Answer: An electron is a particle with a negative charge, found outside the nucleus.

Explanation: In an atom, there is a nucleus in the center that has protons and neutrons. Mostly the mass of an atom is the sum of masses of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged ions and neutrons are neutral.

Electrons are present around the nucleus(outside the nucleus) in different energy shells. An electron has negative charge and gain or loss of electrons is the cause of chemical reactions.

Number of protons equals to the atomic number of an atom. Number of electrons is also same to the number of protons for a neutral atom where as the difference of mass number and protons is the number of neutrons.

Coffee is decaffeinated industrially using supercritical (sc) CO2. One advantage to using scCO2 is that the polarity of the supe

koban [17]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

A supercritical fluid has good properties for both liquid and as for extraction properties, the advantages then include:

The fact that it has a lower viscosity than liquid CO2 allowing it to move through and around coffee beans more thoroughly with creating back pressure
Its density is comparable to that of liquid CO2 meaning there is much CO2 per litre as there is liquid form making it more efficient
It has a higher diffusivity than liquid CO2 which aids with penetration of the coffee beans on a molecular level

This experiment would not work with tea leaves because they also contain caffeine

How many grams of benzene (C6H6) will produce 42 grams of CO2?

3241004551 [841]

The balanced chemical reaction is:

2C6H6 + 15O2 → 12CO2 + 6H2O

We are given the amount of carbon dioxide to be produced for the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations.

42 g CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 44.01 g CO2) ( 2 mol C6H6 / 12 mol CO2 ) (78.1074 g C6H6 / 1 mol C6H6) = 12.42 grams of C6H6
