Answer:
Explanation:
A. The charge on an element is determined by the differences between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.
An atom will have no charges if the number of protons and electrons are the same.
- When an atom loses or gains electrons, the number of electrons will either decrease or increase
- if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the excess electrons is the charge on the atom. And this makes the atom become a negatively charged ion.
- if the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons, the deficient electrons makes the atom a positively charged ion. The number of electrons by which the atom is deficient makes the atom a positively charged ion.
Charge = number of protons - number of electrons
B. Electrons form the charges they do because with the charge, they become stable like the noble gases.
The desire of every atom is to have stable electronic configuration like those of the noble gases.
A potassium atom with a configuration 2 8 8 1 will prefer to lose an electron to become an Argon atom making the ion stable.
All organic substances contain carbon atoms.
Answer:
[H+] = 1.74 x 10⁻⁵
Explanation:
By definition pH = -log [H+]
Therefore, given the pH, all we have to do is solve algebraically for [H+] :
[H+] = antilog ( -pH ) = 10^-4.76 = 1.74 x 10⁻⁵
Answer:
Explanation:
A mole is any quantity of a substance that contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles. At standard temperature and pressure, or STP, 1 mole of as is equal to 22.4 liters. This is true for any gas, regardless of the specific kind.
Although it is not specified, we can assume this gas is at STP. Let's set up a ratio using this information: 22.4 L/mol
Multiply by the given number of liters: 12
Flip the ratio so the liters of chlorine cancel.
The original measurement of liters has 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.
For the number we found, that is the hundredth place.
The 5 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 3 up to a 4.
12 liters of chlorine gas at STP is approximately <u>0.54 moles of chlorine gas.</u>
