SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago

<span>The acid-base neutralization reaction between formic acid (HCHO2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is

HCHO2(aq) + NaOH(s) --> NaCHO2(aq) + H2O(l)

Formic acid is a weak acid. So, the salt formed here is a basic salt, NaCHO2 or Sodium Formate. A buffer solution is when the system contains either a weak acid and its conjugate strong base or a weak base and its conjugate strong acid. In this case, formic acid is the weak base, while sodium formate is the conjugate strong base. So, this is a buffer system. By definition, a buffer resists pH changes with small addition of either a base or an acid. So, when NaOH is added, it would produce more of sodium formate. As long as formic acid is not depleted, the buffer system would be stable.</span>

A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 42. How many electrons does the atom have?
Bingel [31]

If we have a neutral atom, then it has the same number protons and neutrons.

The number protons and neutrons for neutral atom shows atomic number.

"A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20" means that atom has 20 protons (that give charge "+ 20" ) and 20 electrons (that give charge "-20").

Answer is 20 electrons.

What do chemists use percent yield calculations for in the real world?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

C. To determine how efficient reactions are.

D. To determine how much reactant they need.

Explanation:

When you are doing a reaction, you are hoping for a percent yield to close of 100%. You make the reaction and determine how many product you obtain. If you know the percent yield of a reaction you can calculate the amount of reactant you need to obtain a determined amount of product.

Having this in mind:

A. To balance the reaction equation.  false. To calculate percent yield you need to balance the reaction before. You don't use percent yield to balance the reaction

B. To determine how much product they will need.  false. You determine how much product you obtain after the reaction. How much product you need is independent of percent yield

C. To determine how efficient reactions are.  true. A way to determine efficience of a reaction is with percent yield. An efficient reaction has a high percent yield.

D. To determine how much reactant they need. true. If you know percent yield of a reaction you can know how many reactant you must add to obtain  the amount of product you want.

The density of an object is
uysha [10]

Answer:

Density is a measure of mass per unit of volume. Density is a measure of mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass divided by its total volume.

I hope it helps.

Have a great day.
