What happens to the composition of an atom to cause it to become positively or negatively charged?

<span>The addition and subtraction of negatively charged electrons can easily change an atom’s charge, because they perpetually spin in valence shells outside the nucleus. It is easier for a neighboring atom to share or steal an electron rather than a positively charged proton, which is found in the nucleus. It requires a strong energy input to split a proton free from other protons and neutrons. thus, the atoms lose or gain electrons from neighboring ones and become what is known as "ions". Hope it helped!</span>

a 3.81 g sample of NaHCO3 was completely decomposed. After decomposition, Na2CO3 had mass of 2.86g. Determine mass of H2CO3 prod
qaws [65]

Answer:

1.67g H2CO3 are produced

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2CO3

<em>2 moles of NaHCO3 produce 1 mole of Na2CO3 and 1 mole of H2CO3</em>

To solve this question we need to find the moles of Na2CO3 = Moles of H2CO3. With their moles we can find the mass of H2CO3 as follows:

<em>Moles Na2CO3 -Molar mass: 105.99g/mol-</em>

2.86g Na2CO3 * (1mol/105.99g) = 0.02698 moles Na2CO3 = Moles H2CO3

<em>Mass H2CO3 -Molar mass: 62.03g/mol-</em>

0.02698 moles  * (62.03g/mol) =

<h3>1.67g H2CO3 are produced</h3>

Explain how water might have two different densities​
MrMuchimi

Answer:

I think this is it

Water can have two different densities if it has substances dissolved in it. ... When liquid water freezes it becomes solid water or ice, which is less dense than liquid water. The fact that solid water (ice) is less dense than liquid water is evident in the way ice floats in a glass of water.
