Almost all of the mass of an atom (more than 99%) is in its nucleus, so "atomic mass" is pretty much a measure of the size of the nucleus of an atom. The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are almost exactly the same size.

Which of the following is the correct formula for Ca2+ reacting with NO2??
mariarad [96]

Answer:

B. Ca(NO2)2

Explanation:

Ions (charged atoms) combine with one another to form stable ionic compounds. In this case, calicium ion (Ca2+) is said to react with NO2, which has a charge of -1 i.e. +1-1(2) = 1-2 = -1.

This means that calcium has a charge of +2 while nitrite ion has charge of -1, hence, when they combine, they exchange their charges, which become their subscript as follows:

Ca2+ + NO2- → Ca(NO2)2

Ca(NO2)2 is a stable ionic compound called calcium nitrite. Notice that it takes two atoms of NO2- to react with one atom of Ca2+.

sample of atmospheric gas collected at an industrial site is stored in a 250 mL amber glass bottle that has a pressure of 1.02 a
Nady [450]

Answer:- New pressure is 0.942 atm.

Solution:- The volume of the glass bottle would remain constant here and the pressure will change with the temperature.

Pressure is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature. The equation used here is:

P_1T_2=P_2T_1

Where, T_1 and T_2 are initial and final temperatures, P_1 and P_2 are initial and final pressures.

T_1 = 20.3 + 273.15 = 293.45 K

T_2 = -2.0 + 273.15 = 271.15 K

P_1 = 1.02 atm

T_2  = ?

Let's plug in the values in the equation and solve it for final pressure.

1.02atm(271.15K)=P_2(293.45K)

P_2=\frac{1.02atm*271.15K}{293.45K}

P_2 = 0.942 atm

So, the new pressure of the jar is 0.942 atm.
