Answer:

The products are NaCl and H₂O

Explanation:

The complete question is:

"Hydrochloric acid, or HCl, reacts with solid NaOH. What are the products of this chemical reaction?

HCl and NaCl

NaCl and H2O

NaOH and HCl

NaOH and H2O"

Neutralization reactions are the reactions between an acid and a base, producing salt and water. It is the type of reaction that happens in this case.

An acid and a base are strong when fully ionized, that is, in the ionization process they completely transform into positive cations or ions and negative anions or ions. So, a strong acid is an acid that completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution.

In this case, both the HCl acid and the NaOH base are strong, completely dissociating as follows:

HCl → H⁺ + Cl⁻

NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻

So you have:

H⁺ + Cl⁻ + Na⁺ + OH⁻ → ?

The hydroxide anions and the hydrogen cations will neutralize each other to produce water.

H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O

So the sodium Na anions and Cl cations will form the NaCl salt.

Finally, the balanced chemical equation is

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O

Explain how balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object's motion differently.

Kazeer [188]

Newton's first law of motion is sometimes called the law of inertia. When the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity. Unbalanced forces can cause an object to accelerate or decelerate. Unbalanced forces can also cause an object to change direction.

What is the wavenumber of the radiation emitted when a hydrogen

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: Wavenumber of the radiation emitted is $0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}$

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and energy of the wave follows the equation:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of the radiation = $1.634\times 10^{-18}J$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of radiation = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.634\times 10^{-18}J=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=12.16\times 10^{-8}m$

$\bar {\nu}=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{12.16\times 10^{-8}}=0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}$

Thus wavenumber of the radiation emitted is $0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}$

What kind of electrical charges do protons,electrons, and neutrons have?

Vinil7 [7]

Protons = Positive Charge

Neutrons = Neutral Charge/No Charge

Electrons = Negative Charge

This one's simple: electrons have a negative charge, protons have a positive charge and neutrons — as the name implies — are neutral.

Protons

Elements are differentiated from each other by the number of protons within their nucleus. For example, carbon atoms have six protons in their nucleus. Atoms with seven protons are nitrogen atoms. The number of protons for each element is known as the atomic number and does not change in chemical reactions. In other words, the elements at the beginning of a reaction -- known as the reactants -- are the same elements at the end of a reaction -- known as the products.

Neutrons

Although elements have a specific number of protons, atoms of the same element may have different numbers of neutrons and are termed isotopes. For example, hydrogen has three isotopes, each with a single proton. Protium is an isotope of hydrogen with zero neutrons, deuterium has one neutron, and tritium has two neutrons. Although the number of neutrons may differ between isotopes, the isotopes all behave in a chemically similar manner.

Electrons

Electrons are not bound as tightly to the atom as protons and neutrons. This allows electrons to be lost, gained or even shared between atoms. Atoms that lose an electron become ions with a +1 charge, since there is now one more proton than electrons. Atoms that gain an electron have one more electron than protons and become a -1 ion. Chemical bonds that hold atoms together to form compounds result from these changes in the number and arrangement of electrons.
