If a neutral atom becomes negatively charged, it has undergone _________.

1 answer:

7 0

<span>If a neutral atom becomes negatively charged, it has undergone reduction.

Reduction is the process through which a neutral atom gain an electron (thus reducing its oxidation number) and turns into a negative ion (also known as : anion)</span>

What causes gas particles to collide with the walls of their containers?

blondinia [14]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a particle is directly proportional to the temperature of it. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the molecules move, causing t[he particles to collide with the walls of their containers.

The decomposition of copper(II) nitrate on heating is endothermic reaction. 2Cu(NO3)2(s) → 2C10(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g) Calculate t

Basile [38]

Answer:

The enthalpy change for the given reaction is 424 kJ.

Explanation:

$2Cu(NO_3)_2(s)\rightarrow 2CuO(s) + 4NO_2(g) + O_2(g),\Delta H_{rxn}=?$

We have :

Enthalpy changes of formation of following s:

$\Delta H_{f,Cu(NO_3)_2}=-302.9 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{f,CuO}=-157.3 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{f,NO_2}= 33.2 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{f,O_2}= 0 kJ/mol$ (standard state)

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [\Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [\Delta H_f(reactant)]$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the given reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ =

$=(2 mol\times \Delta H_{f,CuO}+4\times \Delta H_{f,NO_2}+1 mol\times \Delta H_{f,O_2})-(2mol\times \Delta H_{f,Cu(NO_3)_2})$

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ =

$(2mol\times (-157.3 kJ/mol)+4\times 33.2 kJ/mol=1 mol\times 0 kJ/mol)-(2 mol\times (-302.9 kJ/mol)$

$\Delta H_{rxn}=424 kJ$

The enthalpy change for the given reaction is 424 kJ.

Which of the following are acids by the Bronsted-Lowry Definition:

olga55 [171]

ANSWER IS (A)

EXPLANATION:

Bronsted-Lowry concept states that a substance is an acid if it can act as a H+ donor.

HCl in aqueous solution means that HCl is present in water, HCl + H2O --> H3O+ + Cl-. This reaction will take place, the H+ from HCl will be donated to H2O. So, HCl is a bronsted-lowry acid by definition.

However, Methanol (CH3OH) its written that it is liquid, i.e. pure methanol, CH3OH(l). It is both acidic as well as basic. when it is mixed with water then it behaves as an acid.

The last one ammonia in gas phase is also neutral because its not in water. if mixed in water it behaves as a base.
