<span> We look for evidence. There are numerous natural phenomenon that we can't observe happening in real-time because they happen over large time scales, or large spatial scales. But we can observe the effects of these phenomenon and make predictions about what other effects we should see. </span>

Write the balanced molecular and net ionic equations for the reaction between aluminum metal and silver nitrate. identify the ox
asambeis [7]

Well in this case, silver nitrate is reduced:

Ag<span>+  </span><span>+  </span>e<span>−  </span>→ Ag(s) ↓

 

Meanwhile, the aluminum is oxidized forming a positive ion:

Al(s<span>)  →  </span>Al<span>3+  </span><span>+  3</span>e−

 

To get the overall reaction,  we add the half equations so that the electrons are eliminated:

Al(s<span>)  +   3</span>Ag<span>+  </span><span>→  </span>Al<span>3+  </span><span>+  3</span>Ag(s)

 

And similarly:

Al(s<span>)  +  3</span>AgNO3(aq<span>)  →  </span>Al(NO3)3(aq<span>)  +  3</span>Ag(s<span>)</span>

At 35 C, a sample of gas has a volume of 256 ml and a pressure of 720.torr. What would the volume
Natalija [7]

Answer: Volume would be 196.15 mL if the temperature were changed to 22^{o}C and the pressure to 1.25 atmospheres.

Explanation:

Given: T_{1} = 35^{o}C = (35 + 273) K = 308 K,     V_{1} = 256 mL,    

P_{1} = 720 torr (1 torr = 0.00131579 atm) = 0.947368 atm

T_{1} = 22^{o}C = (22 + 273) K = 295 K,       P_{2} = 1.25 atm  

Formula used to calculate volume is as follows.

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{1 atm \times 256 mL}{308 K} = \frac{1.25 atm \times V_{2}}{295 K}\\V_{2} = 196.15 mL

Thus, we can conclude that the volume would be 196.15 mL if the temperature were changed to 22^{o}C and the pressure to 1.25 atmospheres.

1. write the complete chemical symbol for the ion with 14 protons 15 neutrons and 18 electrons
motikmotik

Answer:

1.   Si^{-4}

2.  Co^{+2}

Explanation:

An ion is formed when an atom that is said to be neutral gains or losses electrons.

It is thought that a negative ion (anion) is produced as it gains electrons and a positive ion (cation) is formed when it loses an electron.

Atomic number is the total number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom.

From the information

Protons = 14

electron = 18

Net Charge = no of proton - no of electron

= 14 - 18 = -4

Mass number = 14 + 15 = 29

Thus, the chemical symbol = Si^{-4}

For ion with 27 proton, 32 neutrons and 25 electrons

Net charge = 27 - 25 = +2

Mass number = 27 + 32 = 59

Thus, the chemical symbol = Co^{+2}

Which one of the following is a correct representation of an alpha particle?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

₂He⁴  

Explanation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy
