What is the role of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?

Neutrons keep the Protons "in check", meaning Protons hold a very strong repulsive positive charge. The Neutrons counteract the repulsive force within a small space to keep the Nucleus stable.

I hope this helps! :)

What is true about energy?
xeze [42]
The correct answer is option A. Energy cannot be created during an ordinary chemical reaction. There is no such thing as an ordinary chemical reaction. Energy cannot be created or destroyed this is according to the law of conservation of energy. It can only be transformed from one form to another form.

The molar mass of a solid carboxylic acid is determined by titrating a known mass of the acid with a standardized solution of Na
laiz [17]

The answer is: II.The endpoint is recorded when the solution is dark red in color rather than light pink.

The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes colour in a colourimetric titration and that is point when titration must stop.  

Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions. If  this indicator change color to dark red, more base is added and endpoint is not accurate.

If the the acid is spilled before titration, that does not make endpoint wrong and molar mass can be calculated.

In this example we can take acetic acid as carboxylic acid; basic salt sodium acetate CH₃COONa is formed from the reaction between weak acid (in this example acetic acid CH₃COOH) and strong base (in this example sodium acetate NaOH).  

Balanced chemical reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide:  

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂O(l).  

Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base react quantitatively with each other.

A group 2 metal carbonate has a mass of 84 g/mol. Identify the group 2 metal X using its chemical formula.
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Magnesium

0.003mole

Explanation:

The problem here entails we find the metal in the carbonate.

 For group 2 member, let the metal  = X;

 The carbonate is XCO₃;

 If we sum the atomic mass of the elements in the metal carbonate, we should arrive at 84g/mol

 Atomic mass of C = 12g/mol

                            O  = 16g/mol

 Atomic mass of X + 12 + 3(16)  = 84

  Atomic mass of X  = 84 - 60  = 24g/mol

The element with atomic mass of 24g is Magnesium

B.

Number of moles in 0.3g of CaCO₃:

     Molar mass of CaCO₃   = 40 + 12 + 3(16)  = 100g/mol

 Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

 Number of moles  = \frac{0.3}{100}   = 0.003mole
