If by "biggest" and "smallest", you mean mass (which is a measure of how much matter is there), then the smallest is the hydrogen atom with one proton and one electron.

Answer:

The correct answer is: Electron

Explanation:

Atom is the fundamental unit of matter that is composed of the subatomic particles electrons, protons and neutrons.

The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons and are collectively known as the nucleons. Approximately <u>99.94% of the total mass of the atom is in the nucleus on the atom.</u>

<u>Therefore, the electrons has the least mass of about 9.11×10⁻³¹ kg which is approximately 1/1836 to the mass of the proton.</u>

The equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products are [ HA ] = 0.260 M [HA]=0.260 M , [ H + ] = 2.00 × 10 − 4 M [H+]=
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

pKa of the acid HA with given equilibrium concentrations is 6.8

Explanation:

The dissolution reaction is:

HA ⇔ H⁺ + A⁻

So at equilibrium, Ka is calculated as below

Ka = [H⁺] x [A⁻] / [HA] = 2.00 x 10⁻⁴ x 2.00 x 10⁻⁴ / 0.260

    = 15.38 x 10⁻⁸

Hence, by definition,

pKa = -log(Ka) = - log(15.38 x 10⁻⁸) = 6.813

Anthracite coal d) is the most abundant grade of coal e) is very soft and burns at high temperatures a) causes the most air poll
forsale [732]

Answer: The correct option is C ( is very hard and burns cleanly).

Explanation:

COAL is a form of rock that is made up of mostly carbon amongst other elements which includes sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. There are different types of coal which include:

--> anthracite ( 90% carbon)

--> bituminous coal ( 70-90% carbon)

--> lignite ( 60- 70% carbon) and

--> peat (60 % carbon).

Anthracite is the type of coal that contains the highest carbon content ( 90% carbon). This makes it very hard and is often a times referred to as HARD COAL. Anthracite is a higher quality coal for domestic and open fire heating. This is because it contains less impurities than other type of coal and thereby making it to BURN CLEANLY avoiding atmospheric pollution.
