Some atoms<span> are more stable when they </span>gain or lose<span> an </span>electron<span> (or possibly two) and </span>form ions<span>. This results in a full outermost </span>electron<span> shell and makes them energetically more stable. Now, because the number of </span>electrons<span> does not equal the number of protons, each </span>ion<span> has a net charge.</span>

What is one benefit and one negative of the Gulf Stream
luda_lava [24]

This is a benefit I’m not sure if a negative

This strong current of warm water influences the climate of the east coast of Florida, keeping temperatures there warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer than the other southeastern states. Since the Gulf Stream also extends toward Europe, it warms western European countries as well.

If 5.100 g of c6h6 is burned and the heat produced from the burning is added to 5691 g of water at 21 °c, what is the final temp
emmasim [6.3K]
  <span>C6H12 = 6x12 + 6x1 = 78. 
The equation indicates that 2x78 = 156g benzene will produce 6542kJ. 
Using proportions you can then calculate that 
x/6542kJ = 7.9g / 156g 
x = 331.3kJ = 331300J. 

heat = mass x ΔT x 4.18J/g° 
ΔT = 331300J / (5691g x 4.18J/g°) = 13.9° 

final temp = 21 + 14° = 35°C</span>

What is the molar mass of water (H2O)?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The molar mass is: 18.02 g/mol.

Explanation:

  • Mass of two moles of Hydrogen atoms (H2) = 2x 1 g/mol = 2 g/mol.
  • Mass of one mole of water (H2O) = 2 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 18 g/mol.

1 mole of Hydrogen= 1.01, so if we have 2 moles of it here, that would be 2.02.

1 mole of Oxygen (that's all we have here)= 16.00

Once you add the two together (2.02+16.00), you will get 18.02.

I hope this made sense! Have a great day!
