Because flammable objects have certain substances, you know that it is a chemical property. For example, cloth is flammable and has a certain substance that MAKES it flammable. This results in a chemical property.

Paradox thinker is only partially correct. For combustion/for a fire to start, there must be a chemical reaction.

Current passes through a solution of sodium chloride. In 1.00 second, 2.68×1016Na+ ions arrive at the negative electrode and 3.9

EleoNora [17]

Answer : The current passing between the electrodes is, $1.056\times 10^{-2}A$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the charge of sodium ion.

$q=ne$

where,

q = charge of sodium ion

n = number of sodium ion = $2.68\times 10^{16}$

e = charge on electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=(2.68\times 10^{16})\times (1.6\times 10^{-19}C)=4.288\times 10^{-3}C$

Now we have to calculate the charge of chlorine ion.

$q'=ne$

where,

q' = charge of chlorine ion

n = number of chlorine ion = $3.92\times 10^{16}$

e = charge on electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q'=(3.92\times 10^{16})\times (1.6\times 10^{-19}C)=6.272\times 10^{-3}C$

Now we have to calculate the current passing between the electrodes.

$I=\frac{q}{t}+\frac{q'}{t}$

$I=\frac{4.288\times 10^{-3}}{1.00}+\frac{6.272\times 10^{-3}}{1.00}$

$I=1.056\times 10^{-2}A$

Thus, the current passing between the electrodes is, $1.056\times 10^{-2}A$

In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to anot

forsale [732]

The given question is incomplete . The complete question is :

In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to another. What are the new relative charges between the two atoms?

a. The giving atom and receiving atom are both negatively charged

b. The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.

c. The giving and receiving atom are both positively charged

d. The giving atom is now negatively charged and the receiving atom is now positively charged.

Answer: The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are formed by transference of electrons between metals and non metals. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Thus when one electron moves from one atom to another, the metal acquires a positive charge and the non metal acquires negative charge.

For example: $NaCl$ is formed by transfer of one electron from sodium to chlorine , thus forming $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$

What is known about a reaction with a positive enthalpy?

MariettaO [177]

Answer: C

Explanation:

In endothermic reactions, enthalpy is positive, and in exothermic reactions, enthalpy is negative, So, if enthalpy is positive, then it is an endothermic reaction, and hence is required for the reaction to occur.
