Answer:

Explanation:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

He constructed the glass tube and create vacuum in it. He applied electric current between electrodes. He noticed that a ray of particles coming from cathode to wards positively charged anode. This ray was cathode ray.

Properties of cathode ray:

The ray is travel in straight line.

The cathode ray is independent of composition of cathode.

When electric field is applied cathode ray is deflected towards the positively charged plate.

Hence it was consist of negatively charged particles.

I can't answer this question without knowing what the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter is. Luckily, I found a similar problem from another website which is shown in the attached picture.

Q = nCpΔT
Q = (1.14 g)(1 mol/114 g)(6.97 kJ/kmol·°C)(10°C)(1000 mol/1 kmol)
Q = +6970 kJ

When 4.5 mol al react with 11.5 mol hcl, what is the limiting reactant, and how many moles of h2 can be formed?

ahrayia [7]

1°/ . 2 Al + 6 HCl → 2 AlCl3 + 3 H2

k1 = n(Al) / 2 = 4,5 / 2 = 2,25 
k2 = n(HCl) / 6 = 11,5 / 6= 1,92 

k2 < k1 ==> HCl is the limiting reactant 

6 mol of HCl ---> 2 mol of H2 
11,5 mol of HCl ---> 3,83 mol of H2

Hello, what’s the difference between oxidation and oxidising agents?

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

An oxidising agent oxidises something else. Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG). That means that an oxidising agent takes electrons from that other substance.

Which element has higher ionization energy? chlorine or carbon

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

chlorine has higher ionization than carbon

Explanation:

Chlorine is only one row below carbon, but it is three columns to the right in this case the IP of chlorine would be predicted to be greater than the IP of carbon.
