In order to balance out the Electrons, and give it a net charge of 0, you would need 79 Protons.
RoseWind [281]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

It is known that for a neutral atom the number of protons present in that atom is equal to the number of electrons present in it.

Also, atomic number means the sum of total number of protons present in an atom.

For example, when a gold atom has net charge 0 then it means it is neutral in nature.

Also, it contains 79 electrons. This also means it contains 79 protons.

Thus, we can conclude that an atom of gold (Au) which has 79 electrons will also contain 79 protons.

An analytical chemist is titrating of a solution of nitrous acid with a solution of . The of nitrous acid is . Calculate the pH
Burka [1]

Answer:

pH = 2.69

Explanation:

The complete question is:<em> An analytical chemist is titrating 182.2 mL of a 1.200 M solution of nitrous acid (HNO2) with a solution of 0.8400 M KOH. The pKa of nitrous acid is 3.35. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 46.44 mL of the KOH solution to it.</em>

<em />

The reaction of HNO₂ with KOH is:

HNO₂ + KOH → NO₂⁻ + H₂O + K⁺

Moles of HNO₂ and KOH that react are:

HNO₂ = 0.1822L × (1.200mol / L) = <em>0.21864 moles HNO₂</em>

KOH = 0.04644L × (0.8400mol / L) = <em>0.0390 moles KOH</em>

That means after the reaction, moles of HNO₂ and NO₂⁻ after the reaction are:

NO₂⁻ = 0.03900 moles KOH = moles NO₂⁻

HNO₂ = 0.21864 moles HNO₂ - 0.03900 moles = 0.17964 moles HNO₂

It is possible to find the pH of this buffer (<em>Mixture of a weak acid, HNO₂ with the conjugate base, NO₂⁻), </em>using H-H equation for this system:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]

pH = 3.35 + log₁₀ [0.03900mol] / [0.17964mol]

<h3>pH = 2.69</h3>

Based on the results you observed for the iodine test and Benedict’s test, is it better to detect enzyme activity by measuring t
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Is better use the Benedict's test by the increase in the amount of the products if the enzyme is a reductase

Explanation:

The Benedict's test works by the reaction of the reducing sugars with the ion cupric of the reactive. If the enzyme is a reductase (degrades polysaccharides into bi o monosaccharides), it should cut the polysaccharide bond and the products would react with the Benedict's cupric ion
