Activated charcoal is used in gas masks. What physical property is related to this use?

Chemistry

<u>Answer</u>:

physical property is  related to the use of Activated charcoal  in gas  masks is  Physical adsorption

<u>Explanation</u>:

Respirators in the gas masks has a 2-stage inhalation protection process . In the first step, particle filter is used that behaves like a physical barrier that removes bacteria from air which is inhaled. When the bacteria is inhaled, it gets entangled in the filter fibres preventing it from being inhaled into the lungs.

In the next stage , activated charcoal is used .This layer with highly porous charcoal attracts and binds to toxins. Through adsorption process, a solid or a liquid can trap particles on its surface. Toxins that pass through the charcoal become bonded to its surface, preventing inhalation of the toxins.

the atom was thought to be indivisible. Explain the significance of Thomson's concept of the electron.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup.

Which college classes would a student most likely take to become an oceanographer? Select 4 choices.
Setler [38]

Answer:

marine biology

coastal ecology

astronomy

meteorology

Explanation:

As a college student, to study oceanography one will have to take classes in the field of marine biology, coastal ecology, astronomy and meteorology.

An oceanographer is someone or a professional that studies the ocean in order have more scientific knowledge about them.

Oceanography is a merger of geology, biology, chemistry, physics as it pertains to the ocean.

  • There is no need to study human anatomy to study oceanography.
  • Marine biology and coastal ecology deals with study of life forms in their marine environment.
  • Astronomy and meteorology helps to gain insight about the formation of the ocean and how weather relates to the ocean.

When atoms gain electrons, they can become larger, because the addition of an electron increases electrostatic repulsion.
astra-53 [7]

Answer:True

Explanation: An anion has a larger radius than a neutral atom because it gains valence electrons. There are added electron/electron repulsions in the valence shell that expand the size of the electron cloud, which results in a larger radius for the anion.

hit the crown for me pls :)

Have a great day

What is the overall charge of an ion Pat has 12 protons 10 electrons and 14 neutrons
Sav [38]

Answer:

The over all charge on atom will be +2.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example

X is the element having 12 protons  10 electrons and 14 neutrons.

The number of protons and electrons are not equal which means two electrons are lose by the given atom and it is present in the form of cation.

The over all charge on atom will be +2.
