Answer: By losing electrons

Explanation: A neutral atom consists of equal number of protons and electrons, thus the net charge is zero. When an atom lose electrons, the number of protons exceed the number of electrons and thus acquire positive charge.

Sodium is an element with atomic number of 11 and thus contains 11 electrons and 11 protons. When it loses its valence electron, the number of electrons reduce to 10 and thus it acquire a positive charge.

Na:11:[Ne]3s^1

Na^+:10:[Ne]

A sample of milk kept at 25 °C is found to sour 40 times as rapidly as when it is kept at 4 °C. Estimate the activation energy f
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

120.575 kJ is the activation energy for the souring process.

Explanation:

The formula for an activation energy is given as:

\log (\frac{K_2}{K_1})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

where,

K_1 = rate constant at 25^oC = 40k

K_2 = rate constant at 4^oC = k

Ea = activation energy for the reaction = ?

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

T_1 = initial temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298 K

T_2 = final temperature = 4^oC=273+4=277 K

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:l

\log (\frac{k}{40k})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times 8.314 J/mol K}[\frac{1}{298K}-\frac{1}{277 K}]

E_a=120,575.61J=120.575 kJ

120.575 kJ is the activation energy for the souring process.

Clasifica los siguientes elementos en metales, no metales, metaloides , o gases , nobles : flúor , azufre , nitrogeno , cloro ,
professor190 [17]

Answer:

<u>  Translation:</u>

Classify the following elements into metals, nonmetals, metalloids, or gases, noble : fluorine, sulfur, nitrogen, chlorine, magnesium, helium, sodium, bromine, silicon, tellurium.

  • Metals: magnesium and sodium.
  • Nonmetals: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, sulfur and nitrogen.
  • Metalloids: silicon and tellurium.
  • Noble gases: helium.

Explanation:

Metals: They occupy the left and central areas of the Periodic Table; therefore, they constitute a majority group of the elements.

Nonmetals: They are located in the upper right region of the Periodic Table.

Within the Periodic Table, the metalloids lie diagonally from boron to polonium. Items above on the right are nonmetals, and items below on the left are metals.

The noble gases are located in group 18 of the Periodic Table.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Blackbody radiation

Explanation:

This phenomenon described by Susan is know as black body radiation. Different materials by color reacts to incident radiation on them in diverse manner.

  • A white surface will reflect all the wavelength of light incident on it.
  • A black surface will absorb all the wavelength of light on it.

This absorption causes the black surface to be hotter compared to other surfaces.

2. Which set of symbols represents isotopes of the same element?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

so you can do the maths your self

Explanation:

isotopes are elements with he same proton number but difference in their neutron number

  • proton number is also known as the atomic number
  • mass number is the sum of the proton number and the neutron number
  • mass number = proton number + neutron number
