equation:

2H2 + O2 ---> 2 H2O

To understand how to hydrogen and oxygen atoms form water you can write that as:

2 H - H + O - O ---> 2 H - O - H

Each hypen represent a chemical bond.

What is happening is that the H - H atoms and the O - O separate and bond with different atoms: H bonds to O which in turn bonds to other H.

Also, you have to know that chemical bonds are the result of interaction between the electrons of the valence shell of electrons of each atom. This is, valence electrons from O interact with valence electrons of H to form the bond H - O.

The interaction may be in different ways depending on the properties of the atoms: the kind of bonds known are metallic, ionic and covalent.

A chemist requires 0.802 mol Na2CO3 for a reaction. How many grams does this correspond to?

Komok [63]

Answer:

Ok:

Explanation:

So grams = mols*MolarMass. Here, MolarMass (MM) = 105.99g which can be found using the periodic table. mols is given to be 0.802. We can then plug in to get that it corresponds to 85.0g.

There are some exceptions to the trends of first and successive ionization energies. For each of the following pairs, explain wh

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

(b) IE₂ of Ga > IE₂ of Ge

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of Ga is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p¹

Electronic configuration of Ge is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p²

After 1st ionisation , Ga becomes [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s² and becomes stable . Its

2 nd ionisation requires higher amount of ionisation energy. In case of Ge , there are 2 electrons in outermost orbital so it becomes stable after ionisation of 2 electrons.

Electrolytic cells use electricity to cause a nonspontaneous redox reaction to occur. An electrolytic cell is constructed using

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

At anode - ${Br_2}_{(l)}$

At cathode - ${H_2}_{(g)}$

Explanation:

Electrolysis of NaBr:

Water will exist as:

$H_2O\rightleftharpoons H^++OH^-$

The salt, NaBr will dissociate as:

$NaBr\rightarrow Na^++Br^-$

At the anode, oxidation takes place, as shown below.

${Br^-}_{(aq)}\rightarrow {Br_2}_{(l)}+2e^-$

At the cathode, reduction takes place, as shown below.

$2{H^+}_{(aq)}+2e^-\rightarrow {H_2}_{(g)}$

Americans eat too much salt (NaCl). A healthy adult should eat no more than 6 g of salt in one day. Use this information to answ

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

a. 58.5 g/mol

b. 0.1 mol

Explanation:

The molar mass of Na is 23.0 g/mol. The molar mass of Cl is 35.5 g/mol. The molar mass of NaCl is:

M(Na) + M(Cl) = 23.0 g/mol + 35.5 g/mol = 58.5 g/mol

b. A healthy adult should eat no more than 6 g of salt in one day. The moles corresponding to 6 g of NaCl are:

6 g × (1 mol/58.5 g) = 0.1 mol

A small hole in the wing of a space shuttle requires a 20.7-cm² patch.

cricket20 [7]

The Patch's area of the space shuttle in km² is 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²

Given, that a space shuttle requires a 20.7 cm² patch

We have to convert the patch's area from cm² into km².

Unit conversion is a method in which we multiply or divide with a particular numerical factor and then finally round off to the nearest significant digits.

Patch area of the space shuttle is 20.7 cm²

1 cm = 0.00001 km

or, 1 cm² = (0.00001 km)²

or, 1 cm² = 10⁻¹⁰km²

20.7 cm² = 20.7 × 10⁻¹⁰km²

20.7 cm² = 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²

The patch area in square kilometers is 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²
