Why is the nucleus very tense?

Chemistry

iren [92.7K]3 years ago

Atoms are composed almost entirely of empty space, about 99.99999999% empty space. Virtually all of the atom's mass is from its protons an neutrons. In cases where intense gravity has 'squeezed out' most of the empty space, such as in a neutron star, the matter is incredibly dense. This density is approximately equivalent to the mass of a Boeing 747 compressed to the size of a small grain of sand, or the human population condensed to the size of a sugar cube.

If two gases are present in a container, the total pressure in the container is equal to
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.

Explanation:

According to Dalton's Law of partial pressure, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures which each individual gas would exert if it were confined alone in the volume occupied by the mixture.

Hence, Ptotal = P1+ P2

where Ptotal is the total pressure

P1 and P2 are the partial pressures exerted seperately by the individual gases 1 and 2 that make up the mixture.

What is the mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that contain 22.9% NaOH by mass=0.882

Explanation:

We are given that

Aqueous solution that contains 22.9% NaOH by mass means

22.9 g NaOH in 100 g solution.

Mass of NaOH(WB)=22.9 g

Mass of water =100-22.9=77.1

Na=23

O=16

H=1.01

Molar mass of NaOH(MB)=23+16+1.01=40.01

Number of moles =\frac{Given\;mass}{Molar\;mass}

Using the formula

Number of moles of  NaOH(n_B)=\frac{W_B}{M_B}=\frac{22.9}{40.01}

n_B=0.572moles

Molar mass of water=16+2(1.01)=18.02g

Number of moles of water(n_A)=\frac{77.1}{18.02}

n_A=4.279 moles

Now, mole fraction of NaOH

=\frac{n_B}{n_B+n_A}

=\frac{4.279}{0.572+4.279}

=0.882

Hence, the mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that contain 22.9% NaOH by mass=0.882

A voltaic cell is constructed using the following half-reactions: Ag+(aq) + e- ---> Ag(s) EoAg+ = +0.80 V Cu2+(aq) + 2e- ---&
Anton [14]
- Standard reduction potential of Ag/Ag⁺ is 0.80 v and that of Cu⁺²(aq)/Cu⁰ is +0.34 V.
- The couple with a greater value of standard reduction potential will oxidize the reduced form of the other couple.
Ag⁺ will be reduced to Ag(s) and Cu⁰ will be oxidized to Cu²⁺
Anode reaction: Cu⁰(s) →  Cu²⁺ + 2 e⁻     E⁰ = +0.34 V
Cathode reaction: Ag⁺(aq) + e → Ag(s)     E⁰ = +0.80 V 
Cell reaction: Cu⁰(s) + 2 Ag⁺(aq) → Cu⁺²(aq) + 2 Ag⁰(s)
E⁰ cell = E⁰ cathode + E⁰ anode
            = 0.80 + (-0.34) = + 0.46 V

Magnesium reacts with a certain element to form a compound with the general formula MgX. What would the most likely formula be f
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X
