Characterize the size of an atom.

Chemistry

Atoms are the smallest known substance to man, the building blocks of everything, the atoms size usually depends on the electrons, the electrons are what really takes up space.

And my source ( Google ) says :

Because electrons are what take up space in atoms, the result is that the size of the biggest filled orbital determines the size of the atom or ion. Sizes of orbitals depend on the quantum numbers (n = 1, n = 3, etc.) and also on the effective nuclear charge.

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!!

2. (Exercise 4.1.6) A liquid adhesive consists of a polymer dissolved in a solvent. The amount of polymer in the solution is imp
Lilit [14]

Answer:

800 lb of pure solvent , 1700 lb of 20% solution and 500 lb of 10% solution will be mixed to form 3000 lb of 13 % solution .

Explanation:

3000 lb of 13% solution is required .

Total adhesive in weight = 3000 x .13 = 390 lb of adhesive

Available = 500 lb of 10% solution = 50 lb of adhesive

Rest = 390 - 50 = 340 lb required .

rest mass of solution = 3000 - 500 = 2500 lb

mass of adhesive required = 340 lb

Let the mass  of 20% required be V

mass of adhesive = .20 V

.20 V = 340

V = 1700

rest of the volume = 2500 - 1700 = 800 lb which will be of pure solvent

So 800 lb of pure solvent , 1700 lb of 20% solution and 500 lb of 10% solution will be mixed to form 3000 lb of 13 % solution .

How many grams is 20 moles of (nh4)2so4 please show work
ryzh [129]

n=20 mol

(NH)4 SO4

Atomic masses :

N- 14

H- 1

S- 32

O- 16

Therefore M= 14×2 + 1×8 + 32 + 16×4

= 132

m= nM

= 20×132

= 2640g

How is the rate of reaction influenced by a catalyst? how do catalysts make this possible?
Eddi Din [679]
Answer:
            The rate of reaction increases when the reaction is catalyzed by using catalyst.

Explanation:
                   Catalyst is a specie which when involved in reaction, speeds up the reaction without consuming itself. The catalyst is regenerated at the end of reaction and is recovered in good yield. Catalyst main role in reaction is to decrease the Activation energy of the reaction. This decrease in activation is achieved through different mechanisms. Without going in detail, they are as follow,
                  1) By providing different pathway to reaction

                  2) By weakening the bonds

                  3) By providing surface area to reactants
