A neutron breaks down to form a proton and an electron.
Change in atomic mass when an atom emits gamma radiation. The gamma radiation consists of photons which have no mass so the mass would remain the same. 
Re the change in atomic number when an atom emits an alpha particle it loses two protons and two neutrons so the atomic number drops by 2.

Joe tries to neutralize 125mL of 2.0 M HCL with 175mL of 1.0M NaOH. will the neutralization reaction be completed? If not what i
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

1) The neutralization reaction will mot be completed.

2) pH = 0.6.

Explanation:

<em>1) Will the neutralization reaction be completed?</em>

For the neutralization reaction be completed; The no. of millimoles of the acid must be equal the no. of millimoles of the base.

The no. of millimoles of 125 mL of 2.0 M HCl = MV = (2.0 M)(125.0 mL) = 250.0 mmol.

The no. of millmoles of 175 mL of 1.0 M NaOH = MV = (1.0 M)(175.0 mL) = 175.0 mmol.

∴ HCl will be in excess.

∴ The neutralization reaction will mot be completed.

<em>2) If not what is the pH of the final solution?</em>

[H⁺] =[ (MV)HCl - (MV)NaOH]/V total = (250.0 mmol - 175.0 mmol) / (300.0 mL) = 0.25 M.

∵ pH = - log[H⁺]

<em>∴  pH =</em> - log(0.25) =<em> 0.6.</em>

4al + 3o2 → 2al2o3 indicate how many electrons are transferred in the formation of one formula unit of product.
nekit [7.7K]

The balanced reaction is:

<span>4 Al  +  3 O2  -->  2 Al2O3</span>

 

Each Aluminum atom wants to lose 3 electrons to become isoelectronic with Oxygen. Each Oxygen on the other hand wants to gain 2 electrons. Since the reaction shows 6 Oxygen atoms in the product and each want to gain 2 electrons, therefore a total of 12 electrons are transferred. Since the problem ask for the electrons transferred per formula unit, hence:

<span>6 electrons         (ANSWER)</span>

A hydroelectric dam produces renewable energy for the local area. Which best explains why more hydroelectric dams are not built?
romanna [79]

Answer:

The dam disrupts the river wildlife and ecosystem.

Explanation:

Though it is believed that using the dam as a power generation or hydroelectric power supply generates no greenhouse gases, it, however, has many disadvantages which make it deemed not suitable or sustainable for use in the contemporary time.

Majorly, the top reason why more hydroelectric dams are not built is that "the dam disrupts the river wildlife and ecosystem."

Also, it affects the water quality and other use of water for humans such as recreational use.

There is also a possible chance of dams producing methane; a greenhouse gas through the organic materials in the water that is rotting.

What is the mass defect of lithium? Assume the following:
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Δm = 3.0684

Explanation:

Data Given:

Atomic number of lithium = 3

Atomic mass of lithium = 7.0144 amu

Mass of 1 proton = 1.0073 amu

Mass of 1 neutron = 1.0087 amu

Solution:

Mass Defect:

Mass defect is the difference of mass number of an atom and its atomic number.

Formula used

Δm = [Z (mass of proton + mass of nutron)  + ( A − Z ) mass of nutron] − m of atom

where:

Δm = mass defect (amu)

Z = atomic number

A = mass number

Put values in formula

Δm = [3 ( 1.0073 amu + 1.0087 amu)  + ( 7 − 3 ) 1.0087 ] − 7.0144

Δm = [3 (2.016)  + (4) 1.0087 ] − 7.0144

Δm = [(6.048)  + (4.0348) ] − 7.0144

Δm = 10.0828 − 7.0144

Δm = 3.0684
