Explanation:

It is known that an atom consists of protons, neutrons and electrons. Both protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus of an atom whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus.

Atomic number is the total number of protons present in an atom. On the other hand, atomic mass is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

That is,     Atomic mass = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                 no. of neutrons = atomic mass - no. of protons

Therefore, we can conclude that to find the number of neutrons in an atom, subtract its number of protons from atomic mass.

g The boiling of water is a Question 4 options: chemical and physical damage chemical change because a gas (steam) is given off
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

physical change because the gaseous water is chemically the same as the liquid

Explanation:

Matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are; solid, liquid and gas.

A physical change can be defined as a type of change that only affects the physical form of a chemical substance (matter) without having any effect on its chemical properties. Thus, a physical change would only affect the physical appearance and properties of a chemical substance (matter) but not its chemical properties.

This ultimately implies that, a physical change result in a change of matter from one form or phase (liquid, solid or gas) to another without a corresponding change in chemical composition.

Hence, the boiling of water is considered to be a physical change because the gaseous water is chemically the same as the liquid i.e there isn't any changes in chemical composition of water when boiling.

Some fuel cells are powered by hydrogen. Scientists are looking into the decomposition of water (H2O) to make hydrogen fuel with
skad [1K]

A.  Decomposing water requires a high activation energy.

Explanation:

In decomposing water to release hydrogen gas to make fuel cells, the process requires a very high activation energy.

                             2H₂O ⇆ 2H₂  + O₂

 This is the overall reaction. O-H must be broken to release free hydrogen to produce hydrogen gas.

The O-H bond is a very strong force of attraction that requires a high activation energy to overcome.

  • The activation energy is the energy barrier that must be overcome before a reaction takes place.
  • The sun is a renewable source of energy.
  • Water decomposition produces useful oxygen gas needed by all life for cellular respiration.

For the reaction 2A(g) â B(g), the equilibrium constant is Kp = 0.76. A reaction mixture initially contains 4.0 atm of gas (PA =
timofeeve [1]

Answer: (a) The reaction mixture will proceed toward products.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of pressure of products to the pressure of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_p

K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium, while Q is the quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

2A(g)\rightleftharpoons B(g)

The expression for Q_p is written as:

Q_p=\frac{p_B}{(p_A)^2}

Q_p=\frac{(2.0)}{(2.0)^2}

Q_p=0.5

K_p=0.76

Thus as K_p>Q_p , the reaction will shift towards the right i.e. towards the product side.
