Answer:

Neutral.

Explanation:

Protons have a positive charge. In this problem there are 12.

Electrons have a negative charge. In this problem there are 12.

Neutrons have a neutral charge that isn't relevant tot the overall charge, it can be ignored.

#protons - #e- = charge

12 - 12 = 0

The protons and electrons balance each other out, resulting in a 0 net charge. This means the atom has a neutral charge.

What is the mass of 4.56 moles of copper (ii) fluoride

musickatia [10]

Answer:

463.0 g.

Explanation:

We can use the following relation:

n = mass/molar mass.

where, n is the mass of copper(ii) fluoride (m = 4.56 mol),

mass of copper(ii) fluoride = ??? g.

molar mass of copper(ii) fluoride = 101.543 g/mol.

∴ mass of copper(ii) fluoride = (n)(molar mass) = (4.56 mol)(101.543 g/mol) = 463.0 g.

Answer:

in my opinion it wouldn't be regular seasons like what we have now it would be equal in every poles .. there would not be ice in North. [its my opinion though] sorry if I am wrong

Part 1: Name the type of chemical reaction that occurs when calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) reacts with nitric acid (HNO3).

liberstina [14]

Answer:

For 1: Neutralization reaction

For 2: Zinc is more reactive than lead and less reactive than calcium.

Explanation:

For (1):

When a base reacts with an acid to form a salt and water molecule, it is known as a neutralization reaction. The general equation follows:

$HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O$

The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium hydroxide and nitric acid follows:

$Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

For (2):

A single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. The general chemical equation follows:

$A+BX\rightarrow AX+B$

where,

Metal A is more reactive than metal B

The reactivity of metals is judged by the reactivity series where a metal lying above in the series is more reactive than the metal lying below it.

From the reactivity series below,

Zinc lies above in the series than lead thus is more reactive and will easily replace lead from its aqueous solution.

While zinc lies below in the series than calcium thus is less reactive and will not easily replace calcium from its aqueous solution.

$Zn(s)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2(aq)+Pb(s)$

$Zn(s)+CaCl_2(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$
