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.

The activation energy for the isomerization ol cyclopropane to propene is 274 kJ/mol. By what factor does the rate of this react
Bond [772]

Answer:

The rate of the reaction increased by a factor of 1012.32

Explanation:

Applying Arrhenius equation

ln(k₂/k₁) = Ea/R(1/T₁ - 1/T₂)

where;

k₂/k₁ is the ratio of the rates which is the factor

Ea is the activation energy = 274 kJ/mol.

T₁ is the initial temperature = 231⁰C = 504 k

T₂ is the final temperature = 293⁰C = 566 k

R is gas constant = 8.314 J/Kmol

Substituting this values into the equation above;

ln(k₂/k₁) = 274000/8.314(1/504 - 1/566)

ln(k₂/k₁) = 32956.4589 (0.00198-0.00177)

ln(k₂/k₁)  = 6.92

k₂/k₁ = exp(6.92)

k₂/k₁ = 1012.32

The rate of the reaction increased by 1012.32

How many liters of 1.5 M potassium permanganate could be made if 152 g of the solute are available?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

0.64 L

Explanation:

Recall that

n= CV where n=m/M

Hence:

m/M= CV

m= given mass of solute =152g

M= molar mass of solute

C= concentration of solute in molL-1 = 1.5M

V= volume of solute =????

Molar mass of potassium permanganate= 158.034 g/mol

Thus;

152 g/158.034 gmol-1= 1.5M × V

V= 0.96/1.5

V= 0.64 L

Identify the reactants and the products in this chemical equation.<br><br> 2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Fe₂O₃ and C are reactants

Fe and CO₂ are products

Explanation:

Reactants:

Chemical species that are present on left side of chemical reaction equation are called reactants.

Product:

Chemical species that are present on right side of chemical reaction equation are called product.

Chemical equation:

2Fe₂O₃ + 3C  →  4Fe + 3CO₂

In this reaction 2 mole of iron oxide is react with three moles of carbon and produced four moles of iron and three moles of carbon dioxide. There are equal numbers of atoms of all elements present on both side of chemical reaction so this reaction follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
