Particles of Substance X are dispersed in water to form a colloid. Which describes the electrical charges on the particles of Su

bstance X?
All the particles carry the same charge, which could be either positive or negative.

Each particle carries a charge that is slightly different from the other particles.

Half of the particles carry a positive charge; the other half carry a negative charge.

All the particles are uncharged, or electrically neutral.

The correct answer is option A.

All the particles carry the same charge, which could be either positive or negative.

All the particles of substance X will have same charge on its surface, which is balanced by the oppositely charged ions in the water.

For example, soap solution (sodium palmitate) dissociates into ions:

C₁₅H₁₁COONa --> C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻ + Na⁺

The cations (Na⁺) passes into the water while the anions (C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻) form aggregates or colloids.

What is the net force acting on a 3000g sled that accelerated at 5 m/s2 ?
user100 [1]

Answer:

<h2>15 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

3000 g = 3 kg

We have

net force = 3 × 5 = 15

We have the final answer as

<h3>15 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the difference between an anion and a cation
Svetlanka [38]

Cations and anions are both ions. The difference between a cation and an anion is the net electrical charge of the ion. Ions are atoms or molecules which have gained or lost one or more valencee electron giving the ion a net positive or negative charge. Cations are ions with a net positive charge.

How many moles of aluminum are needed to react completely with 1.2 mol of feo
Amanda [17]

Answer:

0.8 mol.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation for the reaction between Al and FeO is represented as:

<em>2Al + 3FeO → 3Fe + Al₂O₃,</em>

It is clear that 2 mol of Al react with 3 mol of FeO to produce 3 mol of Fe and 1 mol of Al₂O₃.

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

2 mol of Al needs → 3 mol of FeO, from stichiometry.

??? mol of Al needs → 1.2 mol of FeO.

∴<em> The no. of moles of Al are needed to react completely with 1.2 mol of FeO </em>= (2 mol)(1.2 mol)/(3 mol) = <em>0.8 mol.</em>

The pH of lemon juice is 2, and the pH of orange juice is 4. Which of these is more acidic, and by how much? What does this mean
katovenus [111]

Explanation:

The pH is a 1 to 14 scale that measures how acidic or basic is a solution, at lowest number the solution will be acid, in 7 the solution will be neutral, and in higher values will be basic. It is a  logarithmic scale, so with each number you move, the acidity or basicity will be increased by a factor of 10. So, lemon juice is more acidic than orange juice by a factor of 100.
