Answer:

Here’s what I get.

Explanation:

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
The number of protons determines the number of electrons.
The number of electrons determines the chemical properties of the element,

Thus, the atomic number determines the identity of the element.

The atomic mass does not affect the chemical properties, so different isotopes of an element behave alike.

11.23 mm = ____ m 1,123 m 0.01123 m 0.1123 m 11,230 m

kaheart [24]

For every meter, the equivalent measurements is 1000 millimeters. Hence in the problem where the number of millimeters is given, we divide the number by 1000 to get the number of meters. The answer here is 0.01123 m.

Write the complete balanced equation for the neutralization reaction that occurs when aqueous hydroiodic acid, HI, and sodium hy

Serhud [2]

Answer:

H+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) ------> H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Explanation:

The complete reaction when hydroiodic acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate combine, would be as follows -

HI + NaHCO3 ----> NaI + H2O + CO2

net reaction

H2CO3 is highly unstable, and thus decomposes into the water and carbon dioxide you see present as the reactants. If you didn't know already, H2CO3 is also reffered to as carbonic acid. The rest of the elements present on the reactant side are Iodine and Sodium, which is why they are present on the product side as NaI.

Let me include the " physical states " in this reaction as well -

HI ( aq ) + NaHCO3 ( aq ) ----> NaI ( aq ) + H2O ( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Now the complete ionic equation would simply be each compound present as ions in an aqueous solution, so there is no need for an explanation on this step -

H+ ( aq ) + I- ( aq ) + Na+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) -------> Na+ ( aq ) + I- ( aq ) + H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

The spectator ions in this reaction are I- and Na+, so canceling them out, you would receive the following net ionic equation -

H+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) ------> H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The answer is letter A. Diamond

Explanation:

The diamond is a crystalline form of carbon, with a cubic structure, of the sp³ type, that is, each carbon atom of the structure is linked to four other carbon atoms, forming a tetrahedral geometry.
