Why is energy required to remove an electron from an atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Yanka [14]4 years ago

Electrons in an atom are held there by the force of attraction exerted by the positive charge of the nucleus on the negative charge of the electron. Energy is required to remove an electron from atom to overcome this attractive force.

The pH of an acetic acid solution is 4.0. (10n= 1en).
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

1. [H+] = 1 x 10^-4mol/L

2. [OH-] = 1 x 10^-10mol/L

Explanation:

1. From the question given, the pH is 4.0. We can obtain the value of the value of the hydrogen ion concentration [H+] as follows:

pH = —Log[H+]

4 = —Log[H+]

—4 = Log[H+]

Anti-log of —4

[H+] = 1 x 10^-4mol/L

2. Recall: [H+] x [OH-] = 1 x 10^-14

But [H+] = 1 x 10^-4mol/L

1 x 10^-4 x [OH-] = 1 x 10^-14

Divide both side by 1 x 10^-4mol/L

[OH-] = 1 x 10^-14/1 x 10^-4

[OH-] = 1 x 10^-10mol/L

Sulfuric acid is essential to dozens of important industries from steelmaking to plastics and pharmaceuticals. More sulfuric aci
Pavlova-9 [17]

Given:

K = 0.71 = Kp

The reaction of sulphur with oxygen is

                            S(s)   + O2(g)  ---> SO2(g)

initial Pressure                   6.90         0

Change                                -x            +x

Equilibrium                     6.90-x          x

Kp = pSO2 / pO2 = 0.71 = x / (6.90-x)

4.899 - 0.71x  = x

4.899 = 1.71x

x = 2.86 atm = pressure of SO2 formed

temperature = 950 C = 950 + 273.15 K = 1223.15 K

Volume = 50 L

Let us calculate moles of SO2 formed using ideal gas equation as

PV = nRT

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

putting other values

n = PV / RT = 2.86 X 50 / 1223.15 X 0.0821 = 1.42 moles

Moles of Sulphur required = 1.42 moles

Mass of sulphur required or consumed = moles X atomic mass of sulphur

mass of S = 1.42 X 32 = 45.57 grams or 0.04557 Kg  of sulphur

__CH4+O2-->__CO2+__H2O
Temka [501]

CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O

On the reactant side you start with 1 carbon, 4 hydrogen, and 2 oxygen. On the product side you start with 1 carbon, 2 hydrogen, and 3 oxygen. In order to get them equal, you need to put 2 in front of the H2O which equals out the number of Hydrogen on both sides. But Now we must balance the Oxygens. Because of the H2O we now have 4 Oxygens on the product side and only 2 on the reactant. In order to balance this, we put a 2 in front of the O2 giving us 4 hydrogen on both sides, Balancing the equation
