Why a neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex777 [14]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

What mass of sodium hydroxide will completely neutralize 2.5 mol of sulfuric acid?
VMariaS [17]

Given :

2.5 mole of Sulfuric acid ( H_2SO_4 ) .

To Find :

Mass of sodium hydroxide will completely neutralize 2.5 mol of sulfuric acid

Solution :

Let us assume volume of water be 1 L .

Now , we know , to neutralize 1 mole of sulfuric acid we need 2 moles of NaOH .

So , for 2.5 mole sulfuric acid required 5 mole of NaOH .

Moles of NaOH ,

n=M\times Volume \\\\n=5\times 1=5\ moles  

Molecular mass of NaOH , M.M = 58.44 g/mol .

Mass of 5 moles of NaOH :

m=5\times 58.44\ g\\\\m=292.2\ g

Hence , this is the required solution .

This is thermal conduction.
In conduction area with higher kinetic energy (in this case how water) transfer thermal energy to an area with lower kinetic energy (in this case frozen vegetables).

Three reasons for air is mixture and water is compound
zhannawk [14.2K]
1. air components change from place to place, while water will just stay the same

2. Water doesn't have nor show individual properties, but air does show that it has it's own property

3. You can separate different gases from air physically, but with water you must pass electricity through it.

Don't take my word for it, this is just what I learned back in middle school.

Which of the following affects the speed of a seismic wave?
scoray [572]

Explanation:

The speed of seismic waves is affected by the density of the underlying rock.

Seismic waves are elastic waves that transmits elastic energy from one point to the other.

These waves generally produced during an earthquake.

  • The higher the density of rock bodies, the faster the wave travels.
  • Rocks that are well packed with little to no void have a higher seismic velocity.
  • Where density of rock is low, the speed is also low
